I had played for many years a great game called Hades Star. It was available on steam and on Android.

Amazing game, I loved the pace, the PvP (white stars, 5v5 up to 15v15 clan wars) and most specially the collaborative pve (red stars).

It had a unique feeling and, while the grind was real (delivering cargo, yuk) it was manageable to a level where you was trying to compete with other players to who was more good at it.

Then the idiot Dev decided to kill it for an “upgrade” called Dark Nebula: gameplay changed a lot, old players where forced to the new game, but feeling was totally different.

Player base dropped quickly, corporations (clans) went empty and collapsed, general gameplay was not fun anymore.

The Dev ignored most complaints and warning from users to achieve “his” view of the game.

The game is now dead to me.

Anybody played it? What did you guys moved to?

    Nobody AFAIK. I would like to start something tough. Doesn’t need to share name or resources, just the feeling, the space theme, the PvP and specially coop pve approach…

      Let me know if you do. Haven’t ever done any game dev, but I’m mostly a programmer, so maybe I can help with it.
