Reviews for DarkBase 3 - Phoenix Team

Loved it, but...

The graphics, gameplay, and music were great. The story was a barely there, which was annoying because it was so good, but the rest made up for it.

I did have one major issue, though. There were a LOT of glitches.

1. Enemies stop generating. On some missions, this means an easy win (defend the base). On others, it means you can't win (seek and destroy).

2. Weapons stop firing. Yep. Happened to me a few times.

3. D-Orgone Beamer for awhile started firing the linear shot like it was the conical beam, which meant that the 100 ammo went fast.

Oh, and there were a few typos that were there. If you work on something six months, you should spare 20 minutes to make sure every word in the game is spelled perfectly. Just a side note, not worth taking a point off.

Lastly...
I GOT THE HIGH SCORE!!! YES! YES! YESSSSS!!!!!! SUCK IT, BITCHES!

Sorry. We dedicated a lot more than 20 mins to proofread the texts... but we are Italians and our English is not as good as our food!
Would you be so kind to send me a PM with the Typos you've found?
Thanks in advance.

Very fun! :)

Like the title says. ^.^ The story could use some work and the character seems very... Gunner-much. o.o? But the overall game play was very fun and so was all the alien swarm-age.

9/9 - 4/5

pretty good but a bit buggy!

This game is the best of the series so far, it improved a lot since Darkbase 1. I enjoyed playing it a lot, but I found a few annoying bugs:
- Many times when I'm on an are cleaning mission the game counts exactly 32 more monsters than their real number. This means I can't complete that mission, and, since there is no restart button, I have to reload the game to try again.
This bug usually occurs when I play the second area cleaning mission at the given session. So, when I reload the game I can finish that particular mission but if I try another one of that type I encounter this bug again.
- A less sever but notable bug is that somtimes my henchmen disappear on base defense missions.
- At the final mission not only my mercenaries disappeared but (by about the 2nd half of the time) the mosters too.

Otherwise it's a very well-made game, almost everything is fine. The graphics looks nice, the sounds and the musics are good, there is volume control for both, and the gamplay is also pretty good. It's challengeing but not too hard, and you get the upgrades mostly in time.
I can mention only a few minor flaws:
- There is a low-rewarded mission in wich there are all kind of raptors including the largest one. They need D-Orange Beamer, wich you get pretty late. A mission wich has only a reward of 6500 shouldn't contain so dangerous enemies.
- Many of the weapons are useless: the Cyro canon, the rocket launcher especially, but I didn't have much use of the various machine guns. Basically the shotguns, the electro gun and the orange beamer are useful only.
- There are too many logos, it takes forever to get to the main menu!
