Nimbatus - The Space Drone Constructor

I played this game a while back and came back to complete it. I have to say, this game had potential and still does, but it has been seemingly forgotten. Further more, the game (more specifically the survival mode) feels incomplete. Things aren't well balanced, there's barely a difficulty curve, many of the missions feel the same, and you are never really given enough stuff to do anything you want to do. Throughout my entire play though, the drone barely changed. The biggest change was when I realized that wireless resources is broken and just started leaving all my stuff at the Nimbatus. You can't really call the survival mode a rogue like. It is a rogue like in the same way Minecraft Hardcore is a rogue like. While I have only said negative stuff for this game, I have to stress that I truly enjoyed it and wish this game gets more attention from it devs.

I've wasted hundreds of hours on making ships in sandbox and it's still (kinda) fun. But it hasn't gotten an update in 5 years. D:

Controls are gimmicky, campaign is boring.

the online modes are pretty fun to build stupid contraptions in

Survival needs some serious work, similar to scrap mechanic it is an obvious afterthought. you dont get enough drone part, you never get a garage when you need it, and you inventory always ends up full of garbage you wont use there needs to be a way to sell parts and a way to fight rng so you dont get hit by the corp 4 times in a row and lose your run for no reason The red material is far too hard to get a hold of, the repairs get far too expensive far too quick, i dont see how i can get to galexy 10 when i have no resource canisters

If you liked Zachtronics games or other low-level automation games like Besiege, this is squarely within your tastes. Playing as the main classes of the game is a bit of an odd experience that doesn't seem to have decided what it wants to be, but if you like automation then just go ahead and play as the Programmer class. It's a fun experience.
