Lost on Steam EP. 43 This is one of the 3 featured games in the weekly Sunday show. An unboxing for video games! You can watch the highlights of this game and the two others featured this week here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns_9t3haxEo I want to make sure everyone understands this right away: The game starts SLOW. The first 2 levels or so are a pretty slow ramp up to where the game inevitably goes, which is amazing. I was really turned off initially because it was the same enemy type firing the same 1 slow projectile at me through the entire first level and a half. Then there is a fairly sudden shift towards the end of the second level where the difficulty kicks up to a REALLY enjoyable place. That aside, I think the game does a lot well. It's forgiving and punishing at the same time. You can use continues if you are having a super rough time of it, but also you're going to die. A lot. Enemies will start SWEEPING lasers across the screen and if you aren't ready with that millisecond dodge then you're going to be taking a chunk of damage. Here is where this game really shines though: The magnetic pulse mechanic. As you shoot or damage an enemy they will eventually get a circle that appears around them. If you pilot your mech into that circle and press SPACEBAR then the enemy will detonate and your mech sends out a little pulse. This mechanic is SO COOL and really gives way to some interesting game strats that I haven't seen before. If you have other enemies that are close enough you can even chain blow up a number of enemies at the same time. It's now a risk vs reward system for how close you're willing to get to some of these enemies. tl;dr - Game is great although a bit slow in the beginning. The pulse mechanic is unique and creates new and interesting bullet hell strategies.

Project Aether is a pretty fun shooter. Great mix of ranged and melee combat. Decent amount of customization, 2 weapon slots, a few special abilities, and colors Don't ignore the trials. Some of them are a ton of fun and unlock items. Also has an acid thrower.

увидел в описании, что игра твин-стик. подключил геймпад. запустил игру. а игра не поддерживает мой геймпад!!! она вобще по ходу геймпады не поддерживает! зачем обманывать игроков? где русский язык? тяжело перевести хотя бы текст? где система перков, апгрейдов, хоть чего нибудь? вы всю игру предлагаете проходить с двумя видами пушек и мечом? и хотите за это 254 рубля? серьезно? по-моему разрабы этой игры ленивые жадины https://youtu.be/CrtP20l1_dg

I haven't played many twin stick shooters in my life, but Project AETHER is a great place to dive in. Very polished and enjoyable. Playing NieR: Automata recently and seeing the twin-stick shooter bullet hell style sections in that game made me want to play a more fleshed out version of that kind of thing, and Project AETHER scratched that itch. For being a seemingly limited game with its brief (albeit well-voiced and polished) campaign, there is a lot of bonus content, unlockables, playstyles and an immense skill ceiling. I really do love this game. My only real criticism/feedback is that I wish there was more visual feedback when i-frames were active during the dash, especially the default basic one that I prefer using.

Really cool game The game is really easy to get into; just pick-up and play a mission or two here and there. Lots of different weapons to try and it kinda feels like a different game when you do. Would love to see co-op being added, maybe in a sequel or dlc.

**As per the agreement: I did get a free copy of Project AETHER for review purposes.** As someone who usually tends to avoid the twin shooter, I have to say that I was rather impressed with Project AETHER. It's a short game, but one with lots of replayability and also a fair difficulty selection if you are new to the genre or want to challenge yourself. For the asking price, it is more than fair and definitely would recommend Project AETHER to anyone who is a fan of the genre. Will be posting a full review of the game soon, but as far as initial thoughts go, my compliments to the creators and thank you for a lovely game. ^__^

<-- Review written for 3 Point Play --> I've decided to go out of the way to get this review done before I'd keep playing because even with 30 mins of playtime, I already fell in love with this game. While I'm not a massive bullet-hell fan, Project AETHER is just so appealing that I ended up loving it just a few minutes after booting it up. The controls are really well thought, since you use both sticks to move and shoot, and the bumpers to do pretty much everything else, while the XYBA buttons are there to fill on the other non-essential functions (or those that you don't have to do all the time, such as using a repair kit or reloading your weapons) The story so far is really compelling, I'm feeling a really strong Ace Combat vibe from it, but I'm not really sure why, that, of course, is nothing but a good thing. The graphics are pretty damn gorgeous for a bullet hell game, which usually feature some pretty visuals but they never take the spotlight. My only complain, however, would be about the voice acting, which I'm not so sure about, but even then, it's pretty serviceable. Another thing worth mentioning is the fact that the game comes with a Codex in the Extras section in the main menu, a little something that I happen to really enjoy. Everytime you defeat an enemy, the Codex is updated with interesting info about the aliens you're facing. Truly a labor of love, it's those details that make a game worth playing, in my opinion. An easy 9/10 for me!

Project Aether: First Contact: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As the quest for space exploration become a reality, we humans become enthusiastic to the idea of discovering and walking on new planets, as well as coming across new types of living organisms. This euphoria dies down rather sharply when one of our chief scientists mentioned that we might encounter unknown and hostile civilizations during our space endeavours. Unanimously, we decide to build a mech that can be deployed quickly on planet orbits or surfaces. Just in time, our first prototype is ready for testing as we lose all radio contact with the rest of our planets. Ready to launch. . . Project Aether – First Contact! Project Aether: First Contact is a twin-stick shooter game developed and self-published by Sleepy Spider Studios on the 25th of February 2020 on Steam. The game consists of a campaign with 9 missions, 4 levels of difficulty, an excellent tutorial, and 3 modes: Trials, Survival, Boss Run. As you start the campaign, your mech will have a generic loadout with a primary, secondary and an energy blade (melee) for the weapons, as well as a dash type and a Power EMP. As you progress through the levels, you’ll unlock new weapons, dash types and Power EMP’s. The missions will take around 8 to 20 minutes on average on the normal level of difficulty. With that said, you’ll probably die more than once from the third mission onwards. But don’t worry, you’ll have 3 continues up your sleeve on normal difficulty; you’ll only have one continue on the hard level of difficulty, with tougher enemies to deal with. Each mission will have a certain number of waves of enemies to eliminate and you’ll be graded from S to D depending on how many opponents you destroyed along with how many hits you took. As you move on from wave to wave, the variety of enemies increases quickly, and soon you’ll face spaceships that shoot different types of projectiles (including lasers) and drop mines, while other enemy spaceships will fly directly at your mech to pierce its hull. It’s just mayhem and super fun! The trick is to make sure to use your dash at the right time to avoid being hit; simple but not easy to achieve. If you ‘ve taken too many hits, your hull gauge will turn red; you’ll have 5 repair kits to use on your first life but fewer on your second or third life or continue. Mind you, I stuffed it up more than once using repair kits and lost many lives far too early. There are leader boards for each of the levels in the campaign, trails, survival and Boss Run. So, if you are competitive and want to record the best score on each of the modes of play, learn to avoid projectiles very quickly. The maximum combo points are 3, and you start on 1. For each enemy you destroy, the combo will increase by 0.1, so you’ll need to kill 30 opponents to reach the maximum combo. And let me tell you, it’s an achievement in itself if you manage to do so. But if you’re like me, and keep taking on bullets and lasers from left, right and centre, you’ll be back to combo 1 rather often. The game is well made; the controls are fluid and the story and the voice over are good, as are the graphics. The campaign might be slightly on the short side, but with the trials, survival and Boss runs modes, this game has good replayability without a doubt. The only issue I had was to run the game the first time; my anti-virus didn’t like a file name, but after adjusting my settings, everything was fine. I really enjoyed the game! Positives: ~~~~~~~~ + Good graphics + Campaign, trials, survival and Boss runs modes + 4 levels of difficulty + Easy to play, challenging and good replayability + Multiple Leader boards + Achievements Negatives: ~~~~~~~~ - No trading cards as yet - Campaign on the short side Control the prototype mech, Project Aether, and defeat an unknown Alien force. A fun twin-stick shooter to own! 7/10 Key provided by the developer/publisher for review purposes. Any opinions expressed are entirely my own!
