SWISH! SWISH! FIGHT! CRAFTING IS FUN!
So me and my buddy are big fans of Terraria, and Wondership Q caught my attention a few days ago. I decided to stream it to him this morning as I tried the game out, and almost immediately we rolled in laughter at how basically every action of the cute little protagonist cat is voiced. It's nonstop, seriously. I really wish they had displayed this in the videos, because it seems there's no way to turn it off and I'd probably have a much more enjoyable experience after the laughter subsides.
Anyway, the game is as about as cute as you'd expect with some fairly pleasant, simple music. The building elements seem like they can go pretty far but the game's awkward with a keyboard and with very limited re-mapping, for those of you wondering. I really like how you can control your ship independently of your character, I was surprised. There needs to be a fair amount of quality of life improvements though before I'll really invest more time in.
Pros:
Adorable world.
Very smooth animations with nice sprites.
Controlling your ship and character independently offers an interesting gameplay mechanism.
Cons:
Voicework, if only because it just repeats far, far too often with no option to disable.
Very limited re-mapping if you intend to play with a keyboard.
Hard to mine a specific block sometimes; there's not just a range to be able to mine, at least not early on as far as I can tell. It's only what's directly next to you.
I'm going to recommend it mostly because I think the target audience will enjoy this, and it's fairly priced. If you're interested at all, watch some videos, know you're going to hear the voicework a -ton-, and if you don't like it there's always Steam's refund policy! 2 hours is more than enough to know if you'll enjoy Wondership Q.
