Hyperspace Delivery Service

SUMMARY: A must-buy retro space roguelike adventure composed of multiple retro minigames - from simple puzzles to FPS to space battles. Not only clever in its old-school approach, but a grand example of minimalism of gameplay AND combining different games together. The result is fun, surprisingly deep, and smart. Plus the dev is responsive to adding new ideas. Perfect for fans of retrogames, the DOS era, and survival adventures. Hyperspace Delivery Service is a DOS game that never was. Hearkening back to the times when game developers realized you could merge genres together, it takes the idea all the way to give you a Roguelike space adventure that feels like an actual adventure - one moment you're trading with aliens, next moment battling pirates, and then you ram through a space warp to speed your journey. Your goal is to cross the galaxy to make a delivery of valuable cargo. On the way you'll trade, take missions, manage supplies and crew, battle, and try to survive. Who sa...

I took a chance with this title. But. Just wow. There is a ton of feel to games of the early 90s here. A good cross section of resource management, early 90s fps and a definite nod to games like Wing Commander. The soundtrack really ties it all together (Hey Zotnip, can I get a copy of that?) and the cutscenes were so, so familiar in feel. This isn't a full blown 100 hour game but if you were a fan of early 90s games, play this. Even for a few hours it is worth the nostalgia. Can't wait to progress further into the universe.

I love it!!! Worthy of many classic games from Wolfenstien to other early computer games, but powered by a modern computer. Kind of "The Oregon Trail in Space" but with cool mini games and tips of the hats to various scifi shows, notably Star Trek but not limited by such. I'd give this 8 out of 10 but Indie gets +1 bonus. Edit - had mouse issue - developer fixed it overnight! Added 1 to score after testing. IMO expand - as promised - to add more characters, planets, content and it'll be a true 9 or 10 indie gem for low price/nostalgia gaming with difficulty from casual to challenging.

Wow, this looked great! It's just Oregon Trail in space. Not for me. Maybe it's for you.

It's Oregon Trail in Space. If you like Oregon Trail, you'll like this. If you don't like Oregon Trail, then you probably won't like this. Epstein didn't kill himself.

Oregon Trail but in space. That's not a bad thing! I'm just giving the most effecient description.

This is a masterpiece in the making. Oregon Trail+Wing Commander+Blake Stone!! Buy it now!!!!!

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. This is basically a sci-fi Oregon Trail. Your ship is tasked with delivering a parcel to the most remote planet in the galaxy. You'll stop at 20-ish planets along the way, while surviving random encounters and events. During the journey, you'll have to juggle the health of your crew and ship, maintain supplies and earn enough credits to meet immediate expenses. The game isn't particularly deep. Judging from my current pace, you can complete a run in a few evenings. If you're looking for bite-sized fun, though, then this is great. There are quick mini-games that you can complete during the journey to breakup the gameplay. The game has an awesome cheesy retro feel to it, and reminds me of other sci-fi games from the 80s and 90s like Sundog, Space Quest and Star Control. If you enjoyed any of those games, you'll feel right at home with this game.

Just bought it, first little bit in and I am already hooked. WOW. Like others have said this reminds me of early DOS space games, like the original "Master of Orion" and it's art and gameplay that drew me in way back in 1993 on my old 386. The game music is awesome, please make the soundtrack available as a DLC! I love it. In the world of too much eye candy with games today, this hits the spot for some good old nostalgia and classic game feel. Well Done! Keep it up!

Very much worth the asking price. The graphics are a very nice mix of retro styles, sort of like DOS mixed with SNES and really sell the mood of the game along with the soundtrack. Plays like a crossover of Organ Trail (or perhaps more fittingly its sci fi hommage Orion Trail) and Bunker Punks. Each segment is rather simple but the game does a good job of tying everything together and its surprisingly immersive considering the retro look. Seems like this game is a labour of love, all the sprites and backgrounds look great and it really feels like an old game with modern controls. In the future i would hope to see even more depth added, as i feel in its current state the game will get boring after a few playthroughs, maybe mod support would be the answer to that problem. For under 9 Euro and Early Access this is already a product I'm satisfied with though as the base game works well already.
