Review for version 3.6b
This game is thoroughly enjoyable. The one criticism I'd like to get out of the way, aside from the ugly models, is that the story comes across as pornographic but not erotic --at least not yet. Because the story rapidly jumps rapidly between an immense cast of characters, it's hard for a reader to get immersed in any sexual pursuit. Additionally, there are a few scenes where the comedic relief blocks other kinds of relief, becoming an unintended bathos to the eroticism. For these reasons, SpaceCorps is less erotica and more of a space dramedy that just happens to have loads of sex scenes and sexuality, but it’s still damned good.
Aside from a few moments of bad timing, SpaceCorps does comedy well, mostly using it during exposition and scene transition to make the moments less dull. While other games overplay the same joke or type of joke, SpaceCorps' jokes variety in type and delivery, with some being in the dialogue, some hitting you from the sci-fi setting, and some being in the game’s mechanics. Not every joke is a winner, but I think this may be the best comedy I’ve experienced on f95.
Speaking of the sci-fi, I'm loving the world of SpaceCorps. Yes, it’s made up mostly of shameless popculture references or rip-offs of popular sci-fi IP, but the amalgamation is just so damned entertaining and endearing. There were several points I’d be like, “That’s from Starship Troopers! Oh man they even got Riddick in here!” Because the story never takes itself seriously, the constant references are able to add another layer to the enjoyment.
Overall, I’ve loved my experience with this game so far. I’m a little concerned that the number of characters, kinks, plots, and routes being tracked in SpaceCorps will put its development on a 5+ year timeline, but I would certainly follow every update even if that does end up being the case. 5/5 highly recommend.
