Decent story, decent gameplay and mechanics, basic fun space shooter. What I can't get over is that a cheat is pretty much required for mission #4, and that I beat the whole game in 5 hours with one cheat after spending a couple of hours stuck on that one mission. I want to say 2.5 or 3 out of 5 stars...which I guess for Steam means not to recommend. There are better space fighting games out there.. This game recieved a 57 aggregate score on Metacritic; I'm assuming this reflects the initial unpatched version. I'd give it an 84, mainly because of the short length (3.6 hours for one playthrough). At the price point however, that is reasonable, and the game is very fun. Pick it up; it's worth the money.. Do not buy!You have a cap ship killing cannon and the ability to hack enemy ships to find week points, yet many times throughout the campaign they refuse to let you use it.This causes your team ships and statsions get blown up, when you could've easily kept them alive.Try freespace 2 with mods or Evochron Mercenary, instead.. As much as I wanted to love this game, it's terribad.Controls are garbage, with no real mouse support (the virtual stick which they've added in is a complete joke that may as well not even exist for how useless it is) in this day and age, kills any hope of it having any life beyond a $2 sale. Games from 10 years ago managed to get this right, out of the box, there's simply no excuse today.Length is unforgivable despite the bargain bin price. At BEST, the game is 4 hours of playtime, so unless you get it at the $2 sale price mentioned above, it's simply not worth putting up with and wading through the aggravation.There's suggestion from the developer that there will be DLC, but honestly, they need to give away content until it reaches a MINIMUM of 10 hours before even considering charging money for what should have come with the game.$2 max is all it's worth. Don't bother otherwise.. Very Short Campaign, Great Game play. Adds a new Unique feature to Dog fighting called Sliding. the best way to describe it would be a 360 degree turret ability with all guns and missles. It integrates almost seemlessly with the navigation controls so you are able to pilot and shoot with it. The AI Elites can be a handful without sliding so if your having trouble learn to use it. That said however the AI has a serious flaw with close proximity to solid objects, if you lure them into a dogfight at very close range to a large ship they may crash into it killing themselves. I was able to do this twice, once by accident the second time on purpose ^_^.Overall, a very thought out and well made space combat sim. The story and campaing however due to it being much to short was a dissapointment.. Sol Exodus is a "space fighter" game that is exceedingly difficult due to enemies that move too fast \/ your own ship that move too slow, forcing you to rely on missiles which you only have a very limited supply. You are also often saddled with extra objectives like protecting other ships. The missiles are so slow and ponderous you wonder if you're playing a 1970's game rather than a space game. And the plot about a religious zealot organization with starships that puts the human exploration command to shame yet the exploration command was the organization tasked with finding a planet for the citizens and colonists of Earth. WHERE did these yahoos get the money? The plot made no sense, the weapons are weak and lame compared to classics like Wing Commander or Freespace, or heck, even current clones like Eterium. it's basically an indie clone with the barest of backstory. Graphics are not bad, but overall it's an also-run that were difficult to play long-term.. *scaled rating at the end*I wanted to like this game. I really did. But it's just to plain and dumbed down. It can almost fly itself. Space combat here reminds more of Independence War. You can literally spin around 180 degrees. Kinda like doing sports car drift in space. Interestingly, it does not work with CH Products sticks but is perfect with my Logitech 3D Extreme. Acting and story telling are straight out of the Alien Breed Series. Wingmen are useless. Most of my missions were solo.The only reason for my low scores here is that I bought this and Freespace 1 & 2 at the same time. I loaded this first. But played both versions of Freespace and the modded version of Freespace before a played the fifth mission of this. When a 10 year-old game gets my time over a new game....hmmmmm. Well, I'm just saying.Thumbs up because it works and I bought on on 80% off sale.Graphics 8\/10Audio 8\/10Controls\/UI 9\/10Immersion 4\/10Grind Level 3\/10 (low is good)Replay Value 3\/10Overall fun 4\/10. I am a hardcore fan of Space-Combat-Exploration simulation\/arcade games. I own and played a lot of them, in every category. I enjoyed most of them and have fond memories of each one.This game is an exception. Its combat mechanics are horrible, visuals are so and so, the music and sound generally is out of place, and the story is laughable. This is a rare case of a game that I'll leave it unfinished, uninstall it, and never think of it again. And so shoud you. Game is very short. Looks ok but could have been so much more. Had some bugs.
