First impressions by Azazell

[Azazell]

Hello,

First of all I would like to say thank you to developers for accepting me into beta version of Pandora First Contact. I have already spent some time with the game and here are my impressions and opinions.

Pandora is very interesting and hard to let go when you start playing it. Just after first run I have felt like in heaven. It reminds me good old times with Alpha Centauri and other space strategy games, like Galactic Civilization 2. Interface is interesting - I really hope the final version of game will be available in Polish language too.

The interface reminds me that from Civilization V, which is good thing, because thanks to it game is accessible and pleasing. All options and their descriptions are placed good. But I am missing something like Civilization 3 isometric city view, where you can check and look at the city after growing and building it up. It would be really nice and cool feature!

Now the music. In the game menu it is awsome: calm and climatic. Same goes for game, but there are some track too heavy for strategic game and they would fit better action title instead of Pandora. That is my opinion. Also I really hope to hear more tracks similar to the main menu theme.

In my opinion Pandora First Contact can be really great hit and it can even throw the glove to Civilization series or other games in 4X genre. My opinion is based only on few first minutes in game. After some longer sessions I will write again with some additional thoughts.

Also: I have some questions and I will be really glad if you can answer me. Is there any chance to be put into Credits?

I can help with more technical issues if needed. How long the beta will be going? It will help me to organize my time , because I have enjoyed Pandora and would like to spend in game as much time as I can.

How many technologies are planned to be in game?

Best Regards,
Tomasz “Azazell” Bielski
