Wow… Did you even play this game? There is no such thing as exp in this game. You have different classes like you said, but you go up levels by performing certain actions. For instance the sharpshooter needs to make x amount of headshots to go up to the next level. Each level then gives bonuses when using that class. Bonuses are anything from extra ammo capacity to recoil reduction or cheaper prices in the store.

You also failed to mention that each “game” is split up into 11 waves. Each of 10 waves getting progressively harder until the final wave when the “boss” come, aided with a bunch of his minions.

The slow mo is annoying at times, but it is earned through placing tricky headshots or slicing off heads with a melee weapon. This slow down gives a HUGE advantage for anyone as it allows them to line up multiple shots and take out a ton of creatures quickly.

You really should review a game by playing through a bunch of it. Not spending two hours as the medic and then sitting down to write a review. If you had actually played this game it would have gotten 5 out of 5 stars. My Steam account can attest to this game being great (currently sitting at 103 hours played… Most of my friends have even more time invested).

Don’t count on me recommending this site to anyone for reviews EVER, if you can’t even play a game before you review it. Shame on you!

LOL! Yea, Watts, shame on you for giving four (and not five) stars to a game that some guy played a lot. =))) You’ve brought ruin to us all, because that guy will not recommend our site to anyone. EVER.

I played Starflight for over 100 hours in one week on my Amiga. Same with M1 -Tank Platoon and Battle Isles.

AVault’s goal is not to detail every detail and nuance of a game we review. Our goal is to provide a short and easily read review aimed and letting our readers know if a game is worth their money, or if it should be skipped.

A 5/5 rating assumes that a game is practically flawless or was so enjoyable, and flaws are overlooked. Everything we do is subjective on our own opinions and not influenced by peer-reviews or ratings websites like Metacritic.

I encourage you to read more reviews and see the variety of authors and reviews we offer before you dismiss the entire website.

I personally thought Watt’s review was adequate and did a good job supporting the game and the developer with a 4/5 “Buy It” rating. As a fan of the survival-horror genre I’d be more likely to purchase this game after reading his review.

@Jeoff –I did play this game for more than two hours and the medic was my favorite class. I didn’t play 103 hours but I played more than enough time required by avault to write a review. Booth above summed it up clearly in regards to you saying I failed to mention the game split up into waves.
