About This Game Cryptark is a 2D roguelike shooter that challenges players with boarding and neutralizing procedurally generated alien starships to earn income for their Privateering enterprise. Purchase improved equipment and weapons to tackle more dangerous targets, but be cautious as failure will result in a loss of investment and profit. The decaying alien arks will defend themselves from intruders with a wide arsenal of cyborg monstrosities, robotics, and security systems, all obstacles that must be surpassed to achieve victory, the destruction of the ship’s central System Core. Complex, procedurally generated alien space-hulks to board and defeat.Challenging, re-playable campaign that tests your strategy and tactics.Over 70 weapons and items, including frag-cannons, tractor-beams, flamethrowers and nukes.High-score leader boards to rank your skills.Fully lip-synced voice acting brings your fellow shipmates to life.Blood-pumping soundtrack perfect for intense firefights.Game Wiki: http://cryptark.gamepedia.com/Cryptark_Wiki b4d347fde0 Title: CRYPTARKGenre: Action, Adventure, Indie, StrategyDeveloper:AlientrapPublisher:AlientrapRelease Date: 20 Jun, 2017 CRYPTARK Usb Download Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this game based on how it overall left more of a negative taste in my cranial mouth than a positive one. The graphical effects are great but the biggest problems with this game are the following:The lack of contrast makes it hard to delineate what you can and can't interact with\/be harmed by (apparently there is a sort of low-quality graphics option that I only learned later is preferable to the standard settings, so if you get the game, use that).The walls of the ship were also weird and annoying to navigate, with some jutting out and others forming tunnels you can't traverse through. There doesn't really need to be a timer when there is already the pressure of self-reviving factories, so a timer on top of all of that creates horrible unnecessary pressure to rush. If the clients want bonuses, they can be easily decided by retrieval of various objects throughout the ship. The RNG is downright nasty sometimes. Based on your loadout, there are literally unwinnable situations depending on what enemy systems shield what, which can render the whole enemy ship invincible.Here's also a weird issue: enemies traveling in space outside the ship with you, yet suddenly not harming you at all just because you're in fast-flying form, despite flak turrets going for you. Then the moment you enter through an airlock, they go ballistic while you've barely had time to change back to your fighting form.In general, everything feels just a bit too bathtub-y. There was once an old saying about how piloting a hovercraft is like trying to steer a bathtub. The physics have a certain feel of fluidity that came off as too excessive to me and reduced the overall experience instead of enhancing it.TL;DR: the gun-play and voice-acting are impressive but almost everything else gets in the way..

Really want to like this game, love twin stick shooters, and the graphics and controls are good too (well, good enough). I guess what I'm missing is a compelling story; the game just feels like I'm doing someone's job rather than actually having fun blasting through alien derelicts. No space to learn and retry, as you'll be out of money in no time, just in good ol' real life, so I'm not recommending this especially for that reason..
