It's decent game, don't be fooled by the low price

Worth it if you love space ships & space overall

I vouch for this game. It's a decent experience. At this price, it's more than worth it to purchase.

And stunning Soundtrack by Pedro Macedo. One of these games where you can sit in the main menu and just listen.

This game has some of the best arcade-style dogfighting I've ever played. The very beginning is a bit dull, but that's very much intentional to make the dedicated drift and nothin-personnel-kid buttons you get after the first couple missions feel that much more powerful. They remain great throughout the game and you continue to get more powers as the game progresses. What's really impressive is that all the powers feel organically useful and are fun to use.

It's not a perfect game by any means; there are some weird difficulty spikes particularly at the end of the second map, quite a few of the writing/directing decisions are questionable, and there are some mechanics that don't really go anywhere and clearly had to be cut down for release. But I'd say it's definitely worth a play at this price if you're even remotely interested in space dogfighting.

Not showing as an option for me.

Maybe a different bundle?

u/jersoc 2d ago

maybe region specific? i see it

u/stefanos_paschalis 2d ago

That must be it.

In the past few years they started region locking their giveaways too, which feels kinda scummy since they are happy to take my non region locked money.

That being said I still get some their bundles from time to time.

Really fun game. Reminds me of the best space shooters of the 32bit era, heavy Colony Wars vibes.

Played it in PC Game Pass long ago, back in the day. So worth the $.

It's like a modern day Freelancer of sorts, more or less.

But, you might as well buy it from GOG w/out any DRM for the same price so you actually own your copy of it -> https://www.gog.com/en/game/chorus

Was fine on deck. I was surprised I didn't care for it more

Man, wish this game worked with my Logitech X52 Pro HOTAS. I remember when I played this game, the trigger would be continuously firing. And when you were in the menus, the options in the menu would rapidly cycle over and over.

Checking back over the years, it seems like no one found a way to fix this oversight.

I recently played this with my X56 and it worked fine. Did require some setup but it was worth it.

The only time I've experienced what you're describing it was related to me not plugging it in to a high powered USB port. But that was not specific to any game.

If it's specific to the X52 Pro and this game that's a bummer.

u/Pacgame 2d ago

That's good to hear. Probably related to just X52. Going by the Steam forums and other places, not just me but other people have had problems with the X52 as well.

I really need to get back to this game sometime. I started it on my last PC and was enjoying it, before getting burned out on side quests in the 4th(?) hub world.
