Not really a bad game, not that great too, but I still find it good. I like to think it's suitable for relaxation and chilling. A lot of people judge it after playing only the early levels, complaining it's too easy and boring. Well, yeah, at the beginning it's very easy indeed and due to the repetitive nature of the game, may get a little boring. But as you progress beyond the first boss, you'll face bigger challenges and gameplay will get more interesting, though still very repetitive. If you still find it's too easy, you can always change settings, then you'll see how much of a challenge it can get. The story is also fine, not great, not really awful, but yes, quite cliché. It's actually nice that you can choose the music track you're listening to and one very interesting point is that it's easily possible to edit the game files to include your own songs, even replace the ones from the game. As I wanted to get all achievements, I was getting tired of the repetitiveness and dubstep gets kinda annoying at some point, listening to songs I chose helped a lot. However, the music selector is buggy and changes the track randomly at the best part of the song, the dev should fix that, it's annoying. Price is certainly the worse aspect here, it's too expensive for such a simple space shooter, it's much better to get a coupon, that's what I did. Rating: Good Não é realmente um jogo ruim, nem tão ótimo também, mas ainda achei bom. Gosto de pensar que ele é adequado para relaxar e ficar de boa. Muitas pessoas o julgam após jogar somente os primeiros níveis, reclamando que é muito fácil e chato. Bom, sim, no começo é bem fácil mesmo e devido à natureza repetitiva do jogo, pode ficar um pouco chato. Mas conforme você avançar além do primeiro chefe, se deparará com desafios maiores e o jogo será um pouco mais interessante, embora ainda muito repetitivo. Se seguir achando que é muito fácil, sempre dá para alterar as configurações, aí verá como se torna desafiador. A estoria também é OK, não é ótima, nem muito ruim, mas sim, bastante clichê. É ótimo, na verdade, poder alterar a faixa de música que você escuta e um ponto muito interessante é que é facilmente possível editar os arquivos do jogo para incluir suas próprias músicas, até mesmo substituir as do jogo. Como eu queria obter todas as conquistas, estava ficando cansado da repetição e dubstep se torna um pouco irritante em algum momento, ouvir músicas que escolhi ajudou muito. No entanto, o seletor musical é bugado e fica mudando de faixa aleatoriamente na melhor parte da música, o desenvolvedor deveria corrigir isto, incomoda. O preço é certamente o pior aspecto aqui, é muito caro para um simples jogo espacial de tiro, muito melhor conseguir um cupom, foi o que fiz. Nota: Bom

Asteroid Bounty Hunter + MOBA like abilities + Amazing soundtrack + Challenging gameplay + Simplistic upgrading system - Silly story Asteroid Bounty Hunter is a solid 2D space shooter with a silly story. Its gameplay is amusing and fresh even if it comes off as very simplistic. The soundtrack and graphics in the game are beautiful to the eyes and ears. This game delivers on challenge as well as being original in its own way, it even manages to try and implement new ideas that I personally have not seen before in this genre like an efficient upgrading system and MOBA like ability use. You will have an absolute blast from beginning to end!

Asteroid Bounty Hunter is a 2D side scrolling shoot-em-up taking place in space. Developed by Just1337. Players will adventure across the galaxy fighting off bounty hunters and asteroids. The gameplay of Asteroid Bounty Hunter consists of dodging projectiles and destroying asteroids and enemy ships. Player will have 3 weapons at their disposal excluding their primary cannon. Each weapon differs from one another, and has their own upsides and downsides. Players can upgrade their ship and weapons to deal with harder levels. Players can play any level on various difficulties, and various modifiers to accumulate more experience. Asteroid Bounty Hunter does a few things right: * Extremely easy achievements * Fun/Simple game * Entertaining cutsceens * Varity in level design Asteroid Bounty Hunter does some things wrong: * Buggy * Slow/Basic story * Lack of variety of weapons * Not overly replayable Asteroid Bounty Hunter isn't a bad game, in fact, it's one of those rare small indie games that actually has some substance. At the cost of $3.29CDN, and almost always on sale, it's a fantastic "one and done" game, as well as a great game to 100%.

The title of this game basically tells you what this game is about: destroying asteroids as a bounty hunter. The story begins with an alcoholic loser named John. Despite having a messed-up life, he has the skill to shoot down asteroids with his ship known as Karma. The narrative is short on substance and the 2D cutscenes look cheesy and uninspired. The story’s lack of substance made me feel like the story is not that important. After the introduction to the story the game introduces you to the gameplay. The gameplay is a 2D space shooter in which your ship is in space taking on asteroids of all shapes and sizes frighteningly moving from right to left. The shapes of the asteroids range include rocks, lava looking, and liquid crystal looking asteroids. Shooting the large asteroids breaks them down to smaller ones. I thought that the gameplay would include powerups, but there are none. The gameplay is about farming your experience points and the game puts your experience points to good use with its upgrade system. The upgrade system is very easy to use and understand, but that does not mean that this game is easy in any way. There are four weapons available to use and the gameplay is very hard even at easy. Therefore, the game becomes insanely hard at the hard difficulty mode. I quickly learned that it is important to micromanage the four weapons and know when to use each weapon, especially during the hectic situations. Final blast, the most powerful weapon, can only be used sparingly in a level because of the long cooldown period. Therefore, you have use the fourth and most powerful weapon when you feel like you are about to be overwhelmed. Each level is complicated by the rival bounty hunters that join the asteroids. They have different patterns of attack and they must be defeated quickly before you get overwhelmed. You must use experience points to upgrade your character and your ships. The main objective is to shoot down a fixed number of asteroids. As you advance from one level to the next, you must destroy a larger number of asteroids to survive. Every fifth level includes a boss battle. Each boss battle is very challenging and they offer different patterns of attacks. I had to study their patterns of attacks very carefully. In addition, your defense is as important as your offense. If you rely too much on your attacks against the bosses, they will tear your defense too shreds in a hurry. If you feel like a boss is too difficult to defeat you can replay a prior level so that you can farm more XP to build your player level and mastery level for your shipyard. Bounty hunters leave behind green balls for you to pick up so that you can improve your mastery level. There is no penalty for letting asteroids get by you and sometimes you must do that in the most chaotic situations. However, after finishing all 25 levels and farming my experience points at player level 250 for a Steam achievement, the game felt repetitive. Therefore, I do not think there is much replay value after reaching a high player level and a high ship mastery level. I was hoping for mouse support for this game, but I was satisfied with the keyboard controls. The keyboard controls are well mapped for the directional movements of the ship and for the use of the ship’s weapons. Graphically, the game looks gorgeous. There is a lot of brightness on the moving planets and the asteroids look diverse enough as you progress from one level to the next. Each level also looks different enough than the previous. The planets look different in each level. I did not find any graphical glitches. Your attacks with beams, rays, and missiles all look beautiful while your enemy bounty hunters are also firing their weapons. The music is a part of every level and every battle of the game and fits in with the game quite nicely. All songs are from the dance electronic genre. One good addition to the music of the game is the ability to add your own music. However, you are limited to only .ogg music files. It would have been better if the game had allowed more music file formats. Asteroid Bounty Hunter is a decent 2D space shooter with a simplistic upgrade system, but very challenging gameplay, even at the easiest difficulty mode. The story is lame and ridiculous. The background of each level in space is beautiful and the soundtrack is immersive. If you like dance electronic music, you will like the music in every level of the game. However, the replay value eventually wears down after farming enough experience points. It took me about 10 hours of playing to level up to player level 267. There are probably better space shooters on the market, but I think that this game is worth a try if you like shooting down asteroids and improving your abilities by using RPG features. My Score: 6.5/10
