Earth From Another Sun

Anime Waifus and Sexualised Women.

If the game in its final product has half naked women next to iron clad super soldiers, I am going to be one less customer. And I sure am not alone. I personally don't mind naked women, but I have something against it in a battlefield, where they are supposed to be armored. I find the whole concept of half naked women in war very immersion breaking....

Not worth the money

I bought into the game early on, from their website. The early versions looked promising. It was basically Mount & Blade, but in space. You had randomized loot, battles were worth fighting, missions from space stations (that you could walk around in), and missions with differing and varied rewards. There was an actual reason to do different mission types and it felt very rewarding. Sure, it didn't have multiplayer (which was promised to come later), but the game was fun. Fast forward to today and I f...

Red flags all over this one

Mentions of NTFs, a need to register to an account, mod closing all the threads that ask difficult questions... I have not seen so many red flags since... I can't even remember. This looks like a scam. I might be wrong but one should be careful. I'm not creating an account to play a demo. Avoid.

Stongly recommend the devs to refocus or drop this.

I took a few days to play the current alpha and oh boi were do i start. First the game feels a little unfocused, you can gather from the spacecraft and there is a wait to travel to missions or items to gather... Why? this feels like something a phone game would do to get you to buy the save time and get there quick pack. Combat feels off, nothing feels like it has weight and skills range from sparkly to goodbye everyone on the field. Leading troops has no point, they glue themselves to you or y...

Didn't this use to be a singleplayer game?

As the title suggests, i remember buying this game for the single player aspect and had it for a while now. It's been easily two years since I checked in and now I see it's labeled as an MMO? What happened? I honestly feel kind of jaded because the hyped up this big single player experience and now I'm reading about needing accounts and such. Any official news on this?...
