Lightspeed Frontier

*** Note: Early access review, game was just released. I will continue to update this. Am I really the first person to review this? Wow, what an honor and a responsability and a nice oppertunity for dev interaction! Initial Impressions: I really like this game. The building system is already quite tight and I really enjoy this sort of thing. It reminds me of a cross between Shores of Hazeron's building system, Minecraft and Kerbal Space Program in terms of construction with some Space Engineers thrown in and Privateer or Freelancer in the gameplay. The controls are pretty intuitive, though the camera angle stuff vexes me on occasion but that is something *I* need to learn. The module system is great, I was able to make a nice ship design right from the start. If you begin with the tutorial it's pretty important to scavenge the heck out of the pile around you. Controls: Decent Graphics: Decent Music: ... I feel like I've heard it before, but I can't tell. Humor: I enjoy the game's s...

This game is like Avorion, except that there's barely any content, the gameplay is frustrating, and its generally terrible. Some examples: - The first two hours of the game consists solely of warping to "?" markers in space, dragging modules from their wreck to your ship (one by one! ), then warping to a station to reset your ship and thereby sell the modules for money ("wex"). Early combat is impossible as you can't afford any decent ship and don't have any good weapons unlocked. - Even after you get a few weapons, you can't use 90% of the ship designs as you have to wander the galaxy unlocking every single part they use before you can use them. Finding the parts is random. So you're stuck on low-tier designs. I had 20 Wex but couldn't pilot anything larger than a destroyer (that costs ~2 Wex) as I was not having any luck getting modules to drop. Why on earth would stations refuse to sell you their merchandise until you already have one? The entire point of a shop is to sell you what...

Interesting game, love the building elements and how you purchase items then drag them over to your ship, very neat idea. Not sure about the missions, every time I follow up on a mission I get killed and have to start over. The interface and how you view your ship and use the mouse to fix view at the sides for broadside shooting is a great feature, very fluid and works so well. Only played for a short time but had fun indeed. Its not the same as the building in Space engineers or other games that use blocks that stick together, it seems a lot faster to build ships and very very simple, again works very well indeed. Looking forward to seeing what they come up with next, this is a nice little game

Good Graphics! Very fun to Play. A bit of a learning curve. I recomend it just for the Eye Candy, if nothing else.

Lego's in space... With guns... what more could you ask for? Your childhood dreams become a reality with this game. The gameplay is very well made and will only improve. The camera mechanic's are great for dogfighting/brodsiding other ships and enemies. This game keeps you entertained by trying to constantly make your ship better, faster, and stronger. You go from a small trade/fighter vessel to a dreadnought and you can feel the power flowing through it And that's not the end if it. You can be a trader,merc,transport you decide. Go from being a small freighter to the deathstar... the choice is yours. Just don't die. Also, the dev's are extremely active with this games small community helping people out and just being awesome. They take idea's and make them into a reality. Fixing bugs as fast as they can. Even adding your creations to the game as AI. And yes... lots of memes... 10/10 IGN

very boring game, the npcs in starter areas are overpowered and do too much damage to your ship waaaayyy too fast to have even a chance. the stock market system takes even more fun out of the game as one can go from 0.0025 wex to hundreds of thousands in just a few minutes of starting a new game. all in all the whole game needs some major re-balancing.

I'm sorry, but there isnt anything interesting and no multiplayer.

Very good and addicting, there's plenty of stuff to do, it's very simple yet very fun! The devs are constantly working to build this game, and they answer very quickly when you report a bug or a suggestion!

Cool game in the future, what prevents it from being a black game at the moment are its controls, the controls are horrible, the camera is very bad, as a player I should not worry about turning my ship, just going to the sides up And down and shoot, the game is too expensive to have these confusing controls, and descontroled ship on space, and the bad camera, I waiting developer fix it.

A hobby project by a sad collection of dimwits who have about zero commitment and an even worse level of motivation, looking to con people into buying their "game" so they can have a little more pizza money. Avoid this game like Ebola, it's never a good idea to support worthless fools like this bunch.
