Spacelords Universe / The same character?

Anyone notice these two look pretty much the same? If this turns out to be the same character, I'm pretty interested to learn her backstory and how she became a raider. Maybe Lycus trained her, they seem to be pretty close.

Gameplay Feedback / Re: My pros and cons of the game so far

In the situation that kewlbot shows I tend to shoot  for like 3 hits or so (still got some more bullets in the clip), and when I'm in melee range I finish him with a punch. Because he already took damage I can one-punch him, and by killing in melee I get ammo back.
So, I rarely finish an enemy only by shooting in this kind of situation.

This does seem to make a lot of sense but I've tried something like this before where I mix up my strategy with some melee attacks after shooting. The only problem is that there's always a chance your melee attack will fail and depending on the enemy, they can counter and completely destroy you. Maybe there's a point where an enemy takes enough damage with your gun that it's impossible for you to fail a melee attack? I know you can do this with the more advanced enemies by depleting their HP to 0 but I haven't figured out a way to guarantee a successful melee take down with a regular enemy.

The tutorial is very simplistic. I think the game could totally benefit from a better tutorial, because honestly it took me hours to finally figure out that this game is more melee and stealth based. If they lock other abilities besides melee attacks and put the player into some CQC situations first and then explain shooting and other abilities, I think that can help the player understand more how the game works.

As an example of how many shots it takes to kill an enemy with a shotgun, here's a gif I made while playing last weekend.



I should also mention that this is after I got a card in the game that increases her gun's clip size, so it was much more difficult without this buff.

Perhaps this isnt so much an issue with the guns but the internet connection not registering the hits?

Gameplay Feedback / My pros and cons of the game so far
 on: July 31, 2017, 03:59:18 AM 
This is my first Beta weekend with the game and I've been playing it at pretty much every moment I can. There's some stuff I really really like about this game, but also few things that I don't. For simplicity, I'll just label them as pros and cons.

PROS
  • Great looking game. The entire cast of raiders all look awesome. Can't say I dislike any of these designs and their alternate skins look great too. Same goes for the enemies, very well designed and fun to look at.
  • Performance is great too, I haven't ran into any performance issues throughout the whole weekend besides the game crashing once today.
  • I'm a huge fan of user interfaces and I'm really liking how the menus are designed. The menus just feel good to navigate and are very cohesive to the game's theme.
  • Melee attacks feel meaty and fun to use. You definitely get an impression that they hit really hard. Grab moves look and feel awesome as well.
  • Guns, for the most, part also feel pretty good.

CONS
  • Lycus's ability seems disjointed with his personality. He seems like a very wild and agressive guy, so why does he have a shield? Doesn't seem to fit the character.
  • Gameplay leaves little room for error. If you mess up a melee attack or grab with an enemy, it always seems like you're guranteed to get destroyed.
  • Raiders all feel helpless against more than one enemy. If you're caught in a fight with two or more enemies, you are most likely going to die. There's no way to deal with more than one enemy than to frantically run, or get killed. The only raider that I know that can really deal with being surrounded by enemies is Konstantin. Why can't the raiders have some kind of grenade ability?
  • Now, I love shotguns in shooters so I naturally gravitated towards Alicia and she's a really cool looking character too. With a shotgun, I expect heavy close range damage, but the enemies in this game can really take a hit. I've emptied my gun's clip several times and the enemy is still standing even from mid range. Paired with the fact my character can't do anything against a group of enemies and suddenly Alicia just doesn't seem cool anymore.
  • I can't unlock Shae for some reason. Finished all the missions successfully and the game is still claiming I can't unlock her. Looking through the forums, it seems this has been a costant issue. It bothers me quite a bit this hasn't been fixed yet.

Overall, I think my experience with the game was pretty good. I think if some of my concerns are addressed, this game can easily be one of new obsessions but so far it's difficult for me to really love it.
