Drone Swarm (Part 1) | Space Swarm Simulator (Streamed Oct 21, 2020)

hello welcome back to the stream so today we're doing a little game by the name of drone swarm it's a game i played previously when it was a demo but now the full game's out or rather the game was out yesterday so i figured you know what i want to play a bit of it it seems like a cool game seems a cool game cool time there we go immediately into the game how does that look looks fine right so i haven't started a game i have played through the prologue but i'll just do through it normally also this is a nice touch oh wait uh you can't see my mouse can you hold on a second i want this and i want to capture cursor there you go now you can see my mouse you can see like yeah that's a nice touch it's not it's not much of anything really but just a nice touch oh whoops there's my actual mouse alright new game january 21st 211 a date i will never forget the day the sphere appeared in our orbit we were not ready out of options we unleashed every nuke we had we only succeeded in destroying our own planet boys with bows and arrows the last remnants of earth tried to resist tried to survive so did my brother and i but it was hopeless yet we kept fighting until that one fateful day when he subconsciously transferred his soul into a drone turns out aiden was the key because of him eva sensed our way out through the sphere she initiated the great sacrifice 32 000 human psionics merged their soul into the swarm that day now hours to command we used the swarm to rebuild but it was too late earth was lost eva studied the sphere with her powers and found a way to build our first interstellar ship the argo powered by the sphere protected by the swarm on it 32 000 human souls locked in stasis but power attracts power and the four were drawn to the energy of the sphere they could not have it the swarm it was like trying to control a tornado some say we should have died along with our planet i say this is our chance to start anew my name is carter captain of the argo and we will find new earth yeah so that's the opening to the game we just entered a new cluster and are ready for scanning captain i hope we find a suitable planet fast earth is running out of time we need a new home all right uh engage unknown vessel this is the argo cease fire we come in peace no response captain battle stations activate the attack drone and draw a path the drones will follow and destroy everything in their way so cue and i draw a line so this is kind of how the gameplay runs you select different abilities and then you sort of draw a line in the swarm forms from like the shell protecting your ship and follows the line so it's a really cool balance between like offense and defense whoops i completely missed the swarm is ripping them apart yeah die alien scum more energy signatures remember carter you can use the swarm defensively as well yeah so now i can press w to create a defensive shield or yeah the drones will form a wall that stops incoming projectiles and more like that and of course the wall will have to reform so you can't rely on that purely for defense you knew need to do no stuff for me let's go here and here oops lasers die alien scum god damn it let me do this just right along the path of movement that was it there we go i don't feel particularly welcome the galaxy map provides an overview of systems you've discovered and systems the argo you can jump to click on the system to get more information about it [Music] so let's see newly acquired module the psionic burst projector shoots a beam that arcs between targets [Music] and the railgun shoots targets in a tight fixed angle okay i've got upgrades which i can't really apply yet oh i can actually oh right i pre-ordered the game which gave me these upgrades so let me uh let's try out the railgun see how it looks that's kind of goofy how about the sonic burst projection okay let's go with this i feel like that won't be too busted ah you can actually select difficulty how about that cool okay so there's a lot of changes from the uh base game so far well not that many yet i'm kind of seeing little bits and pieces that are different but it's just mostly polish and cleanup exploration scan the system and every new system after it me we can find an earth candidate threat level one blue nebula no system-wide effect i have to wonder though like obviously these ones because they're sort of story based are gonna be captain there's already someone here sensors are showing it's the same type of ship that attacked the argo back at earth ah okay i was saying like uh obviously these early ones are going to be all set because there's story missions but like i'm wondering if there's going to be a bunch of procedural ones later on or if they're all like pre-built let's go send us a message you are in full territory leave or be fired upon this is bad news captain we cannot leave without scanning the system we have to defend ourselves no idle threat that's it it could have been worse he just had to say something i just had to jinx it sure did okay now that's one dead all right now i want to see something here because last time i was able to do this so if i draw a line right here let me see if this works let's do what we came for and leave it totally works so what i did there was um alaska can i okay so that is a problem i actually had with the game initially it didn't sort of indicate when you were too close and this thing does now it actually indicates like this is the line where if you draw within it it won't happen because this is sort of the drone zone of control and if i draw a line like that the drone will not apply to it they'll try to but they won't okay so they fixed that that's good that's good can its atmosphere gas composition is not suitable to sustain human life the sphere has unlocked more of its secrets when exposed to this particular location captain i've finished compiling the data on the enemy it's the vore they're indeed the ones who attacked us back home and who are technologically superior to humanity highly advanced still no match for us right aiden indeed brother anyway their ships are heavily armored and employ high-tech missile-based weaponry what we have thanks to the drones is our maneuverability so let's use that to our advantage these story bits are new as well all right where are we going two days since leaving earth i killed frigates and such so i got xp which are used to upgrade the drone swarm move to the hell system one thing i do like about this is that the vore again already in position hell yeah a welcome community just for us oh they shouldn't have so one thing i do like about this is that it kind of has i've never been very good at rts games like i played an odd bit of starcraft i played like a little bit of um warcraft i played like a couple odd other ones like grey goo for example but i've never been very good at them because like i always kind of want to go like okay move here move here move here do that but then i've never been really good at like the mech the micro management part of it and the macro management and the building and the placement well really the placement was about all i had but then any control after that immediately falls apart so what i really like about this is that it kind of feels like an rts in the way i have to sort of like position my drone sort of manage where they are manage like shield positions for them manage like defensive positions attack positions that sort of thing but it takes a lot of the like needlessly not needless i guess it is part of the game but it takes a lot like the really fiddly bits away so it's easier for me to sort of comprehend what i'm doing and get a hold of what i'm taking care of here it's it's i guess it would have to be like it's like what dota is to warhammer or not warhammer warcraft it's like what dota is to warcraft but in the other direction of rts that's what it feels like almost let's try this again this is the argo we're here to scan the system's planets nothing else but we will defend ourselves you are trespassing without permission of our empress we cannot tolerate that i'm under the impression that this will become a running themes more enemies folding in oh yep yep all right let's get some of these got him i can turn off these two shields now put that one there yeah system clear i really like just being able to use their own missiles against them that's a nice trick okay i got a swarm upgrade cool [Music] don't have any of this and i can't upgrade the swarm yet so nothing i can do there can i go back to this no no i can't it's only forward progress all right this the census show of warship being attacked by someone else i'm translating this new faction's language hopefully we have more luck with them engage unknown vessel this is the argo do not fire we come in peace of course you are just like the last ship that pretended not to be hostile we will not fall for the same four trick twice can i do this no i can't oh it's worth a shot cancel that die die aware of their lasers if the swarm diminishes they will punch right through oh i'm aware i can see our hull integrity going down yeah thanks i'm aware i can see them right there oh there's more of him now let's take care of that one can i get you there christ now that it's over who exactly were those aliens well yeah okay plant soil composition is so different it's unusable we found a strange energy reading that really sets out some of the spheres memory encoding unveiling some secrets and i got the cascade laser carter can you feel it your psionic power is growing i might be able to use that to teach the swarm new capabilities great we need any edge we can get how about the argo anything we can do with the alien components we salvaged so far well after the appropriate research has been conducted likely reverse engineering some of the technology should be viable so we might retrofit the argo with it just imagine the possibilities yeah okay i'm i'm good i'm good with that do you want three days since leaving earth is now four new swarm skill learned cannonball so this one is kind of annoying to deal with from what i remember you have to um hold down the button and then fire it in a direction in order to get the swarm to do anything still can't afford any upgrades i have to jump to the mist system in hospital container stranded on the other side of this asteroid field if we carefully push it towards the argo we might be able to retrieve it yeah this one integrity is decaying best not to waste any more time yeah this one's kind of goofy okay so i gotta wait until the drones arrive which is part of the problem i can't just like set it to do a specific amount okay let's do how about this oh i missed the thing okay so now let's see if i can point it this direction boom into the drop zone please thank you are you for real it had to be like in the drop zone in the drop zone oh god okay let's just okay okay it's just gonna float i guess cool oh my god are you serious just push a little push it a little that way and then i'll push it like this as soon as it comes into range okay there we go perfect we got it the container itself is worth a study as well i wasn't expecting these things to block my bullet also is the game really that loud like huh [Music] test uh yeah i guess it is kind of low not that loud but this kind of i know that that audio level should be good for it oh my god i didn't realize like my headphones it's it's like a normal audio level for me when i'm talking but my headphones are on four percent so this game is pretty loud i guess okay let's go in here the wall skills now will now slow down or outright stop ships that pass through it oh hell yeah hell yeah that's what i want we'll jump right into an ongoing battle with a bit of luck they'll ignore us and we can scan for suitable planets without any interference we're jumping right into the middle of them though so much for that guess we have to finish this fight before we can start the scanning process the is this survive encounter and defeat the darshan forces let's do this ah damn i missed okay that's not gonna work uh how about 75 how about our whole this is down to 50 percent i can tell i can tell it hurts whole integrity is a 25 protect the argo look it's hard okay really want this station destroyed and does we have to be mindful of those heavy lasers perhaps we can disrupt them with a cannonball attack and thus resetting their lasers okay good to know laser deals heavy damage ignores walls needs to be interrupted got it done presence detected more vessels are coming in just keep going keep them going keep them going just take it out take it out keep it going keep it going what are you serious just keep them going keep them going there we go the station is not attacking us but they're also not responding really we don't even get a thank you they're transmitting a signal to a nearby system how about we check it out after we finish our scans here oh god that was a lot of damage hebrew sports the sphere however has unlocked more of its secrets cool this new faction is known as the dashan and appears to be at war with the vore their engine and weapon systems look advanced but their whole seems low-tech in comparison given the few high-tech components they maintain i conclude that the dashan were provided those parts by another civilization i wonder who that might have been in contrast to the vore they employ energy-based weapons they also prefer to employ hit and run tactics rather than a straight fight probably because of their fragility we'll have to find a way to counter that ah and this is when i unlock the uh slow shield wall thing yeah i got a skill point newly available skill ensnare the wall skill will now slow or outright stop ships that pass through it realize that everything is connected the drones may further interlink in a wall structure disturbing any physical impulse crossing its way and that costs one point yay this kind of didn't seem to do anything so uh whatever i'll keep it on scan the possible new earth system in elevation or elbow see this one what do i get from this arc strike charge attack drones click and hold to a point release for a high-powered attack that expands from the charge point oh that's cool that's real cool okay let's hit up um i can see how far i have to go in this system let's hit up mire then i won't be able to afford arc strike but at the very least i can get some place with it increase damage and rate of fire increase and hospital different energy signatures yet another faction i think we've met them before should we investigate they say third time's a charm maybe this time we won't have to shoot them to survive that guy's voice sounds real familiar fyi there's a hazard cloud in the area perhaps this was made from the remnants of whatever ship they acquired now they're targeting us unprovoked i might add deploys two laser beams simultaneously energy signatures no life signs the rogue ai ah circles around its pay periodically deploys explosive missiles easy to kill interesting i should probably take out the raiders and then the scouts actually no scouts scouts hurt more the walls are always so slow to form our hole is down to 75. she's already careful our whole integrity is down to 50 percent you're not going anywhere surprisingly strong offensive for such a fragile vessel so factually aggressive junk hmm i wonder if it's actually possible to even turn the ship because it's just been pointing in that one direction like does it actually do anything and i got the art strike upgrade check that out that's pretty cool looking i cannot afford it because it costs one and i don't even have one but you know it's it's there that's meyer let's try aorus threat level two regenerating armor huh is that me or them because if it's me that's good but if it's them can't they comprehend that they're inferior to the swarm fighting can't they come fyi okay well where whoa what holy needs to be interrupted okay can i like boom headshot okay let's push this into the thing and into the into the storm with you does that work is that working i can't tell if it's working or not and how about this is that i think it's disabling the weapons and stuff but not actually damaging them which is a little a little disappointing okay so let's do this okay huh that one was a little awkward the shield seemed like it was destroying my stuff in addition okay so let's put a shield there defensively let's put this here okay well the ai's back that's nice our hole is down to 75 i'm aware it's just a little awkward to do this with this ship how do i deal with that shield exactly i guess i have to just huh what is the best way to deal with that shield again this rogue ai can't they comprehend okay let's do this watch out for it i can zoom out a little bit that's useful okay that's the cruiser let's see if i shove the ship like this there we go and now i can just go in like this on them boy no easy peasy a little shield there seems like they're coming over this way so i'll just draw one there all right so now you are going to get punched this away like that like this there we go just took a little took a little thinking to get it there and now i can afford that upgrade yeah see that's a risk level two this is risk level three okay and over here vor and deshawn huh okay um i guess the choice here would be go for this one with the tech and then wait to see what it is because i might want to use my upgrade point for that over the arc thing sensors show an ongoing attack on another station let's hope we don't get dragged into it again oh so much for that and scouts an enemy marked enemies take increased damage interesting all right you better not attack me there we go some of their ships employ a destabilizing beam we should eliminate those first otherwise they could cause us serious problems okay duly noted what's a destabilizing beam though signatures detected oh my god okay i'm taking some damage here i'll go hull integrity 75 we should salvage the wreckage of that station for the data cores this is strange there's a system called gateway but we were only able to recover half of the coordinates gateway this sounds promising i'm glad you think so also you're welcome vore guy at least he helped fight that one ship gateway is probably the gateway to the next system uh damage energy conduits damage down to the argo charges the sphere fully charged instantly repairs a large amount of drones excess repairs the argo okay so if uh if i'm losing drones i take a lot of damage i can instantly just get all the drones back or potentially repair the argo itself okay so walls dissipate later the swarm pool deals heavy damage to enemy vessels it touches but single drones get a gain a chance to die in the process okay interesting very interesting permanent upgrade damage and energy conduits i must also use this thing i feel like i'm going to get a better version of that as i go this is probably the next one i need to go in order to get to gateway which is that one right there which will take me to the next set of systems that's my hunch what's good though immovable is useful what i wish though is faster walls faster walls is what i really want orb of power this is a threat level two this is a threat level two regenerating armor periodic emp pulses let's go with this to extract the data and transfer it to the sphere and you can transfer it from there into the argos mainframe that sounds great let's try that fyi there's a hazard cloud in the area watch out for it let us be careful about directing the swarm around those clouds geez that's a lot of cloud actually all right let's go you will regret stealing from us may the you truly watch over our victory detected more vessels are coming in oh yeah yeah okay this is bad and knock that one out we're down to 75 whole integrity yeah thanks i get it it's a little hard though god ah we're already down to 50 percent hull integrity there now start taking care of these things uh okay i am taking okay let's just get you into there what are you serious there geez i can take the data there we go even more are you serious ah jesus christ oh this is terrible we got the information we needed let us leave yes please what are you okay i see how it works now though there's useful data in this oh please die are you god damn it what the hell is going on there ah i'm aware it's hard these lasers are busted where's that healing thing even more to the swarm in here please i just got to keep these two away because these ones i can actually deal with okay i am regenerating armor just very slowly we got the information yes please let's leave god damn it huh in retrospect that thing does not seem worth it small ring gives me orb of power threat level two let's go it says rogue ai again we still know little about it i yearned for some time to study them but unless it where are they where are they we're down to 75 christ already okay get both of these dead right now okay get that wall there okay we're done if we allow that laser to charge up we're going to have huge problems i'm sure of it oh what is this circles around its prey what else does it do shoots emp missiles to disable drones easy to kill cool ah god damn it get over here just get over here kill that kill that kill kill him come kill him get oh my god all right and get away okay and turn you to the left and now i can just go in oh god there's more where are they where are they where are they okay so put a wall there the swarm is taking heavy damage okay oh god oh no i'm going to take a hit captain protect the argo now we're at 15 i'm aware christ lay off me it's hard got it okay good what what i guess it wasn't yeah thanks i noticed those lasers just tear me to shreds it's ridiculous energy signatures no life signs the rogue ai i'll go hull integrity 75 careful our whole integrity is down already down to 50 are you serious if we allow that laser to charge up we're going to have huge problems yeah thanks i'm aware yeah yeah i know about these ones okay they're going in that range careful captain we're at 25 what do you want me to do there okay okay what do we got what we got okay okay the swarm is being decimated yeah thanks not helpful stop this now what do you want me to do lady there's only so much i can do i can at least take this one out can i take this one out okay there's one wall okay that one's dead good okay where are these okay going along this line so let's put it right there oh god i have no walls left i have so little swarm left to protect me okay this is bad okay um this one right there the drone the drone swarm is just getting wrecked by these emps is what's going on oh no okay so that upgrade i got seems to do literally nothing like this upgrade does not do anything oh i see it has to fully charge it but if it's fully charged i'm already dead it's his rogue ai again i yearn for some time to study them but lesser cannot be yeah i'm aware let's see where are you gonna laser me from there okay i got through this without dying too much good if we allow that laser to charge up we're going to have huge problems i'm sure of it well yeah that's always been the case hasn't it off down to 75 hull integrity there okay good i'm at a better position than i was before which is a positive here so let's just place double lines here even the drones cannot withstand this punishment for long yeah i'm aware i'm working on it geez geez lady calm down okay those are the walls damn it oh that's not good it's getting close our hole is down to 25 am i dead oh me the swarm is being decimated i'm aware lady look it's rough here okay you try controlling this swarm with these things running around okay where's the missile no it's going to missile me in a second there's one there's one okay let's get rid of this one if i can there we go finally dead now i can focus on killing this thing let's put these walls right here or is it gonna shoot the next missile okay and now i can start killing it dead system cleared still want to study them either of course why would i not want to have the mind i should not be alive i think the game bugged i was at zero health magic pixel i should not be alive oh that one was real rough okay so next one's gonna be even harder because it's no system-wide but it's level three okay the the immovable does not seem worth it so i'm going to go for orba power and arc strike this is just passive when something touches me and arc strike is i guess i attack but then charge it down it's a little unclear let's hit it up captain this transporter belongs to the other alien species we met the dashan their ship seems to be stranded so let's hope they don't feel threatened when we jump in for our scans all right scanning process oh come on and stopped we've got incoming captain it's of all fleet they really have been killing each other for decades now according to my data the dasham were part of the war empire at some point but rebelled against them are also known for their ruthlessness and their disregard for civilian lives furthermore they seem to use bio weapons which appear to be especially efficient we're now in the middle of their war okay this one is one i did in the demo and it's bad why are people always calling it maybe we could give the asteroids towards them awesome let's try it oh my god is shield prevents attacks on the front shields disabled drones for a short duration yeah thanks i got i got all that the last time i fought a ship like this oh boy okay here we go let's try doing this hey nice okay um yeah just kill yourselves over there that's fine with me oops or not you wanna you wanna go in there any time yeah thanks i noticed okay um the swarm is being decimated it's mostly because of this upgrade i got and also okay let's see okay no actually this way you're gonna go this away oh my god am i gonna die to the asteroids yes i am to 50 hull integrity just trying to keep an eye on this thing so it doesn't accidentally smack into me oh those emp blasts are very frustrating brother i feel so powerless huh on the bright side i guess um sphere power has some benefits but also some downsides it protected me against the asteroids but also it kind of me up a little bit against the asteroids it's very salvage they point to a nearby system oh yeah just say the word and we can jump straight to it okay let's get the new earth candidate on darkling argos hull increased substantially god yes okay i can't jump to any of those systems so whatever give me that hull upgrade merchants and of all fleet captain by now i'm pretty sure they're going to drag us into their fight again so there's no point in trying to contact them fyi there's a hazard cloud in the area i see two of them so the vore attack even civilian vessels according to the boar all dash and ships are the enemy even the merchants strictly speaking they are responsible for equipping the deshaun with weapons and ammunition plays emp mines around the battlefield uh great uh that's great they were smart enough to run now that the boar are concentrating on us more vessels identified more folding signatures detected they are deploying some sort of mines best we avoid running the swarm through them yeah thanks great very helpful okay let's just do this they may not kill us but they can stun us for a while oh it's one of those ships again okay well first thing i take care of this thing there you go those are dead okay so let's get this swarm here push it right into that all right now you stop moving around so much i want you dead hey just come on just do it it's going around my shield so it's not like it has much to deal with there there hey done flicked up transmission remnants from the fleet working on deciphering them has yielded unexpected results i got another part of the coordinates for the gateway system there seems to be a connection to another cluster with new systems to scan these are good tidings our pool of scannable systems in this cluster is nearly exhausted looking for a way to another cluster seems like the logical choice doesn't it though ah yes nice uh argos hull increase substantially aliens are use entirely unknown alloys for their ships oh thank god something useful i don't know how useful because i can't actually see what my whole count is but you know whatever so i can go to sun parade and beltus which gives me the space bend field slows down all ships around the argo close range threat level three damages and rate of increase let's do that hopefully it's not a asteroid belt again but also asteroids we will not abandon our mission no matter how hopeless captain the asteroid wave will collide with us if we do not act swiftly okay this is going to be rough let's do it dashan presents detected dashan warp signatures detected our hull i'm aware look it's very hard these lasers are really strong keep it up survive in the asteroid field for that long huh ah great a new party protect the argo now where i these asteroids are real fast okay and those lasers hurt mining ships but also asteroids we will not abandon our mission no matter how captain let's do this guard my rear real quick you know where are those other ships where are they do they all die where'd they go keep it up yeah where okay they're on this side got it more vessels identified enemy reinforcements incoming just kill that one kill that one kill that one thank you sucker anything left can these stop asteroids incidentally like let me just try here they can they totally can stop asteroids good to know so let me just do a little uh little wall right there to protect me okay where we got the ship where's the ship oh great ai we're down to 75 hull integrity ah it's one of them nice idiot and we have their wrecks to salvage now all in all i'd say it was worth the trouble all right that went much better than the first time sphere power actually pretty decent if for no other reason then it makes it much easier for me to deal with these asteroid fields space ben field we were able to mimic the deshawn's ability to bend space time oh how how why does that go though like really just how how tight is that circle let's do sun parado this will be an easy one regenerating armor threat level one it might not even be combat they've set up a defense perimeter around the wrecks we have to break through according to our sensors they're repairing each other remote heart regeneration okay what am i doing here oh okay this one will be easy and there we go i wonder can i just like draw like this to do multiple hits all right seems like it cleared and the salvage op is almost complete wasn't much left anyways let's complete our scans and leave wait was that the signal they sent before their demise this one a set of coordinates i'll mark it on the map oh i got a new set of coordinates so doing the optional levels had a benefit besides xp i don't think this gave me much xp to begin with so hey ah it's it gave me buckler armor interference beam target's toughest enemy vessel substantially increasing damage done to it interesting all right let's see how that works i look forward to having a stronger ship because boy is it rough in some of these early ones oh we got some warships to be a real threat we should be fine may the stars smile upon us we will fight until our last breath aren't they for real how are they so confident okay where are they going captain they called in reinforcements an unknown ship is approaching i mean i don't know what you were expecting that seemed pretty obvious cruiser prototype crews are prototypes entirely surrounded by shields hostile war presence confirmed but if we push it into that cloud maybe it gets damaged enough can do chief all right let me just uh do this 75 all right let's uh let's have a little bit of fun here i'm aware listen it's uh it's hard okay yeah baby hey i really don't need to fight another one of those ever i can't me neither buddy me neither oh that's going to make things real annoying though yay armor interference beam targets toughest enemy vessels attach increasing damage to it i don't know what that is is it oh it's a new module okay so i got a little floating thing that's just gonna hang around i guess cool back to navigation threat level four oh boy wow it's already ratcheting it up without us everyone to their stations we're getting through that gateway no matter what okay what the hell is that i got we got some of these like scout ships and then you got that and what the hell's this what what is that see those platforms i think if we hit them all at once we can open the gate the gates open now well that was quick i'm out anchorage ah and so that's the next star cluster what just behold this it's amazing that we survived hell yeah just going through that gate was reckless sometimes we have to take risks kylie we won't save humanity by playing it safe all the time yes kylie commander earth just sent its last report radiation poisoning has reached redline the umf are doing their best to keep the peace and the order is trying to shelter as many citizens as they can but time is against us if we don't find a new planet soon there may be nobody left on earth to save this new cluster is our chance to turn things around but we need allies i'm sure we can find a way to solve our issues without these aliens we're the aliens here fighting our way to a new home would take us time time is a luxury we don't have a local ally would also know these clusters better than us they could lead us to a suitable planet easily let's approach the vore first then they rule the majority of this sector so chances are they already know of a planet we could use are you sure they'll even listen to us so far we've just been killing their soldiers they shall listen precisely because we killed their soldiers effortlessly i might add actually i'm pretty sure i can eva is right perfect timing then that the ball contacted us they asked to meet with us and discuss the truth a ceasefire with the vault would indeed simplify our circumstances let's meet him i was wondering if that was a time thing or a location thing it seems like it was a location thing given how i literally just jumped into this system to get that scene we've gotten a better understanding now of how this alien technology works with in-depth research we ought to be able to reverse engineer more of it for our own purposes okay sweeping torrent oh that's pretty useful that's really useful i could see that being handy what the hell's outer wall all right let's go there is some hidden information to be unlocked in this place carter okay so i need to disable these two locks real quick start hacking that and then i guess uh take care of this ai that's here too signatures detected holy crap where did all my drones go do they all really die to those things restart that battle because jesus christ i was not expecting that there is some hidden information to be on the i can sense all right their defenses are down make it count okay i guess he's doing this now ah my hole okay that's not going to work there is some hidden information to be unlocked in this okay let's go their defenses are down make it count yeah well those ones do that okay get that there we go can i send more in here to clean this up faster yes yes i can and we're good we're good yes please do because i'm still vulnerable at this point adjusting the off chance something else jumps in on me sweeping torrent let's do that emergency hull repair yes that seems incredibly useful absurdly useful i might even say jump to big hackle or whatever it was called [Music] these asteroids will be a pain to circumvent well not for long damn it okay just just take it just take it out just take it out here we go i do it i get it okay let's see i want to get this one here good good that one there and then get this one here too late too slow on that one damn it too slow hey i did it and with that emergency hull repair triggers once hull integrity below threshold god yes god yes all right i can't hit roots up that might be unlocked later so right now it's outer wall to the rescue of war training convoys putting out a distress call yes we're early all our senses are picking up is the civilian fleet wait someone's dropping in it's the dashan they're attacking the warships let's see protect mark targets okay yeah sure do not we're here to protect you you are thank the void they could easily push away small objects they catch like our drones stable drones in a wide area repairs itself sick get get over there get over there buddy you wanna you wanna die christ just die kill this one get jesus christ okay protect that ship first god damn it ah yes this is the argo do not fire we're here to protect you you are thank the void let's put that there able to quickly burst some sort of shield outwards they could easily push away small objects they catch like our drones okay let's just take that out real quick so i don't have to deal with that you wanna die jesus this is captain internet of the great empress marvano hest you passed our trial of trust have earned yourself a ceasefire and our further attention we are here to identify substitute habitat for the human race ours is fading she means we need a new home that sounds dire if you send us the specifics for the planets you seek we might be able to help prepare for transmission yeah we know of a planet like this but it is infested with the sun first tell us what you want we sent you coordinates protect our jamming beacon whilst we fight the design help us and we will help you this is our sacred promise fascinating i did not foresee negotiations going so well after our rather arduous start a bit too good to be true don't you think i believe we shouldn't let our guard down just yet yeah i feel the same thing like uh pretty sure that they could just like nuke the whole planet once we get there salvaged an almost intact reactor controller if we research it we might find a way to severely dampen their drives at least the ones close to the armor who are you talking to what are you talking about okay well poison river it is hidden treasures hmm poor wreck no one there i'm sure it's lonely there's so much for no one being here ai ships incoming they're gunning for that wreckage let's have the swarm inspect it first a leak lays emp mines okay it's just it's just one of the emp ships for the ai got it do that there we go a little protective shield going what you want what you need it looks like doing a rub is fast okay it's faster but only if you have the uh the supply and stuff to actually support it okay we're out we out we out good good the data we salvaged includes coordinates to another wreck it was probably the one they wanted to scavenge next all they had to do then is to wait for it to be over and scavenge the destroyed ships ah they really are like scavengers then yes they're scavengers i thought that was the point redoubt i mean like oh yeah this is totally gonna work except also three other systems oh interesting [Music] i see the rogue eye is doing all this stuff this ai gives me the creeps one more reason to beat them faster ai incoming stay alert yep we got another set of data and another wreck they didn't pick up yet shall we scavenging is not our main mission extrapolating from their astute desire to acquire it we should investigate ourselves oh it's repair ship interesting well it probably won't affect me too much so hey whatever okay let's do this wow that is a really strong heel oh christ this is gonna be bad oh the game's starting to chug too like it's really starting to chug here oh man yeah yeah yeah i'm aware let's do this yeesh oh my god there's so many of these things popping in the game this is actually starting to break the game this is ridiculous oh those are attack ships i was not paying attention to him because i thought like oh yeah those are totally just like you know those are totally just some repair ships doesn't matter they're i'll be fine but no they're attack ships okay so stick the heel ship into the nebula asap one more ai incoming stay alert we got another set of data and another race put that in there shall we scavenging is not all right let's put this here we go more ships popping in cool oh damn that thing just crashed into the other one that's hilarious damn that was too slow okay it's uh it's chugging away there okay i can i can't dedicate more to more to this thing okay just point it off over there okay just got to get these things pointed in that direction like that christ there's so much going on it's so dense there's so much going on at any given moment and i'm uh this is clearly a sign that i'm also bad at these rts's even when i have the ability to ignore resource management and everything else okay one more shot this ai gives me one more ai incoming stay alert we got another set of data and another wreck they didn't pick up yet shall we extrapolating from their astute desire to acquire it we should investigate ourselves come on come on just die can i get a thing to shoot okay it's almost done i'm fine it's good we're fine we're out we're out we're out we out later the stall tactics just jam all the drones in there and knock everything around with the swarm what do we have here wall regeneration wall meant itself a lot faster even the effect of disabling weapons is reduced oh that's pretty good that's really good i'm gonna get that and if i complete this battle i'll also have an upgrade point by the sphere i hope this is worth oh god it's an asteroid field and here they are i cannot blame them it is in their programming after all do you have any heal ships we do oh that's not a heal that's an attack ship let's put more drones into this thing nice just as i had hoped all right let's just get this thing dealt with oh wait maybe not oh i did it i wasn't even paying attention big brain strats we recovered a strange artifact it pulses with psionic power i told you it would be worth it it speaks to me carter these insights i can use them to unlock some of your untapped psionic potential interesting okay but yes let me wall regeneration upgrade yes please i wish you could test things out in here all right let's check out what's going on here at the trek system off to another test to prove we're worthy okay protect the trap there got it right on time let's get to work not only is that beacon tearing them out of warp it's also blocking all of their communication systems this is almost unfair like moths okay well where are they we're down this way gods no oh trap more are underway captain okay yeah where are they though oh this way all right now time to scribble on him sensors show we're clear incoming board transmission you kept your promise acceptable but we cannot yet keep ours right now the dushan are planning to raid a full settlement we need you to intervene understandable innocent people will perish if we do not act on this plea but it also drags us further into this conflict should we not at least try to work with the dashan too we cannot risk our truce with the vore kylie how do we know the vore aren't lying to us about the darshan their honorable actions already infer all we need to comprehend about honorable honorable honorable honorable honorable i don't know about this yeah me neither we're gonna get a backstab in a minute we're about to get backstabbed auroboros draw a close circle and attack pat to create a continuous loop oh my god oh that's gonna be delicious can i i don't have enough to afford it oh hello i really want both of those can i i wish i could get rid of like arc strike i don't use this thing i don't use this thing at all [Music] i've done every combat so there's nothing i'm skipping let's do this one the very least they'll get me closer to hitting more enemies i received a distress signal from a vault fleet something about enemies trying to kidnap the captain i'm intrigued aristocrat vitals nominal this is the algo what's the situation leave no one alive no one tries to kidnap rizzler second cousin twice removed from the empress of the poor empire aristocrats in space oh fascinating let's just ah lovely okay let's oh there's a lot of enemies okay oh this is bad this is real bad my swarm is nowhere near full right now they're gonna die in a second all right let's do that one more time okay let's see here i want to draw a line there just pull right through them all yeah okay this right this is when the stuff starts coming from the other side okay let's just get rid of that one okay block off that side wait you are the ones with the strange everyone is talking about oh the others will be so jealous that i met you you may scavenge the ships of my attackers no need to thank me oh good we're famous enough that spoiled aristocratic brats recognize us but not infamous enough that they pay us better seems legit ah attack curvature focus oh i would love that one i'd also love the other one but uh-huh let's do bulwark i'd really love that ability as well just the dashanna here already to battle stations those close-range weapons are literally tearing up the swarm brother best to avoid them as much as possible high drone damage at close range increases damage over time repairs itself good to know all right so i got a drone shield going and let's oh i see it's just like those shield things that i fought off earlier at that one location just do this can i take it out jesus there we go oh christ just keep going just keep going keep taking it out keep taking out good oh oh god damn it okay damn it i missed i'm being attacked from the other side too me okay let's take this one out take this one out take this one out out thank you i can't i cannot either what oh yes apologies i was just lost in thought i'm fine focus please captain we were unable to save the settlement regrettable indeed but without you our death toll would have been much higher we need your assistance in another mission i'm sending you the details now since you're asking so nicely real sus highly you will have suss intercept the convoy that escaped today those transport ships are of great importance to us here are the coordinates coordinates received we shall obtain these vessels for you got a skill point before i do this out maneuver oh uh huh wait oh okay so this is like for getting around shields and stuff cool that's actually quite useful but i'm gonna take oroboros [Music] let's go oh god it's a another one of these all right let's go so i can destroy that ah sick i destroyed both ships with that that's pretty good i didn't realize that ships did that much damage to each other out maneuver yeah i figured out maneuver does seem really useful though like i might get that as my next one i think i've gone everywhere else in this sector so let's go to the guard house threat level three huh oh it's another gate captain if i may siding with the war still seems to be the logical choice they are the dominant force in this sector it would make our mission considerably less taxing but they're also an ever expanding empire even if they keep their promise what's going to happen down the line we shall cross that bridge when we reach it first we must survive and what about the dashan they know these clusters just as well as the ball we should at least hear their side of the story they threaten the stability of an empire and have shown to be ruthless all right i hear you both of you i'm with eva on this one our best chance of survival lies with the vore understood i'll contact them immediately did you decide then do we fully align ourselves with the war your thoughts aiden thanks the captain the dashana hailingers okay let's hear it hmm your intentions are now clear to us lackey of the war you shall never be a friend of the darshan well i guess that uh that clears that up huh all right captain everyone to their stations remember to spare the transport ships all right so i have to spare these ships and kill the other ones got it or protect those ships i should say yeah oh my god look at auroboros tear through that thing let's go there we go one ship dead one ship dead two ship dead good we have succeeded spices it is an honor to be allied to the commanders of this fierce swarm together we shall bring peace and prosperity back to this sector our alliance captain is the beginning of a new chapter for both our species this is the first step in strengthening the peace between our great civilizations admiral boy he's laying it on pretty thick isn't he right pogba are the worst i hope we don't come to regret this decision oh we will don't worry you have won the queen's trust and we shall call you henceforth ally to the foreign great to hear it but what about your part of the deal what you seek will be in the next cluster we expect you there to show you your planet affirmative the end to our endeavor is nigh new earth here we come relic what does this give me bulwark oh interesting very interesting so interestingly it seems like as you get further in assist us in wiping out the last remnants of the salt once that is done we can finally talk uh seems real sus we just made our enemies so be prepared for the worst everyone eva did you hear me i yes of course i i'm all right it is all quite all right huh something's something's up what's up with that let's just do a little auroboros here let's do a little loop okay we got more fleet coming in oh a lot more fleet what fallout slowly approaches the argo releases a huge emp sock wave if not intercepted cool i wish these were a little easier to like tell apart from each other at a distance because they kind of all look i can tell the difference from like the large scale ones but like the small ones are impossible okay that one's dead good oh it's not dead take care of this okay that would be oh oh okay oh i didn't realize there were more of these things just showing up here ah me i'm dead oh wait what of course you see their plans to seek is currently the staging point for most dushan operations here we have to cut off their supply base before we can attack it directly well this will prevent them from sending reinforcements once you conquer it prepare to receive the coordinates of the supply base but not the ones for our planet all right i see how it is our faith in the sphere has been rewarded we have found new earth well with the help of the war and thank you all for your hard work and dedication humanity owes you all a great debt the order and the umf are already planning earth's final evacuation people are hopeful should they be outside a little here i mean we haven't even seen this planet yet what is there to discuss they are our allies not our keepers the new report from back home is in everyone is excited and people are packing their bags ready to start a new life we don't know anything about this planet they promised us or about what the vol will ask from us for it so why are we celebrating it doesn't matter who we have to fight with a swarm we will overcome every obstacle we are the chosen ones the war need us they fear our power there's some hubris is the reason we had to abandon earth in the first place maybe a non-psionic like me just doesn't get it well there's some hubris coming in right there good old pride what's this one oh interesting so kinetic drones this time all right so i'm going up here then i'm going to have to loop around to this side then around to this side got it i think that's probably a good place for me to stop though i'm like i don't know judging by this i'm probably i have to imagine there's more systems off to the side there so i can't say for sure how far in i am on this game actually yes i can let's go take a look at a website how long to beat drone swarm nobody knows cool how about if we go to steam them um it says i've been playing for two hours 25 bucks this hmm nobody's that far into the game like i'm the furthest one into the game oh wow 21 hours holy okay let me see what this guy says that's the give me a second here uh nope does not say how long the game is so i'll i'm i'm gonna assume it's probably not 21 hours yeah i can't find anything on how long the game is so who knows so for 25 bucks i honestly forgot it was 25 bucks i think i bought it on sale prior to release would i recommend this game maybe so the problem with the game is that it is kind of one note like a lot of the combats come to me like frantically drawing lines to try and set things up properly there's there are these upgrades but like these are all passive and basically just make it so i live longer and then this stuff is just you draw lines but you draw different kinds of lines so it doesn't look like there's any other abilities you get uh there's no like um like i do have two different kinds of weapon and i imagine i will buy more weapons but i don't have any control over that or the ship like it feels kind of shallow i'd say i mean then again that's kind of what i was expecting it's an rts boiled down to like very basic levels so if you are okay so from a setting perspective it's cool like i i can take guesses where the story's gonna go i don't know how long it's gonna be but i can sort of see the path it's going and i've played two and a half hours let's say let's say it goes a little further than this so i've gone all this area for two and a half hours this let's say it takes another hour another hour another hour so let's say five six hours so it's a little steep at 25 bucks unless it keeps going further than this can't tell so it's a little steep i would say on a on a sale is probably a good recommend but for its full price probably not let me think though um setting is neat the idea is cool the technology is impressive even if like it is it was starting to fail in that one fight when it was just sort of breaking at the seams what else um i guess the main thing is that it just doesn't feel like there's quite enough meat to the gameplay itself you i do like the boil down rts aspect of it where it is tricky enough that i still need to do that but i wish there was more to it that i could do like um i don't know have the ability to place drones in one spot and then when things move into position i can draw lines faster instead of having them all circle around my ship or have the ability to upgrade my drone speed for less damage or vice versa or like any number of things like upgrades different sort of paths that i can go to because it looks like it's just like the basic path drawing stuff that you get you don't have any like weird little upgrade things that would change the way you play the game it's always going to be effectively the same way yeah i just feel like there's a little bit more depth to it that needs to be added let's return to the main menu here see a little bit more depth to it would have been nice um i don't know what else you could have done with the game really like it's kind of set up in a very specific way you can't add other kinds of modes easily like what other kinds of modes would you have like survival you just sit there and do the same thing over and over again that's the story mode basically maybe a soccer mode yeah i don't know like i i just feel like there needs to be a little bit more depth to it and ju depending on how long the game is it may not be worth it but for a sale price i would recommend this game if you're into what it is yeah i think that's about my feelings on the subject get it on sale if you're into it if not like it's not gonna be the rts that brings people into rts i don't think but it has some neat ideas to it yeah all right i think that does it for me though so thanks for watching thanks for checking out the game with me feel free to follow what have you uh check out the game if you're interested did they really get rid of the demo that was on here yeah that's that's annoying there was a demo on the steam page a while back but they must have dropped it for release so who could say all right well that's enough out of me thanks for stopping by see you next time jesus six hours what were you testing like was it a school test fsa sorry not familiar with what fsa is yeah you are late unfortunately i'm just finishing up the stream uh check out the vod though if you want to see what the game's about long story short maybe get it on sale probably wouldn't recommend it full price also it kind of god i need to fix this thing because it's kind of okay so it's like a standardized test thing i guess actually let me see if anyone else is streaming this game yep uh let's see one in german i'm the only other person streaming great all right all right see ya thanks thanks for coming by even if you missed it so
