Recent reviews by Starshina Smirnov

(As of 09.07.2024 Valve is working against the bots and the game is currently almost bot free. I will keep this review up as it is until we see that they continue fighting the bot problem.)

This is one of my favourite games of all time but the state it is currently in is completely unacceptable. Valve has shown that they don't care about this iconic game or its ridiculously loyal fanbase. I've been playing this game for over a decade now and want it to at least be in a PLAYABLE STATE.
Valve has also shown its disregard for their old fans with what they did to CSGO.
We need to push back against their crap and we can only hope that they get their stuff together and fix this.
WE NEED BOTS GONE, BOT HOSTERS GONE.

"Constantly updated with new game modes, maps, equipment and, most importantly, hats!"

So true....

Haven't played much or with friends yet but first impressions are great so far.

Will update when I have more time in the game.

Absolute nostalgia. This game is the pinnacle of nostalgia. Shame that it remains a forgotten relic in steam history.

pawn and queen best. wtf is the meth-heroin demonchild abomination? What methhead kethead invent this wtf. I love it. 100% usage on RTX3070ti very nice. Optimised like thermal test for PC. Reccomend not

I've had this game for the better part of a decade and it really makes me sad that is being killed now in such a disgraceful way.

The game has always had its problems but has also always been a casual fun experience. Very sad to see it and I'm only giving a negative review to hopefully send a message to the bastards that are the devs.

A final goodbye to the years of fun and all of the players who allowed for it. ;)

I stayed until the very end, into overtime. Goodbye, you were good, maybe even the best.

07 to everyone who stayed with us.

The origin of many a great game.

This whole series is just one of the G.O.A.T of gaming.

Game used to be good and was a fun simple western shooter on the source engine with that classic charm.

This was until recently when the developer decided to remove many key features like walking and crouch-jumping in favour of new and non-functional slide and wall-jump mechanics. Stationary weapons have also been added to the game which ruin the gameplay cycle very often and the game is steadily going downhill.

The dev seems to be scared of criticism and does whatever he likes no matter what it will do to the game. The game is on a steady path to it's death and we can only hope that the dev gets some sense or leaves the project to someone else to deal with it way better than he has.

I personally don't see much hope for this game anymore but hope it falls into better hands.

(The dev banned me from the community discussions area after posting a silly post stating that the new movement was bad and that the dev's decisions are bad)

(I have also been playing the game for a long time and seen its ups and downs. Sadly I don't see any ups from here on out if the dev stays as he is)

Hard but fun.
Simple yet hard to master.

It's a money grab with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ dev team. Game is full of bugs and they probably won't be fixed.

Play it if you like but don't spend money in it.

(Lmao, I reinstalled the game and now it's asking for a verification email which is simply not being sent. Well done devs!)

I have been playing this game since 2014 and it has had it's ups and downs. It has evolved an enormous amount since then becoming an in-depth craft building game with all of the intrecacies we have come here in the first place for.
The game is finally fully released and with 1000 hours I am finally happy to make a review as a veteran and an experienced player.
FtD has an incredibly steep learning cliff for all of the systems but also has an incredibly active and helpful community. Over 100s of hours of just making ships over and over again learning more everytime you will eventually get to a stage in which you are satisfied with every single build you make and can be confident in yourself.
The most important thing to the game is to not give up and continue building and improving, trying new stuff and having fun.
The game allows for an enormous variety of playstyles and build themes with a (janky) but functional multiplayer.
Hop in and have some fun!
(Perfect ships not to be expected within first 400 hours at least)
