    As a tactical rogue-lite, Crying Suns feels kind of unique. It has some things in common with FTL, but really it’s very much its own beast.

    Crying Suns is still as much of an engaging tactical space battler as it ever was. It has an interesting story that is beautifully presented, sounds great and a welcome addition to the Switch library. Alt Shift has tweaked and updated it since the initial release and the game is just that little bit more refined for the effort. I would have scored this current version a little higher than I did in 2019 but the clunky controls re-level the playing field.

    If it doesn't offer the same depth of play or the same replayability as its model, Crying Suns offers something different. By deciding to take the reins and tell his own story rather than leaving his gaming systems in the hands of the player, he is sacrificing a bit of roleplay in favor of a sustained and well-narrated story. We still regret a lack of variety in the events and replayability impacted by vessels a little too similar. Still, Crying Suns is a pleasant storytelling space odyssey from start to finish.

    Хорошая игра для всех фанатов ФТЛ!

    Из минусов: показалась слишком легкой, все прошел с первого раза, что для рогалика немного странно, плюс    Хорошая игра для всех фанатов ФТЛ!

    Из минусов: показалась слишком легкой, все прошел с первого раза, что для рогалика немного странно, плюс бои в отличии от ФТЛ очень долгие, так что иногда утомляют, еще события нередко в системах повторяются

    Из плюсов: классный и захватывающий сеттинг, сюжет и атмосфера, красивая пиксельная графика, интересные механики боя. Однозначно советую всем поклонникам жанра!

    Что касается перформанса на свитче, то, после патчей, все баги вроде бы пропали. Лично мне не хватало тачскрина, немного устаешь заниматься микроменеджментом с кораблями с джойконов. В основном играл в портативном режиме, текста мелкого много, но вроде все было читаемо! С телика тоже игралось нормально. В целом скорее положительный опыт (особенно после того как пропатчили баги)    … Expand

    When it comes to strategy games, on a general level it feels like the Switch hasn’t been terribly well-represented as a whole, though thereWhen it comes to strategy games, on a general level it feels like the Switch hasn’t been terribly well-represented as a whole, though there are some standouts. One advantage of the lack of competition is that when well-made entries show up, they should be able to hope to clean up a bit from people starved for a bit of a challenge. On pretty much all fronts Crying Suns should satiate that hunger, delivering an outstanding sci-fi story, some decent ship-to-ship tactical combat, and a bit of nail-biting suspense as your ground parties attempt to collect artifacts planetside while hopefully not being annihilated. With loads of potential encounters to either help or harm your efforts the roguelike elements really help provide some longevity as you try to make your way through each chapter, perhaps running into a bit of luck one time and crashing and burning the next. All in all, it feels pretty unique on the system and demonstrates the power of the roguelike formula to spice up just about any genre.

    Unplayable on switch, unless you use a magnifying glass.

    The whole game is very text heavy, which is fine if it was readable. The text is    Unplayable on switch, unless you use a magnifying glass.
