Why not just make the game paid, I don’t want to subscribe to a game.
The game is great, and I would happily pay a few dollars to support the developers and get the rest of the features, but the options are $3.99 to subscribe for 3 months, or $9.99 to purchase it outright. The game is not that complex or valuable. Bummer because I would otherwise buy Pro to keep playing and support!
Seems to have a bug if you get combo attack followed by heavy landing. Combo attack bonus gets cancelled after that.
Vactics is a very cool game very engaging but Vactics pro is in my opinion a joke, I really think this game would be more popular if everything wasn’t pay to get. Still really like the game tho
Its a super fun roguelite with what i think are stunning aesthetics. The problem is the game has this huge paywall thats overpriced. You literally cannot progress or unlock anything after 1 hour of play. Then its $10. $10 DOLLARS. for a mobile game with procedural levels. For comparison Lethal company is $14.99. Thing is i would buy it for $3-$5 but $10 is crazy
Just started playing. Didn’t the intro say that you’re protected immediately after you land? That doesn’t seem to be true. Love the aesthetic of the game! Keep up the good work! Edit: oh okay, you’re protected from the “first attack” not first wave of attacks if multiple Vactics hit you when you land. That wasn’t immediately obvious to me. Also, I don’t get how loading tech works. I have both Dash and Freeze. I can mount either in either the Chassis or Engine. But I can’t mount one in the Chassis and one in the Engine? Why not?
ive updated this review 3 times. few mintues into tutorial i knew this game was gpijg to be hard to put down. after playing a few stages it feels distinctly like a combination of "hoplite" (one of my favorites) and "into the breach' (from makers of ftl) 20m i bought the full version for $10. it is good. not as fun as hoplite or into the breach (9/10 instead of 10/10)...but has more content improvement needed: 1. its more immersive if we have a map w diverging paths kind of like FTL, w a few small story elements at each decision that can have a similar affect update 5: this developer gets it. this is the game i was waiting for for so long after FTL, or "executive", or gunman taco truck, or hoplite, lol. unfortunately beat it. (maybe 14hours) it's very fun. artwork could be slightly jazzier (like ftl), but gameplay is 10/10 update 6: apparently i only beat the 1st stage phase (i'm not sure how many phases there are) when i thought i beat the game... a pleasant surprise to discover there's more phases with new enemies!!! couldnt get into the lost pilots. "breach" seemed to implement this better. 1. the game can addictive to the point that when there is delay between load screens between stages or restarts it can be frustrating. i noticed another review had the same sentiment and i get that lol 2. this game is awesome though, so please keep upgrading and add new enemies and technologies. 3. adding a big boss would make it very cool too!
This game is fun and at times even relaxing. I find myself playing it to past the time a lot. Its really cool how you can change the games color scheme and even app color. But thats it. Other than making a mech with already made pieces, thats it. The amount if customizing on this game is limited to the fact that its in an apocalyptic setting, though it would be cooler if you could find nee or different pieces with different and varying powers in some levels and even the ability to color the mech seperate from the game to keep it fresh. Altogether, this game is really nice
The game itself is really good and I find myself playing it on and off throughout the day. But there are a few features that could be enhanced for better experience by the user. A big suggestion is to make it faster to restart and play again after you die. Not sure if it’s just me but, I die quite often and the amount of time it takes to get to the restart option is a bit long and irritating. Especially since I keep dying a bit fast and don’t really last that long in general since I’m still learning. If this were fixed and improved the game would feel so much better. Also, the tutorial is very lacking, there are still parts of the game I’m confused about and wasn’t explained to me i.e. the page in between levels—I’m not sure how those bottom buttons correspond with which building you choose. It’s just confusing to me. These may sound like small things but they actually are really important for the player. The game is great and it’s original and it’s addicting but I just wish these two points were improved upon.
I’ve been playing this game for a little less than a week so far, I have all of the mech tech unlocked, and all of the pilots except for Kim. Fun game to play on long road trips because you don’t need a wifi connection. I would love to see more content to this game in the future if possible.
