Will there be a monster behind that house you are heading to? Or are you close to an area of deadly poison? At the beginning, that made me progress slowly. What makes Lifeless Planet so special is that when you don’t read up on it before playing, you really have no idea of what to expect. Creating an atmosphere with the bare minimum The landscape by night held no details for me, and at times I had to refer to a YouTube walkthrough to see where I should go. Even though I put the settings to “Brighten Dark Areas” I couldn’t see a thing in some areas. There is an issue with the Switch version that really bugged me, at least when you play the game in handheld like I do. The vibration made such a noise I almost dropped my Switch! In options you can disable Vibration which I quickly did. And most of all, thinking logically helps a lot to solve the puzzles.Īs your spaceship lands you best make sure you are not playing the game in the train where lots of commuters are napping. The buttons control your jet-pack, which is essential, a mobile robotic arm comes in handy too. It takes some getting used to, I’m so used to using A! To continue the game, to take any action.
Normally I don’t often write in reviews about controls in a game, but these really surprised me. I’ve walked on ropes where I thought I would surely fall as I’m not so steady, but I did perfectly. At first I was a bit scared to jump, but it’s like the game wants you to succeed. When you find extra jetpack fuel, you can be sure there are some huge jumps to make. The game is really good in making sure you have what you need to progress. You start to get familiar with your abilities in jumping and moving things. It’s clear there is a sort of path to follow, luckily. The log entries are voiced by our astronaut, the docs you find from the Russian settlers are voiced in Russian! It surprised me and I really liked that, very accurate to the storyline. Be sure to look everywhere for the log-entries in the form of a bright spot to learn more about the story. Stumbling upon the Soviet-era village your find you first clue. Pretty soon you are on your way, taking guesses about where to go. Once it’s almost gone you will find a new supply soon. But rest assured, the oxygen depleting is hardly ever a problem. Figure it out for yourself, as this game doesn’t hold your hand. You find yourself stranded in a sort of desert, your fellow astronauts are nowhere to be seen and you are in dire need of oxygen. Not just that, but the voice of your astronaut will be your guide during the game. Be sure to pay attention, as there are many clues to the eventual storyline in there. When the game starts out, you hear an interview with our astronaut when he was still back on earth. Did his light-speed travel to the planet send him back in time? Or is this all some strange Cold War hoax? Until a mysterious young woman saves him from a strange and deadly phenomenon. When he goes searching for his crew, he makes a more startling discovery: evidence that humans have already been to this planet years ago! When he comes upon a deserted Soviet-era Russian town, he struggles to make sense of his mission. What happened here that changed the surface of the planet so much? They had been travelling faster then the speed of light and still were travelling for a long time in stasis. I felt this might be the game for me! The StorylineĪfter a hard landing on the planet they were heading for, the astronaut discovers the planet that was reported to be rich with life is instead a barren wasteland.
Not the horror stories like Alien or such, but I’m more partial to the exploration kind. Being a Star Trek fan for almost 50 years now, I can safely say I like Sci-Fi stories. Seeing the description of Lifeless Planet in the Nintendo eShop my interest was piqued. “In Lifeless Plant, the player must use wits and skill to solve puzzles, unravel the mystery, and survive the Lifeless Planet!”
