This is almost perfect except for the reset that can be a real bother.
Reviews for "ShellCore Command: Ep1"
wicked
wicked game beat and still playing it i accually made my ship look like a starcraft 1 terran battlecrusier lol
Wow... Excellent. (VERY LONG REVIEW ALERT!)
For anybody like me who has played Battleships Forever, this is a dream come true. As a newborn Shellcore, your task is to help the fleet stave off extinction from the evil and mysterious Infection.
While the story isn't that special, the gameplay truly shines here. Your ship is composed of modules that do various things and improve your ship in varying ways. Want speed? Load her up with thrusters! Tank? Shell Boosts and Core Healers are the way to go.
How do you get these modules? Well, the traditional way, of course! You can buy and sell them with rewards from quests (tasks.) Oh yeah: YOU CAN ALSO SALVAGE PARTS FROM FALLEN ENEMIES. Let that sink in for a second.
The salvaging process is simple: If you're lucky, an enemy piece will fall from a destroyed ship. Tow it home to a yard, and staple it to your ever growing ship, or sell it to get other parts. My one complaint is that unless you've seen a sprite before, you can't really tell what it is you're getting. To make things worse, you can only take one part from a sector. If you return, the other part has vanished (although if you're lucky, they can be at the border and you can still take it.) Nevertheless, I want to know what it is I'm taking home with me. If I order food from a drive through, I get what I want. Give us the ability to pick and choose.
A few suggestions for Episode 2 (watch the ads enough for details! Its actually fun to make the guy suffer!)
The quick command bar at the bottom is smart and intuitive, but once you go into a fight, you lose that. The squares aren't labelled well enough, and with a constantly changing sort of parts, it can get difficult to find the "get me the hell out of here" button. If we could sort the bar WITHOUT changing out our parts, that would solve it.
The deadzones are much too numerous, revealing that the map is a narrow path between each haven, rather than a true open world RPG. Lower the number of them, or at least find a method to make them navigable.
The biggest complaint is commanding allies in battle. You are under attack from multiple opponents at once! You can't SHIFT-CLICK + DRAG to control them. I suggest a Dragon Age Origins route here, allowing us to pause but still command our allies. In fact, a pause button asides from the option screen would do wonders.
A sort of dream scenario would be an online arena, allowing two or four players to duke it out in a skirmish. Weight rules would have to be imposed (so we don't have two battlecore ships vs. two ships with one bullet turret.)
I can definitely see a remarkable series coming out of this, and while the game itself is good, there are a few kinks that detract from the overall experience.
A little suggestion: Let us change the colors of some parts on our ship, perhaps?
In conclusion, this is a game I would gladly fork over my dough to play. Heck, it could be a full on MMO and so long as the graphics were improved, I may even pay a small monthly fee to play with others!
Folks: Play. This. Game, and be sure to support this guy!
One of the few online games...
One of the few online games that I could honestly say I'd pay money for. Really loved the way you could customize your ship with enemy parts and especially that you could add them pretty much however you liked, resulting in some very interesting and personal Ship designs. The game play was also solid and the Graphics was very appealing.
Seriously, this is an excellent piece of work. I hope to see a second.
...
This game was really fun. I liked how you could upgrade your ship with pieces of other ships. Hope to see the next one soon.
If anyone is having trouble with the phat lewt medal try going to the dead zone directly below haven 3. There is a large ship that will show up and he drops some really good weapons. It may take a few tries to get the item though. Also watch your health as just being in the zone drains it.
