Osta Project Freedom

The game was awesome until we got to mission 21. The end was unfinished when the after objection was complete. Needs conclusion after this, their were no promotion, acknowledgements of any kind. Just nothing really.

It's suppose to be a action based Simulation right? Well it's more a lowered down version of Free lancer, whats diffrent here you think? They take away all your freedom to do as pleased and instead you are forced on each mission but before you go out on mission you can choose which upgrade you want to get upgraded from the reward and the things you can level are Attack, Defence and Speed.

You can to select easyli what upgrade to take and sometimes you get your weapon /sheild / engines upgraded. For being 3€ on steam it's not to bad... but I would recomand this game to people who enjoys being a lapdog and forced doing mission for upgrades.

Oh yeah the lock on missels will miss 90% of the time so if you are lucky with it might hit.

A short Action-Shooter in space (~4h to complete).
No more, no less.
Runs smoothly on my win7 64bit machine.
I bought it for 1€ on Winter Sale, worth it.

Better than the Strike Suit games, imo. One of the better space fighter combat games I've played. The tech is obviously old, but it runs super smooth, doesn't look half bad design-wise, and most importantly, is actually fun to play. I have some gripes with it: The friendly AI is only useful for distracting enemy fire, so in escort missions (of which there are sadly many) you're practically on your own. Buildings and other structures have invisible walls around them, so even if you think you're nowhere near it, you will likely still crash into it and explode if you get close enough. I have actually been killed by buildings more often than enemy AI. There is also a sky box, which is understandable, but completely unfair considering the enemy AI can go further past it than you can, meaning sometimes pursuing enemies is a drag, with you waiting for them to come back down so you can take them out. Most of these can be put down to the hardware limitations of the time rather than bad design, so I've given these faults the benefit of the doubt and just gone with it, which made the experience more enjoyable. Without taking the game seriously, I was able to have fun with it. That, in my opinion, saves this game.

It's a very linear space fighter game wherein the general idea is "crush kill destroy you are the STRONGEST IN THE UNIVERSE". You get to upgrade your ship as time passes, but that's the only customization there is; minimal replay value due to exactly one campaign and no modding. Story's okay, voice acting's generally good but has a few terribad spots, mostly where the script obviously wanted characters to be interrupted but the devteam didn't bother making the pauses between different characters speaking have anything other than a fixed interval.

Basically: It's good fun, and it's incredibly cheap at the moment (75 cents) so you don't really have that much to lose by buying it.

decent game

An alright game. Short, but worth more than the $3 you pay for it. Only critisisms being the movie audio doesn't play properly(theres only like 4 in the entire game), no high res/windowed mode, "W" and "S" are roll left and right.

Surprisingly good for such a cheap game. The graphics can be awesome - if you're into Mars geography, you'll wet yourself. Gameplay is fine, it's a general arcade shooter - no targeting, just shoot in front of you. Friendly AI actually do their jobs, getting kills, getting killed, and engaging enemies you're not engaging.

Plot, music and voiceovers should be taken less seriously. The finale isn't epic, but it's still a fun game for a couple of days.

Space bits might reminder you of a stripped-down Freelancer (but it's a shooter, not sandbox), graphics might remind you of one of the X games, and the on-planet bits will definitely remind you of Rogue Squadron.

P.S. Play on easy.

Pros
pretty enough for me (not hard)
control is responsive
runs smooth on older PC

Cons
mouse is not locked to game screen on multi monitor setups
voice acting is sometimes bad
friendly AI does nothing
secondary weapons are only good against stationary targets
controls are limited
gameplay is shallow
gfx settings are limited
music is repeditive and doesnt match the gameplay
"Right between the eyes!"

This game seems really simple and there is nothing big about it, but I like it. I like it so much that I beated it, like, ten times or even more. Maybe it's quite beautiful views of space around, or fast paced combat, or simplicity of gameplay, I can't say for certain. But I definitely recommend you give it a shot if you'll see this game on sale.

voice over gets annoying after the third time you hear "we have a new ace here" within 10 seconds. Mouse only no skill required. There may be some keys that you could use but never found any other need than holding down left mouse button and using scroll wheel to speed up or slow down.

Also god forbid you have two monitors cause the game will lose focus if you accidentally mouse out of your first screen (every 5 minutes)

"Right between the eyes" was fun for like 10 minutes.

The World's #1 ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Space Simulator Simulator

Not worth a cent. Bad voice acting, bad design, weird controls. Allies seem to think that you need encouragement every time you kill an enemy ship such as "Right between the eyes!", "Looks like we've got a new ace!" and my favourite "Nice shoot!" (Not gramatically correct). I got this game as it was cheap in the sale but even though I only spent a a pound on it, I was severely dissapointed. I won't complain about any other of the sub-par features (graphics, physics, mesh rendering) as it is an older game, however if you care about that sort of thing then this isn't for you.

this game is not bad, but is so unpolished that you can't even choose a 16:9 resolution... and that's not all.

This isn't very good.

Project Trashcan

I thought it was pretty GOOD for an older game...worth looking at...!
