Reviews for "Xenospace: Colony"

fantastic work

only it needs the gameplay balance tweaked a bit --- too many enemies can totally swarm you and then you don't die -- kind of too easy and too hard at the same time... I guess it's the pace and volume of enemies ratio to health needs tweaking... otherwise no complaints.. awesome work!

umm yeah!

So it had much explosions alien scum and some weapons which were unlocked in about a second. You dont really understand whats going on if there are only explosions through those extras you pick up + the enemies... the enemies were MUCH too strong and TOO FAST! at the end they one hitted me! i stopped for not even a second to shoot at them and i was instantly dead! And its not even the worst that you made them too strong, you also made the player slower when he got hit, which was ALL the time!

It had some good graphics and action, but seriously: your dead in a second if they hit you...!

nice

nice game just like the last tho the main problem is with being swamped.. when not swamped its too easy to stay alive but when u are ur very restricted and u die in seconds.. maybe add in a speed boost ability or a safe zone u could use just to get ur bearings.. due to most these weapons being only usable at range u cannot kill the aliens at close range.. and the weapons u have for close range cannot kill enuff aliens fast enuff before u die.. so id suggest to have sections of the map alien free and have a process of unlocking these areas.. after unlocking them they can become infested.
having this will allow u to get a little room between u and them to kill em

Not to bad

It's a good idea and a good game, the graphics look great, the gameplay is smooth and I can find no glitches, it is a game which always keeps me moving.

But then that is half the problem, I find that with these sort of "swarm" games it is best to try and make counter-methods to stop a player camping one spot. Yours seemed to be the spiders. However this made the gameplay very unenjoyable and frustrating after a while. The spiders spawn directly in your position and at a constant rate making it impossible to stand still for even a second. Add this to the ridiculous number of enemies coming already and it essentially makes the game "shoot and run for 2 mintues!"

If you took down their spawn time a little (on everything) and stopped the spiders spawning on top of your head it could curve some frustration. Upon testing in the defence games it is MUCH easier there to hold a position however you still have the spiders constantly upon you.

Still a pleasing game but I don't think I would go for a second play with it unlike similar shooter games.

needs improvement

this isnt bad, its just the controls are awful. arrow keys arent that good, cant aim, you pretty have to be in front of them to kill them. u cant run n shoot them at the same time wich isnt helpful. so improve the controls.
