TL;DR - If you're willing to read and you know what 'alpha' means, the game can be a lot of fun. Responsive developers meaning issues get fixed. Valheim in Space style graphics. Price point is debatable, but the gameplay is solid. Think of it as an investment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With the bit for all those with short attention spans out of the way, lets talk about what Rank: Warmaster, where it is and where it's going. This review being for Alpha version 0.8.11.3676, beware there are dragons afoot! ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☑ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs The nitty gritty: This being an alpha, I bet you're wondering how bad the bugs are. Well, they're there, and I'm not gonna deny it. They're usually *not* game breaking bugs, but there are definite annoyances. I haven't encountered any CTD's that I wasn't actually trying to caus...

Story
When civil war between the Central Earth Government and a collective council of corporate interests suddenly erupts, Earth's Defense Grid is compromised in the chaos. With all ships marked as hostile by the grid, Earth has been fully isolated from the rest of the solar system.
You take on the role of a corporate settler who has just been stranded on Mars. Trapped in an underground shelter, your only assets are a Builder Bot, a handful of construction resources, and an instructional contingency AI named Ares.
From these lowly origins you must first build a city, and then assemble a fleet of remote controlled warships to secure territory and advance your technology. Be quick about it, too, because you aren't the only one out here. Every other major corporation launched its own settlers to escape the devastation, and soon you'll find that there's just not enough solar system to go around.

I was able to instantly jump from setting up more turrets at my main base settlement to joining in on a battle a small scout fleet I had sent out a ways away got themselves into. (And we all died because the enemy AI team had better weapons because I was spending too much time building turrets. Yeah this game doesn't let you off easy.) The gameplay looks easily addicting. The tutorial alone had me take a small fleet of ships and engage an enemy squadron. It turned out that in my fleet was a couple of repair ships t...
