I mean, it’s a bit like FTL and a bit like Descent, but nothing like either of those games at the same time. Creator Stephen Wheadon describes it as: “It is a full 6 degrees of freedom shooter/stealth game that is a spiritual successor to classics like Descent. The player is assigned to escort a mobile base in a journey across space. A large fleet of warships is in pursuit, desperately searching for the base to prevent its escape.” And also this stuff: “The stealth gameplay allows for surprise attacks, evasion and hacking opportunities. Everything is 100% destructible, including large bases (which explode in a satisfying chain reaction of detonations).”
There’s a Greenlight going on here, and there’s a video below, which I suspect you will want to watch. This one looks fascinating.

People will still complain that it’s omniscient and cheating no matter how deaf, blind and dumb it is.

After watching that, I now believe it actually means “things that go BOOOOOOOM”.

This made me think of the scary film Cube.

Never mind the footage, I was exhausted by the time I was done with that description.

Music reminds me of Metroid Prime. That’s a good thing.

Yeah, same here, I still dig the style of Pyrotechnica. I never played it that much but its color scheme is not easy to forget. Amazing box-art also.

I have watched the video twice and still have not the faintest idea what I’ve been looking at

If it’s as good as Retrovirus, I’ll buy a copy.

Oh man, the music and art direction combined on this are tickling my PS1 retro nerve. Is there yet a place where it might be purchased?
13/02/2013 at 08:04 boom_dk says:
actually, judging from the attached video I’m seeing a lot of Descent and not so much FTL
