Today, Frontier Foundry has unveiled the release date for their upcoming sci-fi adventure game, Deliver Us Mars, releasing on September 27th.
Deliver Us Mars developer Keoken Interactive has laid off the majority of its staff after struggling to secure funding …
The industry model and standards and who's in place to approve/disapprove have changed ^ what Keoken is feeling now is much like the Mobile burst 15 years ago. Expect more to come out of your own finances. Investors are treating games like movies and now (thank$ a lot for involving yourself hollywood) only the big (and money blind) investors get involved, effectively killing a lot of content that would come out with proper non-gate-kept and/or with incentivized funding.
Sorry but i couldn't care less, Deliver us Mars was as woke game as they come, climate change disaster, all female cast plus only a comic relief indian guy (it takes only 5 minutes into the game for the main female character to say how smart she is compared to the guy), evil white guys, ugly females, then add generic gameplay and puzzles (how many times do you have to cut things with a laser for gods sake), you can't change anything in how the events develop so 0 agency in the story, sub par graphics even while using UE4. So well, go woke go broke, that's how it works.
That stinks but with a 68 average critic rating on their games probably made it difficult for people to invest considering there is a bloat of games getting made these days.
Happy Thanksgiving! The Epic Game Store's weekly free game is live now.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "If nothing else, Deliver Us Mars fares better at being an engaging sci-fi action-adventure despite missing several of the most typical genre tropes. Before venturing towards our neighboring planet, KeokeN evaluated its predecessor's limited & mismanaged design to find a better balance in its combat-less, human-centered tale. But is that enough on its own? Because while its new storytelling and gameplay tools feel more finely-tuned, nothing ever really feels utterly enthralling either. I felt more passion for some of its obnoxious bugs than Kathy's admittedly-tangible drama. And like her building uncertainty as she neared the conclusion, it’s tough not to feel the same."
Looks good but needs more optimization
September is pack!My wallet...the pain!
Interesting concept. Intrigued
This doesn't look interesting at all. Feels like I've played games like this many times. Red faction comes to mind when I look at this game.
