I know I'll get flamed for this one, but Anthelion BETA is not as good as I hoped for. A host of problems make this one a no show in my book and on PocketMatrix, Peter mentions that it will retail for $19.99. Boo...So much for PDAMill keeping it under $15...
Anyways,
- The music is good quality but seems a bit cheesy and doesn't seem to fit the game.
- The sounds are not that great.
- The lasers are colored funny and don't look too like lasers.
- Missles that you fire continue on forever but continue showing up on your radar (making it harder to track enemies)
- The mission objective screen is annoying as heck (you'll see why).
- The controls are tricky at first but seem to work well.
- The graphics are good but not much more than Darxide EMP (Which isn't a bad thing, just not a graphics evolution.)
- The map is confusing because it is transparent causing stars to look like enemies.
Now granted this is a BETA version, so one should expect much more out of the final product. However, since the planned release date for 1.0 is due out in like 10 days, I can't say that much will change from now to then. Perhaps it will, perhaps this beta doesn't really reflect the final product, I don't know. I was just a bit disappointed at the end of the day when I fired it up. Phew...
