    No, somehow it's not that great.

    I was expecting more opportunities to interact in the spaceships ... sabotage something, hack something, turn off shields, etc. None of them exist. Ok, drives can be destroyed. Well ... otherwise just kill or kidnap. You run around and kill everything. Short entertaining, but then quickly becomes dull. The thing around to be able to dock on a ship    No, somehow it's not that great.

    The thing around to be able to dock on a ship really just annoys me.

    Then this confusing and just stupid fiddling with the inventory ... nah.

    The idea of ​​always playing with other characters is ok, but always starting from scratch is not fun for me either. If you only play with one character it quickly gets boring, even in the game itself you will find this hint ... Oh yeah ... if it is only lame later you should start all over again so that you have fun again !? Really?? Serious???

    Everything is not bad. I like the graphic style. Infiltrating ships and then taking out the crew is also fun. For a short lap. Maybe two. Three .... NO. You can play this Game, but you don't have to.
    And that all makes it just too expensive.    … Expand

    This is one of the best "space bounty hunter simulators" we've played in a while. A very interesting title we recommend particularly if you like 2D.

    Heat Signature’s strength lies in its ability to make you think fast when you have all the time in the world.

    What you're left with is a game that many players will get around 10-15 hours out of before being shut out behind a vicious skill wall. Until that point, every player will run into some amazing moments that beg to be shared with friends. Heat Signature is a machine for watercooler talk. And if you're up to the challenge, there's a mountain waiting to be surpassed here. I just wish there were a few tweaks that would allow Heat Signature's fun to continue on for everyone, not just the highest skilled folks among us.
