Astro Prospector is what I like to call an “active-incremental-game”. The base mechanics works like an incremental game, gaining resources, updating a skill tree, and passively increasing numbers, to help with progression. As examples, more time per run, more damage, new ways of attacks, etc. Astro Prospector has an incredible well designed progressing curve, the time it takes to gain resources feels fair! Not too easy and not too dragged out, the devs nailed that! For the active part: The game plays a lot like a bullet hell game. You control a small spaceship, destroy frozen coffee asteroids and space ships, send by an evil coffee monopoly to hold the liquid of the gods away from the people. Every level concludes with a more or less difficult boss encounter before you advanced to the next one. This part depends on your skill. I’m personally not the best with bullet-hell style gameplay, but beside the final boss you can outpower the fights eventually. The Story in these games doesn’t matter to much, but I’m glad that devs think of creative ideas, and Astro Prospector has one of my favourite hooks in the genre. You mission is to bring coffee back to the people and fight the evil SpaceCorp. Which wants to keep the coffee as a monopoly. Which is unacceptable, as a fellow caffeine addict, I am in support of easy accessibly coffee for the people, to help them survive another day! Really enjoyed my time with Astro Prospector and I can only recommend the game to anyone that enjoys seeing numbers go up, while being in active participant in the spectacle on the screen.
I hate this game... A lot... Like a lotta lot. So why am I recommending it? It's not what I expected when I bought a pack of incremental games. I was expecting, y'know... chill idle games. This isn't one of those. Instead it's one of those bullet hell games where you spend your entire time struggling to navigate between massive beams of death all around you. Or lot's of little beams. Or circles, or asteroids. You're trying to get resources to upgrade, there's a lot of upgrades, new weapons, power ups. You eventually get damn powerful. But even then... it's still really hard. The game occasionally insults you if you play badly, telling you to look at the screen. This is another thing I hate in games. Don't pull the piss out of me when I'm playing badly, I don't enjoy that. But.... I have to mark this as recommended... because I know a lot of people love these things, and I know I will be recommending this to friends who like this. It plays well, it does what it's supposed to, I only found a single bug. I won't be getting every achievement, because the last boss is absolutely horrifying. But I did manage to beat the boss, that's enough for me. The single bug I found, was that the game locks the cursor to the screen, even when you tell it to stop doing that. To unlock it, you have to relock it, then unlock it again. Not really a bug with the game itself. But pretty annoying for myself. If you play it, I hope you enjoy it more than I did. Thanks for reading, or skipping to the end. Have a lovely day. <3
Finally, some meaningful variety in the incremental game genre! So far we've had clickers and idlers which then spawned Survivor-like hybrids such as nodebuster... and Astro Prospector takes these but makes it a bona fide bullet hell game instead. Bullet... heck? Yeah, let me mention the difficulty real quick. You need to pay attention, this isn't a game that you can zone out to. I consider myself somewhat crap at bullet hell games, I can't beat a single Touhou game - and I found it high, but manageable. Later on you get real danmaku (one of the recurring bosses is outright called Kaguya) - including a danmaku that is literally just "F*CK YOU!!!" in bullets. Definitely a moment! For what its worth, your hitbox is tiny, so once the bullets start helling you'll often find yourself narrowly dodging stuff all the time. There are tools to clear the screen and you can upgrade your ship to be able to take a lot of hits - but still, you -will- have to dodge. I got stuck at a certain boss, some people got stuck at the final boss (which I found relatively easy); point is - skill is mandatory. No amount of upgrades will cruise you past incompetence. The upgrades themselves aren't too crazy, but they're not bog-standard either. There's enough tactical width to keep things varied - and all weapons bar the screen clearer fire automatically/situationally, so you can focus on dodging bullets and collecting loot. Oh, and collecting Flow Rings. That's a very interesting mechanic. A Flow Ring appears every few seconds (by default). They don't do much by themselves, but a lot of your upgrades give you mid-run bonuses for every ring. +2 base damage per ring, +3% to final loot multiplier, a layer of shield every X rings and so on. And that's what keeps the game, heh, flowing. Mixing dodging bullets, collecting stuff and going after rings like a 90s gaming mascot and there you go, all juices flowing at optimal levels. And should you beat the game, turns out there's a completely separate second game in here - "Endless Coffee", which takes upgrades from the base game and turns the whole thing into a roguelike. I'm not going to talk about it because it's a completely different thing - but it's also lovingly made, and an excellent place to continue playing after beating the main mode. What's that, completion stats? 56% beat the main game. That is an outstanding result, and it's also all I have to say. Enjoy! [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42922988/]Curator page
The game is genuinely fun, but one particular mechanic drags the whole experience down more than it should. The constantly draining coffee meter feels completely unnecessary to me. If it hits zero, the run just ends, no matter how well you’re doing. In a roguelike/roguelite, I want my skill to decide my fate, not an arbitrary timer that pushes me to play the way the game thinks I should. Having to restart over and over because the imaginary clock runs out, whether because I didn’t buy enough time upgrades, wasn’t strong enough to defeat enemies fast enough, or simply got unlucky with getting enough time while playing, just feels bad. It’s a single-player game, I’m not fighting for some leaderboard placement. The pressure doesn’t add excitement, it just adds frustration. TL;DR: The coffee meter is an unnecessary mechanic that actively harms the experience in my opinion. Also, getting through Sector 5, Zone 5 without losing a single hit point is downright diabolical. I don’t mind tough achievements, but this one is on a completely different level compared to everything else in the game. Definitely a “git gud” moment. But in the end, it’s still a somewhat short but enjoyable time.
