Online Connection Suddenly Required

This was one of my favorite Quest games. The main reason I bought it, in the first place, was because it worked offline. I only buy offline titles because I don't always have internet for my Quest and expect the titles I purchase to work anytime and place. "Nova Sol", just automatically updated to 2.0 and now suddenly requires the internet to load and play my SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN. What's really dumb is after the game loads you can disconnect the internet connection and it still works. You can even exit/close the app. and reload it from the quick launcher, (as long as the icon is there), offline and it works. But when you go to your app. library the large icon is grayed out until an internet connection is made. There is no reason why the SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN needs the internet, in fact it doesn't. I purchased this as an offline game and I didn't willingly update this to 2.0. It just updated on its own. Obviously, the online multi-player is nice and the faster walking ability quite good too ! But, I purchased an offline SINGLE Player Campaign title and would really like that option back !! That being said this is really an absolutely fantastic shooter and I've had lots of terrifying hours playing in hard mode....

Good alien action shooter

Thank you for the very prompt response and the patch! Although I would still prefer to have an option, and would like to go even faster, it now fits the game quite well and is much better! And what can I say - I just wanted to have a quick look, but it totally captivated me, and I played it through. The game isn't very long, but it's fun - the story and missions are varied. The aliens look great graphically. The weapon is okay, a bit simple visually, but the shooting is good. However, what I really like is the atmosphere and honestly, there are some really great epic scenes and moments in this game (e.g., the view of the last planet with all the spaceships in front of it or the mother alien)! Great job and all in all, at $4.99, a very fair price for a good game. I had my fun, and anyone looking for an alien action shooter should definitely give it a try.

Now i understand the very low price

The game feels like an old-school exploration shooter for PC/console systems, and that's only a virtue. The graphics aren't groundbreaking, but they're not bad either; they're decent, and since graphics aren't the most important aspect of a video game, that's acceptable. However, it does have significant drawbacks, such as: movements are too slow and there is no option to increase speed. The enemy movements are poorly executed, lacking animation when hit by your bullets, and the patterns are quite predictable, making combat rather boring. You can find solace in exploration, which seems (for now) to be the best part of the entire game.

It's interesting

It's a interesting game if you like space semi horror / action. To developers, Suggest if you can lower the muzzle flash option. The current muzzle flash it's too bright and big. Hard to aim. And one important question, how many players can play up to in co-op mission? It didn't specify.
