It is on sale today for 2 bucks, but there was no trailer to show what the game is like. Thanks for the review! :)

[@TheCaptnHammer]

Picked this up for $1.99 today while watching this. Thanks!

[@earlyculyer4103]

Love these types of games wish I had them when I was a kid.

[@placeholder2617]

That's the beauty of games, don't have to be a kid to play them. Though I do understand what you mean

My sister wants to enjoy this amazing game, but she gets far too angry when it comes to the Lander on the planets due to all her mistakes. I've figured out how it works honestly, and yet I still make mistakes. But the game is far too lovable for all the hate it receives. The music, the visuals, the different encounters, the physics of Space, even the characters. It's all so good and I don't even get frustrated when I mess up. I will now admit. My first proper main game I failed. But so what. I've learned for next time. I know why I failed. I chose the wrong galaxy for my first mission, so I had to choose to kill a character just to diffuse the tension between the Ilitza race and my characters. Blew up the Lander with a failed ejector on a Hell planet next. Then I kinda just thought I'll try and make it to the star system where I should've been the first time, and the last two suffocated and died. And then I just ended up being an emotional wreck, which is why the game is so beautiful to me. I'm glad my sister got me intrigued by the game. And I am very intrigued. I love the challenges you have to deal with too. It is so worth it, especially because I bought it with the 90% off deal, with five hours to spare.

[@dohertyaaron]

Thanks for the impressions. Man, that presentation looks incredible. Someone needs to buy that art team a beer.

[@SirDutchie]

They definitely deserve a cold one, or a few!

[@AndiDev]

Thank you!! More than one! We added a story mode now to take out some tension for new players.

Can you land on planets and get out to explore?

Watched your video then went and caught the game on sale for Switch. W00t! It's bassically a more advacend version of Out There. Sub earned.

[@hyperbolic-time-chamber-strand]

Well it's about 100yrs later and it's 1.99 now for the switch now is prime time to purchase.

Hey this looks pretty damn cool

[@Chevifier]

Just bought this on sale for $1.99 I like it buit the only thing I dont like about it is the constant loading.

[@RadishAcceptable]

As soon as I saw the mainstream journalists bitch the entire time about being too noob to win I knew it was probably a great game.

[@mikicerise6250]

The "Alpha Centauri galaxy"?

[@neojournalyst]

It seems to be a fictional place in the game. Otherwise, how would you visit other star systems during your long journey home. Why they didn’t just call it the Andromeda Galaxy is a mystery. At the very least the writers are not even clever.

[@blastcorn]

It gets confusing when you start mixing up star systems with galaxies.

[@Krzeszny95]

So many people complain in Steam reviews that the orbital and landing mechanics are too wonky. This game needs a tutorial like Kerbal Space Program.

[@prestonrenify]

When I grow up some more, I too wish to be a Theoretical Physicist working on String Theory. Kudos to you. You are one of my inspirations and favorites!

[@angry-white-men]

I'm pretty sure string theory's already been proven. You're just several decades late to the party.

[@anoniemonbekenden8159]

@@angry-white-men My cat and I often practice the string theory

[@donnymcjonny6531]

@@angry-white-men Nah, proven is a strong word in Physics and work is still being done with String Theory.

[@TimoNaaro]

I wonder if this is better or everspace. they seem similiar.

[@SirDutchie]

They're actually quite different and only somewhat similar because they're both roguelike type games.

[@TimoNaaro]

and have FTL vibe. anyways I think I will only have time for one of them. Which do you think will get better critical reception?`:)

[@SirDutchie]

I don't see how critical reception has to do with anything? Just decide what seems the most fun to you! :) And if you bought one of them and you're still not entirely sold, you can always request a refund within 2 hours. Both games show their true colors well within the first two hours.

[@SirDutchie]

I actually covered Everspace too, might help with your decision.

[@TimoNaaro]

thanks man. I think it might.

[@OperationDx1]

Great video. Thank you.

[@milowolfface9392]

Wow....so the photos I saw on the store look way fucking different. To the point where I EXPECTED somthing entirely different

[@MrValgard]

so u can't save? if u fail u start over again? :(

[@SirDutchie]

+MrValgard Yes

[@MrValgard]

oh.. so it isn't game for me... someone put rpg in descriptions. For me rpg is building progress ;)

[@AndiDev]

There is a save game and the game gets saved automatically. But you can not save and load by yourself. You have to life with your descisions

[@Winterheart786]

fuck that. was going to buy but if i cant save then its one of those games. not for me.

[@Alex-by4zv]

@winterheart786 We can't save in rl either, and we are making a lot of horrible decisions, wasting time and money on irrelevant stuff, yet we are enjoying it hardcore

[@destyrian]

This game looks really good but has a horrific rating on Steam... any ideas why?

[@kebby8251]

It's $1.99 right now. Get it

[@Eduxxxful]

Nice review, thank you

[@SirDutchie]

+Eduxxxful You're welcome mate

[@brokedownsystem]

A steal for $2 for the next 22 hours on the psn!

[@frasermitchell2765]

If you're checking this game out, don't bother imo. Great ideas and art are totally ruined by the lander minigame. It's integral to the game but tedious and the controls are complete garbage... just fired up the game after a year+ since I picked it up initially. Nothing is fixed. Save yourself a few bucks and just smash your keyboard down on your index finger for about 5 minutes as hard as you can. Sry Deadalic, huge miss here.

[@xrotarebil]

Is there a similar space game that is better than this one? I saw this just advertised on GOG, but given the poor reviews I might give it a miss.

[@frasermitchell2765]

@@xrotarebil I can't think of one that I would class as 100% similar to this. It's pretty unique and the story setup and style are kind of in a class of their own, partly why I was so disappointed. Usually, I love Deadalic games. There are plenty of really amazing space games as general alternatives though. Check out FTL or Everspace if you like roguelikes or EvE, GOF2, Rebel Galaxy if you want just really good gameplay but much more depth. One to watch out for is Rebel Galaxy Outlaw coming later this year. My money is still on Freelancer, it's pretty old but just amazing. I'm still looking for something like it if you have a reco, closest I can find is Starpoint Gemini 2.

[@MacVerick]

Jesus Christ I wish I read your comment before getting this garbage... and for $55 too....

[@anFy81]

thank you

Playing the Deponia games, from Daedelic. I like them, but they got a few bugs that have never been fixed, too.

+Sunsetter Glad you liked it mate, cheers!

[@AndiDev]

Thank you! ;)

[@daktaklakpak5059]

They found a good solution to Star Control 2's poor landing gather-resources missions. This is what evolution in video gaming is. Yet it was again an small developer who came up with the important improvements. And not one of those triple shame devs. Where you only get overpriced trash with missing content that is sold as DLC! With some bits and parts of this and of other games. You can not only recreate, you can create the perfect Star Control game! Basically a super epic Space Opera that can be played in so many different ways. That it will blow Star Citizen and everything that came prior to that combined, out of the ocean! We have the technology, we have the studios with the money, but we don't have the people with the talent and the brain to even achieve 1% of such a project. This industry is dominated by frauds and shitheads, it disgusts me to the core! The devolution and the poor ways of this industry is worse than cancer!

[@DeadVoivod]

Wtf?

[@Corkedwolf43771]

spot on we get drip fed gripping games with DLC's that add to the shit endings aswell micro transact this,that and the up and coming companies have their root ideas,codes and fixes "stolen" by the big cheese's,reminds me of westwood studios before EA tookover the command and conquer series !

[@roadsidebong6333]

Whats funny tho is 2d lander games is a throwback to 1980s of the coin op moon lander. I think what op is saying is 2d lander needs to be put in more games, it needs to be in More 4X games.

[@kosterix123]

€ 0,72 The Long Journey Home. Haven't bothered with playing yet.

No manual save? Then its a no from me

Its 3 bucks on gog atm, even if its shit its worth that lol

It’s a roguelike

[@jamareonhayes6571]

[@dedskinprodcerdj4273]

what about Super Black Holes , or Super Mega Black Holes , are those in the game , Pulsars maybe ? If not so this Space Journey in Space wouldn't be realistic, i don't like PC Games that are not realistic

[@samurai4663]

I know this is late but why wouldnt it be realistic. No game can truly be realistic, but who decides whats realistic anyway?

[@Yuurekk]

Alpha Centauri galaxy Education has failed you, it seems.

[@neojournalyst]

Since Alpha Centauri and Proxima Centauri are the closest stars to our own, how would you gather that you visit other star systems in route to your “long journey home?” Clearly, the Alpha Centauri galaxy in this game is a fictional place in the game’s mythology. In your ridicule of someone else’s education level you have at a minimum exposed your lack of critical listening skills.

[@RathianArt]

Okay that's a bit rough but i was like WHAT?! Alpha Centauri galaxy?! XD

[@cubeincubes]

Making this all single player and not having manual save seems rather irresponsible and it’s a deal breaker for me.

[@Maikeru101]

Hence the name roguelike, those types of games don’t do Manuel saving. You die, well, you die and start over with better knowledge of things
