Dec. 2024

At first, I didn't really like this game. A big reason for that is the game does a poor job of explaining what each weapon does and how certain mechanics work. Additionally, the default ships are fairly underwhelming, which can make it feel like most of them don't have much of a niche. However, once I replayed the game, spent time making custom ships, and did lots of playtesting with them, I was able to understand what everything does. This game is very fun once you know what you're doing and built your own fleet. The campaign is the weakest point of the game. Its real strength comes from the ship editor, map editor, bonus missions, etc. You should just play the campaign to learn the CW lore, while the real experience starts *after* the campaign. It's an excellent game that just does a poor job of advertising its strengths to you.

It's basically creeper world but in space. It's good if you like creeper world. It also probably takes place in the same universe as the creeper world stuff. is what i thought before i got past level 15. anyways. there's more text exposition than normal creeper world games, so if you don't like that then you might not enjoy the story as much.

This is my favourite Knuckle Cracker Creeper World type game. It is surprising how good this game is considering how complex the mechanics are. I am still playing the custom levels to this day.

Better than Creeper World. No! That's heresy... but it's so addictive. Was just gonna try it out for 15 minutes before dinner. 3 hours later the sun is down and my belly is still growling! Played another 4 hours and had to add more accolades to this review: Seriously well-made game. Each map in story mode (which is basically a fun tutorial for the multitude of ships you can build) has a few start locations with different difficulty / rewards, so replay is possible. You can also post your time against ALL other players (as with the creeper games) The author's honed his craft through the excellent Creeper World series to the point where in Particle Fleet, it actually feels like you're positioning military assets in battle. The enemy reacts to your moves in this game, requiring more strategy including tactical withdrawals. (or perhaps I'm just not good at the game yet). The ships you control, while increasing each level, are limited so you need to protect different front lines and use your upgrades to match your play-style. I've been putting everything into defence so I can survive, but I'm sure pro-players could go full aggro instead. After some more time, I wasn't good enough to beat the final story mission, so I tried the random map generator. Nice that you can choose a more relaxing difficulty. I also tried some download maps, but couldn't find easy ones. There are many ways to search maps, but I couldn't find sort-by-difficulty. I still need to try out ship design.

March 2024

This game is a masterpiece. the ships feel like they would be real, it all feels polished, and every level does not feel unfair to play. creating a new ship feels nice, and it feels very satisfying to see it actually work. this game is one of my favourite games and you should get this game. and knuckle cracker, PLEASE make another particle: fleet emergence game. I am here on my hands and knees begging you to make another game.
