Ghostship Aftermath

<edit - Update for release 1.5. I give up, I don't think Ghostship Aftermath can be fixed to a playable state. There are more issues being introduced than fixed. I'm actually not certain that any of the issues I've logged have been addressed with anything other than condescenion or censor (screenshots of deleted threads below). This game is extraordinarily broken both technically and gameplay-wise Avoid. /edit> <edit - response to developers comments: I'm glad you're still taking the time to respond, not a lot of developers do. However you must remember I'm not a developer on Ghostship Aftermath and that I have no vested interest in seeing it succeed. I have no desire to see it fail either - I do like the idea and want to play it. Pushing work out to the community is not going to garner the responses you'd like because you're going to be asked why - having paid for a product - must we now help fix it? Consider your comment "confirm any Current issues in your review". That's a...

The game could have been good for an indie release lots of potential but it was quickly hindered when encountering enemies :( they suck and the AI sucks both need MAJOR work maybe even would been better left out of the game completely. The game is riddled with bugs, glitches, poor audio, lack of options, and things that just plain dont make sense. ~Update on patch 1.2 This has been the most frustration biggest pile of ♥♥♥♥ game iv ever had the misfortune of wasting my time, money and hope on. For real from the opening horrible audio dialog from your copilot to the non stop glitches getting stuck on everything. The textures are horrible the lighting is garbage, the menu and options are next to non existent. Seriously its as if the devs dont even play real games to have some real inspiration from and compare to the standered we as gamers expect in 2014. Last time i was this let down and ticked off was WarZ we all remember that game and the road it went down. Iv been patient ...

UPDATE: I played the game again and to see if there were any changes and was killed twice in utterly nonsense ways. Once by a noclipping stiffy mode zombie and another time because aliens and zombies dropped through a solid ceiling to land on top of me and swarmed me Pros: *Solid Atmosphere The sounds of metal creaking and the quiet breathing of your character as he runs is very intense and can give you a deep sense of immersion when nothing else is going on. You find yourself checking corners and worrying when the next enemy will pop up. Sounds will echo throughout the ship and have you looking around wondering what could possibly be doing that. Sometimes the ship will make no sounds and the silence itself then becomes eerie. Very well done. *Innovative Design The whole "No playthrough is the same" concept is really really cool. My first playthrough the ship's AI was very helpful and gave me weapons, warnings, and helped me detect enemies. My second playthrough the ship's AI was d...

I think its about time we get this out of the way off my review list. Ghostship Aftermath is one of the better indie horror titles of this year. It even took me back a bit with the way the game feels from other games such as system shock 2. Now I understand that many people don't recommend this game due to higher expections or *too much money* or not finished. So really quickly, I wanna get the pro's and con's out of the way before I write a long paragraph. Pros: A good horror elemnt, aka The fear of the unknown. A wide range of weapons. It is different each playthrough. A huge open world ship *Though the missions kinda make it hard to roam.* A good nostalgia factor of both Dead Space and System shock 2. VERY innovative, which is what helps with the horror. All the features listen on the store page, are actually in the game, whether or not it's buggy, it's still listed. Cons: Poor AI Unoptimised Poor voice acting *I know it's one guy but eh, Im greedy.* Average story. So heres whe...

*NOTE NOT A FINAL REVIEW, Since patches are coming to fix up the game. This review is for what it is right now. Devs are patching up and refining the game and are taking notes at the complaints itself. The only reason I thumbed this game down was for those issues that are in the game currently, The reason I thumbed this game up now is because the dev is taking his work seriously, listening to the community and actually making these fixes to make his game better. Which is the best thing a game dev can do. So after speaking/playing with the dev who is very active with the community and actually playing the game for a good amount of hours I got a better understanding where the devs are getting at in the game. This is a hardcore survival horror that isn't meant to be finished in a single night and also meant to be a really hard game since the devs goal is to give you the an immersive survival gameplay on a ship with changing enemies, a story that changes up a bit with random events . The...

I have been playing this game alot, and can highly reccomend it. The Developer is very talented and very serious about his work, he listens and will do what is needed to grasp the attention from the community, I can definely say this is a game you wanna have and also a developer you wanna keep tabs on.

[JUST NOTE THIS REVIEW IS TO DO ON RELEASE BEFORE ANY FORM OF PATCHES HAVE COME THROUGH.] All right so I've played this to the point that I died. Watched a few hours worth of gameplay and so forth. So I'm going to start with this. If you enjoy a Survival Horror game that can take up to ten hours to complete one of the many different stories (Note: The game starts you off differently each time, you might have a gun, you might not have a gun. Also gives you different objectives) and you have to maintain ammo usage and a lot of the time, run for your life. You can piss off the AI protagonist that's telling you what to do. You only have a specific amount of light and oxygen to maintain. Any how to the pros and the cons. Pros: - Immersive Environment and Gameplay - Keeps you on edge - AI (although buggy) is unique to the point that even the guy who coded it still can't judge the AI movement - Not overly graphical intense - Doesn't hold your hand - Different to the horror genre - Riddl...

amazing, immersive, well done, some things need fixing and more content might be needed, but overall its a very solid game, very spooky

Re-edited review people!!! After that monster sized update.... Game works! 9/10 Turn around the corner, gun ready, full health, lights on and.... BAM!! No one.... lol But every corner feels scary. there haven't been many games since Deadspace that is legit SCARY! The atmosphere is Great. Amazing... But the rounding of the edges still needs to happen sometime. There is still the odd issues here and there popping up, but the odd ones is the controls? Im not sure if there is other controls that are hidden, but some of my F keys do weird things. Like instant spawn a gun? goto checkpoint? even turning my shaders off. Might just be an AMD issue, but if you don't press those keys, which aren't used anyways the game runs great. Final verdict = Let's see what a patch or 2 can do to make it a 10/10 game like it should be.

i couldn't find a gun and i nearly shit myself even though i only hallucinated 10/10
