OK. This is not a great RPG. Not even a particularly good one. But despite all its flaws, it gets the core loop right, which separates it from utter disasters like Broken Roads. Get quest, fight, loot, upgrade equipment, gain new abilities - it works. And, for a short game of about 20 hors, this can be enough. Now, I do need to enumerate what's not quite right here: * First thing you'll note is that camera controls are sometimes wonky. I'm not exactly sure what IS wrong, but from time to time, you'll find that rotating the camera does not what you think it should * Graphics are too noisy, making them hard on the eyes. The planets with rain are especially bad - I nearly dropped the game on Sjo, because it was so hard to look at. * Combat is way too easy, there is absolutely no tactic to it. Enemies are all the same, and there are no bosses to speak of. The main tactic is to get as many critical hits as possible: critical damage so far outpaces normal damage it's not even funny, you can one-shot most enemies (and in early game, they can one-shot you). There are no covers. * Space combat is even worse. Fortunately, it is not necessary: I only fough one battle, and only because I didn't want to avoid it. * The game innundates you with loot, most of which is useless, but does not provide enough filters in UI to quickly dispose of unwanted items (at about mid-game, all your characters will probably be equipped with Legendary weapons, but there is no way to sell/deconstruct all common/uncommon/rare weapons automatically) * The writing is adequate, but not interesting
I like the setting, the Mass Effect vibes...but the game is too damn easy. Just raise Intelligence to 10 with all of the characters (PC and companions), make every character specialize in one or two "social" skills and in one or two (two combat skills aren't needed, actually, it's just the overabundance of skill points with 10 Int made me think where to put those skill points as everyone in my party had 100 in their specialized skills by lvl 30 - well, not by lvl 30, more like by lvls 20-25. - redacted. By the 30th lvl all of them had either Luck maxed out, or some second weapon skill nearly maxed out (and I believe I'm not halfway through the game, it's just that "social" skills get you level ups real quick). Putting those not needed skill points into Luck is the only smart way I see...but what if Luck, too, is already maxed? This is the what I experience with some of my companions. There's no profit in levelling up other social skills, as those are already covered by other teammates, and levelling up their other combat skills...it's just not needed. Also, FPS in this game is a mess. At least for me. Constantly changing, ranges between 100+ to 10. I don't know how this can happen with such graphics...that are bad, but I don't mind it. And the camera. It's awful. Overall, I don't know if I'd recommend this game or not. This is one of examples that Steam needs a "neutral" review option.
Noticeably indie. Built with love. Lots of lore and reading. Lots of jank and unbalanced gameplay. Great map/world visuals. Fun story and some fun dialogue. Map designs are cute but feel really limited. Low interaction apart from looting. Perception skills only get used about 4-5 times in total. Slogging around across maps gets pretty boring and annoying. Game balance is off. Stack intelligence and ascend to godhood after the first planet or two. There's no reason to not build that way. Perks only amplify it. Stats are easy to distribute and min/max across 4 teammates which trivialises the game. There's also absolutely no reason to not min/max skills apart from Luck (but as the last skill to improve). It's fun to feel like a living god but it also prevents any challenge. I didn't use melee once. Pistols are not worth it either. Carbines & rifles are enough. I think only one teammate has a unique perk or trait in the entire game (apart from robot companions) and it is not used or relevant at all. Since all teammates are essentially a blank slate and have identical perks, there's no reason to swap up the roster at all. Engine lags out and sometimes feels like there's a memory leak. Combat feels particularly janky. Combat jank encourages min/max builds to make combat finish faster in a self-defeating way. I mean combat feels like a laggy chore rather than a thrill. Falls into the trap of most CRPGs where once you're done with an NPC you'll never need to engage with them again. Just make them uninteractable (like most of the NPCs end up being). Overall I like this game. It's flawed but that's because it's hard to do this solo. Ending(s) are ok and at least one implies a sequel or follow up. 6/10 with soul. Good concepts but undercooked.
Sector Unknown is an indie, turn-based sci-fi RPG that deliberately channels the design ethos of late-1990s computer role-playing games: systemic depth over spectacle, mechanical transparency over cinematic excess, and player agency as the primary driver of narrative momentum. The game drops you onto a remote, underdeveloped planet after a catastrophic event derails your journey. Civilization exists, but barely. Instead of a cleanly defined galactic empire or polished sci-fi metropolis, you get fractured settlements, power vacuums, rival factions, and environmental scarcity. The tone is harsh, pragmatic, and frequently cynical. World-building is text-heavy and lore-dense. Conversations, item descriptions, and faction interactions carry much of the narrative load. If you prefer environmental storytelling through visuals alone, this won’t satisfy you. If you appreciate layered political tension and morally ambiguous power structures, there’s substance here. Combat is fully turn-based, using action points. Positioning, cover, weapon range, and status effects all matter. There is no “cinematic flair” masking the math — the underlying systems are exposed and often unforgiving. Encounters can be punishing, especially early on. Poor positioning or suboptimal builds will be punished decisively. The game does not scale difficulty to protect experimentation. This creates meaningful tension but also spikes in frustration. Combat pacing is methodical rather than explosive. If you enjoy thinking several turns ahead, it works well. If you expect dynamic, XCOM-style spectacle, it may feel static. Unlike many modern RPGs where dialogue checks are flavor additions, here they meaningfully restructure content access. That design choice significantly enhances replayability. Players new to old-school RPG design may find it opaque. Veterans will likely appreciate the trust placed in their strategic thinking. Sector Unknown is not trying to compete with blockbuster RPGs. It deliberately rejects cinematic polish in favor of mechanical depth and systemic consequence. Its appeal is highly specific: players who value build experimentation, faction politics, and tactical rigor will find substantial value. 7/10 DISASTER | BAD | MEDIOCRE | OKAY | GOOD | GREAT |AMAZING| MASTERPIECE Reviewed on: Win11 Home 64-bit, Intel i5-11600K, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB PRIME, 32GB DDR4-3600 RAM, 2 x Kingston NV1 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD, Internet Broadband 1000/1000 Mbit If you like this review, then please consider giving it a thumbs up.
