Gratuitous Space Battles 2

The Key used for this Review was provided by the Developer for Review purposes. Ultimate Space battles? Gratuitious Space Battles 2 builds a Fleet of Cruisers, Battleships, Hunters and the like to destroy an enemy alien fleet. However, you cannot control the Ships directly, but have to plan ahead of the battle By giving your Spaceships certain Commands, which you can no longer change during the Battle. Once that's done, you look at the Battle and hope everything goes right. If it doesn't, just try again after changing the Commands. The Concept that you can only control your Spaceships indirectly works relatively well, but there is not as much Action as there is in other strategy games. However, the Absence of the Action is ironed out again by a good Representation of the Battles, as it comes with many Effects and Explosions. The Mood is accompanied by appropriate Music, which, however, repeats itself quite often after a While. The Sound as well as the entire Soundscape is also good, but after a While rather annoying, as some Announcements are repeated 50 times in a row. ("You're taking radiation damage.") But let's Get back to other Things now. In Gratuitous Space Battles 2, there are a few different, but Basically the same, game modes: First, there are the Individual Missions, in which you play a single Battle against a prefabricated Fleet of Enemies. Secondly, there is the ' Campaign ', in which you also play Battles against prefabricated Fleets, but you have to play several Battles in a row with the same Fleet. That means any Ship you lose could spell the End of its Campaign. Finally, there are custom Missions where you can decide for yourself what the Background looks like, what opponents you fight, and whether there are any Restrictions on the Player. There is also an online mode, but I can't say anything about it, as I haven't tested it. Won a Battle in any game mode will honor you. With the Honor, you can unlock new Weapons, Decorative Objects and the like in The main menu, which you can then place in the Ship Editor on your self-created Ships, which you can also upload in the Steam workshop. However, let's Go back to the Editor of your own Fleet, which you have to use before each Battle: The Fleet editor Works well in most Cases as long as you have a Wide screen. However, I played the Game test-wise at the lowest Resolution I could choose in Window Mode, and you were quite limited in Fleet creation, because the different Buttons you use suddenly the ships you use Want to select, cover up. This surprises me, as the Game in the Steam Store advertises how good it is-Quote: "Outrageously cool, PHP." Apart from the problems of the PHP's With Non-wide-screen resolutions, however, there were no serious Problems. Per good Atmosphere, beautiful Representation (Effects, Explosions ...) matching Music matching sounds acceptable GUI Game concept works well Control works well creating your own Ships, both visual and functional Comprehensible Tutorial available Steam workshop support Steam collection cards present Neutral mediocre German Translation available Contra GUI works poorly on lower Resolutions texts of German Translation overlap music slightly too repetitive announcements sometimes annoying ("We've AcMade radiation damage! ") Rather little Action, since everything is pre-planned Conclusion I would recommend the Game to anyone who likes great Space battles, but also brings a lot of Patience. It is also recommended for Players who want to design crazy Spaceships. However, those Who expected a Game of massive Action are not suitable for the Game.
