Parted with my cash to support the devs, it’s very wary but certainly a diamond in the rough. Great potential 🍺

I decided to invest into early access for this game because the detail in building grabbed my attention. I’d played homeworld before which got boring real quick. So, I decided to give RTS space battle genre another go. Why not with a game that offering you lots of building customization. Right now of as Dev Build 9.5, the Campaign and Multiplayer is not available. The button are disabled. The option to play Player vs CPU. Once you go in here you get plethora of options. I love options in games. You pick to play one of three factions: Federation, Pirate or the ORGA. Federation and Pirates seems self-explanatory, but ORGA I don’t know. You choose the following in difficulty: Beginner, Novice, Veteran, Elite or Insane. You chose the following in playstyle: Defensive, Balanced, Aggressive. When you are choosing difficulty and playstyle this characterizes the CPU player. You can form teams. There are a total of six slot where you take the first of six slot leaving five left for other CPU’s. You can team up with other CPU’s taking on other CPU’s. Great for solo (or casual) players. Next you select an icon or decal and two colors for your banner. The colors show up on your warships uniquely identifying you on the field of play. Keep in mind in early access teaming up isn’t available yet. There’s more options with the following labels each with their own value settings: Game Settings, Game Preset, Game Speed, Starting Resources, Resource Amount, Resource Visibility, Crew Quarter Cap, Wreck Decay Time, Challenges, Eclipse Speed, Wrecks Contain Research, Starting Position, Teams, Kill Rewards, No Attack Period, Victory Condition and Environmental Events. This is just a treasure chest of customization. Basically, play the game you want to play! Keep in mind this is early access, so many of these options are disabled or not available. You’ll pretty much play it as is. There is also a bar graph on the bottom labeled Estimated performance requirements. The fuller the bar, the more requirements. Right now, my rig is a dinosaur running nVidia 1080Ti. It’s doing good so far. There are 16 game maps of space to chose from and play. 9 of 16 maps are ready to go in Early Access. Playing the game I’d had start all over a few times. For me there is a learning curve. Each time I started fresh I adapted to not repeating mistakes. Some things to keep mind. You start out with a central command unit which your base. You must build modules. Attach these modules to your command center. The modules are various functions such as research, power generation, weapons and etc. Your command center starts of with 21 module slots 3 on each side and 9 more on the bottom. Don’t get stuck thinking linear. You must think dimensionally (Up, Down, Left, Right, Forward, Backward) You’ll want to extend from those 12 points and attach additional attachment point or hardpoints so that modules can be added to your base giving your base more and additional capability. If you don’t extend, then have no more room. No more room mean you can’t build other important modules and continue the game. Don’t build yourself into a corner. It’s just a matter of time before your opponents will surpass you in production, research and take you out. I think there may be other ship options that leverage the command center’s burden, but that takes research and puts you going into mid game. What you do early in the game impacts your ability to 4X further in the game. You can get some wacky crazy looking designs that look nothing like science fiction television shows and theatrical movie starships as seen in Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek or Star Wars. It’s more like a NASA ISS design. You have a center piece. Attach an extender. Maybe attach another extender to the first extender. Now attach modules to those extenders. If you want to build cool designs, it may be possible, but I think you won’t have time. Once the game starts, your enemy is preparing to come after you. If you’re trying figure out how to build a sharp looking base, you ain’t playing the game. You must pay attention to the amount of energy you use. As you expand your command center with more modules playing various roles they consume energy. You run out of energy then no capability for you to do anything. Solar panels must be oriented toward a sun otherwise it’s just a useless module. Research quickly your power production options beyond solar. The battle scenes are cool. For starts its mostly little ships. The CPU pirates send their marauders fire a few shots. They demand tribute. You give them the middle finger and shoot them down. That’s if you managed a balance of energy, resource gathering, resource storage, research to greater energy and weapons. Practice playing the game, you can play in sandbox mode, which allows you play the game without pressure. Sandbox is available in early access. I like the game. I like where it’s going. So for me, it’s a thumbs up. Check it out. Also check out my screenshots on my profile (as opposed to images on the dashboard). I provide additional details on the game. It's public.

TL:DR The vision from the devs is here, and basic, core mechanics are in place and functional. Game is playable and has the potential to grow into something the space games market is missing. If you want to support modders turned game dev, then buy it. if you're on the fence, hold off for now. I'll break this review up into 3 parts, performance, gameplay loop, and final thoughts. 1. Performance System specs 7800X3D, 3080 10GB edition, 32gb DDR5 RAM, 2560x1440 resolution. In my sessions early game performance is acceptable, high settings w/ TSAA i was getting 120FPS to start. as a game progresses however frames start to drop, eventually getting as low as 22 FPS is mid-large battles. performance dropoff started to have a noticable affect for me once I was a decent way into the mid game, and for large battles in end game, I had to just accept it would be a bit of a slideshow. Strangely enough, turning all the settings to low seems to have little to no impact on performance. i suspect this is an optimization issue rather then hardware, as both CPU and GPU had plenty of headroom for additional load. seems to be tied to the ingame resource "crew", which essentially is your cap for how many ships / how large of a ship you can build. 2. Gameplay Loop Gameplay loop right now is bare-bones. you vs 1 AI. There are about 6 or so maps to play on, but the larger maps don't flow well given the limit of a single opponent. you can choose to fight pirates, or federation, each has their own line or ships (federation is a mirror of the player faction). there are two types of ships you build, pre-fabricated ones, from a small & large dock, or customizable "capital ships" such as the mother-ship you start with. capital ships are by far the stronger of the two, pre-fab ones are almost a waste of resources....almost. Basic tool tips are in place, such as what a component/weapon does. fine details for things are missing however, like what the ROF is between a Gatling turret or a kinetic one, or what types of weapons bypass your shields. This lack of detail can become rather painful when you start building the customized capital ships, as you can't tell at a glance which ship parts are damaged or actively being shot. Early game is simple, mine, mine, mine. here you will likely decide how you want to move forward with the match, funneling resources into your mothership for a mobile fortress, or a more traditional route, building it more stationary and producing pre-fab ships from the small/large docs and maybe a small capital ship. having done both the balance seems much more in favor of the mobile fortress, but you can use pre-fab ships if you focus on the large dock ones. Mid-game, esp the latter half, is where the game starts to lose steam. you either can't field a large fleet due to limitations of the "crew" resource, or you start the game with this setting higher and lose out on FPS in fights. The AI is also rudimentary, no flanking, and no targeting weak points. To be honest, I struggled to think would I would put for end game. as it stands, there isn't really an "end game" yet, unless you decide to draw out a game or play total defense. the longer a match goes the larger the waves of enemies traveling the same, straight line to your base. if your into the "tower defense" style play then have at it, lots of that here. if your hoping for more....RTS, its not here yet. 3. Final Thoughts as mentioned in the TL:DR its bare-bones, but whats here works....for the most part. there are bugs, and some things simply don't work they way you would think or hope. the AI is functional, if not simple, and their isn't much to do as of yet. Having said that however, the creativity potential on offer here for building a "mega ship" is awesome, and I've no doubt will only get better as development continues. I would say though, $30 for what is available at launch is....steep, but personally, I'm happy to support modders that take the risk to make a game people want, rather then hoping someone else will.

I don't understand all the negative reviews on the current state of the game. Most of the negative points made were literally listed in the Early Access description, for the world to see. Thus far though, I give a thumbs up. Why? I wanted a true Homeworld vibe. This game absolutely delivers in the feel and the vibe of my beloved serious. Obviously, it's not complete, and missing many things, and a few bugs are present, as typical of most Early Access phase games. And, there will need to be a bit more polish on various elements as well. Homeworld 3 itself was more polished in many ways, but the game play gave me such a watered down feel that I barely had the motivation to complete it. Its story/campaign was also a bit lack luster. I hope Complex Team can deliver on their campaign, once that is out. Keep up the good work!

not what i had in mind but still interesting i thought this might be more like an open universe sandbox but it's basically an RTS game with different maps not my cup of tea also kinda expensive for an Early Access Game
