Review: I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised with Constellation Distantia. For the price, I thought this wasn’t going to be up to much, but this story-driven adventure/strategy game does have a lot going for it. First up it does have a pretty good storyline that you can get drawn into and while the action isn’t as good as Elite Dangerous, I felt it was a more casual, arcade action style to it which makes the game flow a little better.
Sure, there isn’t much hand-holding here and that can leave you feeling confused as to the storyline and what to do, but once you get into it i was playing it for a good hour or two and for just £3.99 I felt I did get my money’s worth. While it will be a little too slow for most peoples taste it was my cup of tea. But as with any review that is just my option, if you have a different one let me know in the comments below.
