Iron Sky: Invasion
About
In the near future, mankind faces the greatest threat to its posterity ever in recorded history: an invading Nazi horde, reborn in the depths of space! An armada of Fourth Reich ships, built in secret at a hidden base on the moon, descends upon the Earth to rain terror and destruction.
But this is not done without resistance. A cadre of crack space pilots have stepped forth to defend Mother Earth from becoming the new Fatherland of this twisted regime. A lone pilot, entering the hangar to see three state-of-the-art, prototypes ships awaiting him, knows he is the only one who can save Planet Earth. It is up to him and his brothers in arms to ensure that humanity stays free of the yolk of Nazism for good and all...
Set during the main conflict of the movie, “Iron Sky: Invasion” puts players in the cockpit of an advanced new starfighter, to test his or her might, flight and dogfighting skills against the forthcoming Blitzkrieg-on-high. The main objectives are to defend Earth and its space installations from enemy attacks, blast as many Nazi ships into oblivion as humanly possible, collect and skillfully manage necessary resources, and make it alive to the final confrontation… where the ultimate secret weapon of the Fourth Reich awaits those foolishly brave enough to take up the hammer and chisel of heroism and attempt to carve their names onto the tablets of history.GameplayThe film itself was only the first stage of the assault. Now, after the credits have rolled, the true strike begins with “Iron Sky: Invasion”, the official video game of the movie. The game puts the players in direct control of an advanced space fighter pilot hell-bent on protecting Earth from an invading Nazi fleet from outer space.
Created by the architects of the world’s most popular European RTS series, the “Earth” franchise (“Earth 2140”, “Earth 2150” & “Earth 2160”), and the best-selling RPG hits “Two Worlds” and “Two Worlds II”, “Iron Sky: Invasion” packs more firepower than a space-borne missile array, and, as did the film, will supersede the expectations of its genre. The future of space combat begins in 2012.Key Features:

Boredom in the All I used To play freelancers until falling over, all The Systems and Battles, Ships missions Just the Madness, with the Fan Mod "Discovery" the Game was completely expanded with countless Ships, Systems and Animation etc. I Hope the Iron Sky vlt will bring back some of the good Feeling of back then, but unfortunately that was not the Case. The Main Problem of Iron Sky is the Boredom that comes up, The Ships look boring, the battles are boring, the Story is boring even the music is boring as there are only 2-3 Pieces that repeat themselves all the time .. Among other things, the American Anthem.
Conclusion: I have not had any Fun and can also advise everyone against the Game, who would still like to look around in Space, I would advise to wait until it is on offer.

I liked The Film, even if it is unwanted or unintentionally trashy. However, The Game becomes a Fremjam Marathon. With that, the Action is already ticked off-desolate, not motivated. Remains the Gameplay. May be reasonably well thought out, but there are simply too many better Alternatives. Personally, I found Control and Navigation/card bad. As a small Excerpt the first Mission ...
1. Video explains the Mission (really trashy, I didn't want to listen to it) 2. Clicking through the Menu to perform a Space Jump into the finish Area 3. Another video (okay, the original German Actor is entertaining) 4th menu, Space Jump 5th video "Yes the other guy has said ..." "Okay then go back and do PengPeng" 6th Menu, Space jump 7th Actual Combat/Game/mission Why couldn't everything take place there after Point 3? Are there Spaceships, but no Communication within the same Orbit?! Fumous, annoying. Don't make You want any more.
If the Game is free somewhere, the Installation doesn't hurt. I wouldn't spend any money.

The Comedy of the Film is also good around here and invites you to a rather entertaining space massacre. One puts oneself well and quickly in the position of the large-nofty buddy pilot, who with his Rival "Kreuzi" is obviously so beginning to take the War seriously. The Dialogues are Fun and the space ambience flatters the eyes. If you play it like me with Mouse & Tasta, you should urgently have ne Mouse with "down" adjustable DPI setting, at 2000 DPI you can otherwise do 2x 360s in 1 Second, which goes colossally on The Nuts with Aimen. If you get caught up in the Space Station like me and can't dock for almost 2 minutes, because you have to get the Labyrinth of the Masters behind you first, you're botting off.
The Steam achievements are really "no" fun, they are seemingly flawed or trigger only with a special star constellation. The 3 that are still open I did not get unlocked Even the second Time I Scodled through despite fulfilled Goals. According to the Discu-Board, however, almost everyone is doing so and There seems to be no Remedy either, ergo Garbage.
Total impression: 8/10
