Anyone also gets the idea that the steam-videos are useless to see what the game is like ?
Always have to find outer resources ...

I bet that this game was made by a single programmer with Unity in six months...

"Founded in 2012, we have since released two flagship titles: Spectraball and Dead Sky."

It's getting panned on the Steam forums, which is a huge shame, as this had a lot of promise. I'm not sure if I'll be splashing the cash on this one just yet. Gutted though, cos I was right up for this one.

It's not bad -- the biggest issue for me (that makes me not want to play it) is the voice acting.

As the dev's have said numerous times in the forum, "it's an indie game!" but if it were me, I would have skipped the voice acting altogether. It brings the quality down from a decent indie shooter to a bedroom flash game.

It's exactly the same issue I have with Survivor Squad.

Less is more except if you have the budget to go all out getting better actors and better dialogue.
