*Warning: spoilers* Fun but mediocre little game
Space Siege is a fun little game.
It has a Cliché story, about Kerak aliens attacking your ship and you must kill them and their alien leader boss. Classic stuff. On your adventure you get betrayed many times by your fellow humans and of course, the princess is always in another castle, and you must save her. For the price, one does not complain about it.
The graphics are generic but not terrible. There is not much to say about it. It is fine. The overhead view is nice to look at fits the RPG style of the game.
The sound effects are kind of lame tough, and the music is boring.
In terms of combat and skills, I liked the hoarding of parts that you can get for killing enemies and destroying crates. You use them to upgrade your skills and to create cyborg implants that replace your body parts, so you become stronger (and creepier).
The weird thing is that Space Siege should be a play/parody to Dungeon Siege but there is not one reference to that game anywhere. The style of the game, the title and the studio developing it are all the same, but any Easter eggs or lore to it is not present.
Although I just said that you must not expect too much from the price, the length of the game is surprisingly short. I roamed every corner of the game and still did not manage to last more than six hours. Also, the game is way, way too easy. The skills and upgrades make you invincible. I never died once and always drowned in health kits.
The ending is fair but, again, nothing special.
In conclusion: Space Siege is not a bad game, but it surely is not a big classic or something. I had fun with it that is what matters to me.
I recommend it for the low price and the six hours of fun it can give you.
