rymdkapsel

rymdkapsel is a sci-fi version of Rampart with no multiplayer but infinitely better aesthetics. That’s it. RTS base-building realized via tetrominoes is a slick idea; I look forward to a game that uses it without feeling like a proof of concept. The game’s problem isn’t that it’s brief, but that it’s brief because it’s completely trivial. I breezed through the main objectives on my second try and felt no desire to do the same in New Game Plus, having already seen everything there was. It was a smooth experience during those two playthroughs, but only because all opportunities for depth or micromanagement were sacrificed to the minimalism gods.
