I've only just started playing this, but it's a very nice little space sandbox, definitely inspired by the X series, but a lot easier to get into, in my opinion. If you've ever wanted to make a little business in space but Albion Prelude seems intimidating, this might be for you!

I had no idea this game was being made until it was released on Steam and GOG. This game caught me completely by surprise and immediately won me over with its charmingly cute papercraft graphics and intuitive spellcrafting system - especially with the crazy amount of spell combinations you can make!

Some people have drawn parallels to Magicka in terms of complex spellcrafting, but believe me this game is much different. The spellcrafting is much more relaxed and much more about experimenting with different combos - Plus there's no "invalid" combinations so out of the 40 different materials you can really start making some incredibly crazy spells!

One I've made, which I've called "Me And THIS Army!", summons a magical turret which fires a volley of bullets that split apart - the bullets themselves do no damage, however upon disappearing or hitting a target they spawn a veritable swarm of little minions who will happily swarm any and all enemies on the screen.

If you're still not sure, give the demo a try and get a feel for the spellcrafting mechanics (The demo allows you to use 15 of the 40 materials, and lets you play 3 missions). You won't regret it!

A very silly but frequently terrifying trip through a landscape filled with jolly old toffee-nosed hunter robots. At the time of writing this it's on sale for half price, so give it a look if it sounds like it'd be your kind of thing :D
