Next Star Rebels - KSP-lite from Humble Games

Post by coopasonic »

I just finished this and found it to be entertaining enough as a Gamepass freebie.



You are a newbie StarTuber making videos of model rockets and trying to grow your channel. There is a kind of lame, kind of interesting story you go through, but mostly you just build things and launch them to see what happens. It has a solid progression and it is much more straightforward than KSP. Presentation is 3d but mechanically it is entirely 2d. There are a couple of annoying bugs, the worst of which is scroll wheel not working for some people (like me). This keeps you from scrolling back through conversations in the chat app but more annoyingly, prevents zooming in and out in the rocket building tool. This can be a real pain later in the game when you are creating massive rockets. Supposedly they know and a fix is coming.

This came out a few days ago and there is very little content out there, so good luck if you are looking for help. In the end I only left one challenge uncompleted. I didn't check achievements to see what else I might have missed. Once you finish the story you unlock creative mode, but I don't feel much need to play after finishing the story.

Ok, I'll ask: What's a KSP?

It's almost as if people are the problem.

Sorry. I hate when people use acronyms/initialisms without defining them, so I really should do better. Oops.

Damn, I was hoping for a light digital version of Kivi Sakset Paperi.
