1.0 out now!

Is it worth full price as of right now? I'd say yes. Purchased a while ago, the journey has been long and interesting. Every major update was a decent time to check on progress. Often that meant a dozen hours with friends, realistically still a good value. Now with the full release we have an actual story line. Or ignore it to go exploring, build stuff, do the pokemon thing, create colonies, farm the flora and fauna, etc. Plus the Chucklefish, the developer, has stated support will continue post release. Will be coming back to update my reviews as I play more. And most likely giving it 5 stars after getting more in to the new content.

Mount & Blade

Grab your blade and mount up!

Loot better gear from your fallen enemies to start off. Purchase gear and supplies for your fledgling army and set off for fame and fortune! Take control of local towns and lay siege to forts. Push inside to route your new home of its former pests.. er occupants. Aww, the cute enemy has a shield, shoot him in the foot or just smash it to bits then him next. Oh you got a brand new fief, time to equip your main party and kill some bandits to protect your fledgling kingdom. Diplomacy with surrounding kingdoms? Sure, maybe. Mixing some rpg elements and first/third person combat this game does well to satisfy your inner warlord. Fairly open ended sandbox style with many ways to go about things this first in the series is enjoyable. Getting used to the combat system is not too difficult, they way you use your mouse before initiating an attack will change how the attack works. Get a mount asap, it is an incredible advantage even with a lame horse. When mixed with ranged and a lance to couch you will be able to overcome overwhelming odds. Hopefully your horse survives... If you missed the game for free it's still worth buying the series. Up to you if waiting for a sale is worth it or not.

Omikron: The Nomad Soul

A flawed jewel.

Story, oh my it's quite an interesting journey. Your soul is part of the game! Music, pretty good. Oh and David Bowie. Gameplay, a mix of combat/shooting with magic tossed in as well. This is the main flaw as the game's age was not ready for this type of mix. (Actually a sequel should nail it...) Verdict, if you're looking for something different and have the patience to learn how the game operates it can be a rewarding ride. Also, David Bowie. The main flaw is in how the different portions of the game control. Fighting areas can get particularly annoying especially if the player needs to resort to some cheap tactics to get by (such as spamming a jump attack). Mainly the body you inhabit plays a difference here, don't often have the best for the task at hand and training them takes time plus you can permanently lose the body. Fps portions can get a little weird by today's standards.. Plus there are David Bowie concerts. So why would you not want it buy this game?
