Reviews for Aetherpunk 1.1

Too long

To sum it up, its too long. I played this for ages, it never really got any harder. I gave up around wave 27 or so out of sheer boredom. I never even really came close to dying. Does it have an end?

The music, weapons and 'feel' of the game is all very steampunk.

I found some serious inbalance in the turrets, the most expensive turret is useless, it fires so slowly that it rarely hits and only 1 shots the weakest of enemies, the cheapest turret is vastly superior to it.

So it needs to end sooner (or just end if it does not) and the difficulty curve needs to ramp up way faster.

Pretty good

A few glitches here and there, but otherwise terrific. The only thing I didn't really like was how you have to lose aether and remake your weapons after you die.

Very nice game

The game is really good, the repair system is nice, the enemies are good, the music gets a bit annoying since it just loops over and over, the graphics style fits it, it does have some random glitches that can kill you like enemies randomly walking over walls, weapons randomly changing (I had the disintegrator and after a few reloads started shooting like the basic pistol which led me to the game over screen). It just needs some patching and it'll be a great game.

Agreed with those previous to me.

Also, can we get a collective thumbs up for the music loop? It's the reason that when my hotkeys messed up and I died I was sad because I realized I didn't get to play anymore.

Work of art

A very good game. The ending leaves something to be desired, since you are fated to die, but I do enjoy how you change the fate of Earth depending on how well you did. My personal favorites are when you discourage the invasion and when the aliens leave a monument to honor your battle.
It does get a tad easy once you have the best weapons, but thats not much to complain about.
Overall its a challenging game and a rather fun one at that, and Ill remember it for quite a long time to come.

Protip for people struggling:
Save your money until you can buy the Coil Pistol. After that, dont spend any cash at all until you have 2k. At that point, purchase the Impaler turret. Its a very useful turret and I personally like it better than the Hellburner. After buying the turret, save up another 2k for the Hedgehog Gun. Your accuracy drops considerably, but the damage output is worth it. Using a combination of your Hedgehog Gun and Impaler, a final 4k should be amassed for the Hellstorm Gun. At this point, youre pretty much unstoppable and can spend the cash you get and anything you want to.
