I played a few different pre release versions of this game, and while I am terrible at it, it is the most fun racing videogame I have ever played. The environment is just beautiful. There is a rain effect that will sometimes appear that is gorgeous. I struggle with the handling of the hovercraft, this isn't because the controls are bad or I think there is a flaw with the game. I actually think that it is very thematic to the universe. Your starting ship is fast but with very bad handling. As you continue to upgrade your ship it becomes easier and easier to get your craft to do what you want it to do. I am also generally very bad with real time games, almost all of my favorite games are turn or puzzle based.

About This Game

Fulfill smuggling contracts to receive credits and parts to upgrade the fully customizable hovercraft and be the fastest Smuggler on Dirahl. But spend wisely, as Smugglers must pay off a large debt to Garmuk before long, or else they're space dust.

There's a bunch of things I like about SmuggleCraft, the art, the color palette, both are great. The music is nice too. The controls and gameplay are kind or quirky, but not in a bad way: you control a very fast moving hovercraft, which is hard to tame. Overall, it's a solid arcade rouge like, with permadeath and crafting (you keep your upgrades after you die). You play a bunch of different missions (races, deliveries, towing, etc), which gives some variety to a game that is mostly about driving from one place to another on your hovercraft. Many people complain about the story not being good, but I love it. It's a black and white setting about an oppressive regime and a rebellion. You get to make "moral" choices, sidding with either camp, but it's not the strongest aspect of the game. Driving your hovercraft on beautiful lowpoly landscapes is.

No fullscreen option and there's an incredible graphical glitch which consumes the entire map with black void. I used the minimap to easily win races. This game is garbage, it's like something I would make.
SmuggleCraft has some great ideas, good core gameplay, and a really neat vibe that all somehow get wrapped up in an underwhelming package. It can be extremely satisfying and enjoyable at some times, and then just 5 minutes later you might be extremely annoyed at the fact that a little polish could've made everything so much better. [h1][b]THE GOOD[/b][/h1] The game has a super cool premise where you're a rogue space smuggler who places trust in nothing except your trusty hovercraft, freely bouncing between alliances as you do work for whoever pays the most so that you can pay your debts and keep bounty hunters off your trail. Delivering goods, towing equipment, chasing down targets, and taking part in illegal street races are all the order of the day. You can spend your cash and parts to craft new equipment for your hovercraft, making it faster and stronger along the way. There's branching storylines, multiple endings, and you can even choose to play the game as a roguelike with perma...
Smooth, almost relaxing game to play at first. I began to wonder if it was too easy, then it seems to start asking you to make interesting moral choices. At one point, I made the wrong choice and the game ended. I'll be spending more time with it, there seems to be more to this world. It did feel like it was sometimes too easy to lose track of your road and fall over the edge of the map. This isn't due to challenges controlling the vehicle at high speeds so much as just not being able to see what's over a hill, so it feels unfair/random. The punishment for losing a race hasn't been so harsh yet for it to be overly frustrating. Runs really nicely on Linux (Ubuntu LTS, GeForce GTX1070 8GB).
Pretty great game if you enjoy going fast and dismantling the oppressive government

A Lovely Racing Game With Smooth Controls And A Branching Story Path With Six Possible Endings, Each Of Which Have Depth No I Don't Know Why I'm Typing Like This It Just Sort Of Happened.
