Pros and cons of The Fleet app for iPhone and iPad
The Fleet app good for
My first ever review...I am a lazy bum, but this game sure needs some much needed appreciation and well deserved praise.
If you do not care for audiovisual destraction from your core gameplay this is the game for you. Its all tough (and really tough) decisions that matter (sometimes immediately sometimes they hurt you weeks later) and story. I do not know how far I am into this game but it keeps me constantly on my toes....I always feel like "Oh I have messed up my last fight...this will hurt next battle"...the feeling to be one step away from total extinction and "game over your whole race died" is something I only experienced in big budget titles....to see it in such a small little game....is pure joy.
If you are on the fence:
The games throw a problem at you not always with a simple solution.
You are given the choice how to react...and the outcome varies greatly
Think Battlestar Galactica Season one without the plotholes and shiney cg
I will check out the other games from "Choice of Games and sure hope there is something similar to this (even a sequel/prequel /retcon will do)
Overall verdict:
(^.^)=b
Edit:
I am playing this on iPad 3
A fun game that had me feeling like the future of my world was truly in the palm of my hand. Engrossing game if a little short.
Like this choose your own destiny book. It has really interesting choices and you actually feel like a captain You are a hero. Not just an excellent game for sight challenged people, but a good game for anyone.
Some bad moments
Easily one of my favorite stories by COG if you enjoyed "Star Captain" this is worth a try.
That is all I can say about this game. I love broadsides, dragon, and many other COG games, but there arent enough actual characters or real challenges to make this worthwhile. The worst part is? The concept has potential.
I love this one. I can replay the story quite a few times without getting bored, which is a great quality in text based games. Overall it is a really awesome game. Make more of these text based adventure games please, Ill try them all!
Excellent as always , waiting eagerly for another installment from Choice of Games or Hosted games !
Well written game, many choices and ways to play. Very entertaining sci-fi adventure!
Im not gonna sugar coat it Im usually in love with these games, however this one had scratching my head wondering where the rest of the story went. Overall there are two primary choices and regardless of how many it make look like there is only 3 endings. 2 of which truly makes me want to gouge the eyes out of whoever thought that those would satisfy ANY type of game. Overall I started with two stars however realizing that this game was just pathetic in nature it will now be one.
