No Way Home

I absolutely love this game. So that makes the glitches encounter that more disheartening. I find this game absolutely rowing and I have put 20+ hours into it the first big one was on my first play through the missions just stopped halfway through the Golden cartridge mission and the only thing I got was the blessed Warr mission halfway through I could tell by the way, the story was going there was gonna be a new game plus which I was grateful for. So I just powered through and got a new game plus, I didn’t know that I’d already gotten all of the relics which I don’t understand that every chest is marked, but the relics are not. So on the next play through, I I was excited to see some of the stories with a different factions that was fun I appreciated that difficulty increase. But here’s the big one that’s probably gonna have me put this game down for a while after unlocking every star map and beating every relic boss I go to start my third attempt and when I restart it just puts me back in the same map again not from the beginning, but no indicator where the orbs are and when I tried to re-enter the final it said I needed 10 orbs to get in so I go back to the closest orb and I’m also locked out of that. So as far as I can tell, I am soft locked . Which is kind of frustrating. Because I got a call and by the time I went to slide it it already disappeared and when I went back, I couldn’t get it to pop up again. So I don’t what mission that was gonna be. This review is more for the developers since there is no support email to get some insight Like I said, I love love love this game is probably the best game I’ve ever played on my iPhone. It just seems a little Rushed.

I have only played the demo so far. There is some serious fun to be had here. Traveling, selling, crafting and upgrading with items bought or items found scrapping for repurposing can be done in this game. There are burnous areas tin the game where extra items can be earn. There are some very challenging areas that, after completion, offer some serious rewards. The protagonist and sidekick makes for a nice little duo, although some might find their act a bit mundane. Portal travel never gets old. the level design is is about the same as any game that utilizes a 2D labyrinthine level design. The story is simple and straight-to-the point; Cho is an Earthing entity who just wants to go home after an impending ship explosion forced and ship abort. There are a few gripes a player might experience however. First the controls mayn’t work well with their existing Appleware. The magic mouse, in particular is not the best suited for games and a player might need to switch to another mouse. Could be just me though. Secondly, there is a bug this the game that causes the player to completely lose control of the starship (controls d not respond no matter what the player does). Also, the fact the there is no cursor lock means that the player must constantly deal with having two cursors on-screen all the time, which is very jarring. If the last two issues are fix ed (controls loss and cursor lock) the game would be great to play. No game is perfect but this out be a solid 5 stars for me.

This game is super fun to play. Gunplay feels really satisfying and is generally well balanced, and the loot system is really fun to engage with. I had tons of fun exploring and looting enemy bases for gear and upgrade materials, and it was pretty easy to find strong enough loot to progress without having to backtrack along the way. The game progresses pretty quickly and I’d imagine you could probably get through the whole thing in 3-4 hours even in a blind playthrough. The relic bosses are tons of fun to fight… I just wish they were easier to find. I did run into a few things that I think should be fixed or rebalanced in an update. The relic weapons are pretty fun, but the melee ones and the Corrupter Cannon (why do your own bats attack you?) feel pretty underpowered compared to the rest of the pack. On the flip side, Brimstone is hilariously OP. A minion dying in front of a larger enemy will send explosive shrapnel into it, doing up to 50k dmg in some cases and one-shotting many of the game’s harder bosses even at low levels. I also ran into a bug in NG +2 where I wasn’t able to start over again and ended up soft locking my save. It would be interesting to see you guys add functionality for more NG cycles, even if it’s replaying the same stuff again. All that said, I really enjoyed my time with this game, and I’d recommend you give it a shot if you’re even a little interested in it. 5 dollars for the full game is nothing, and supports these amazing indie developers who clearly put their hearts into it. Final score: 9/10
