About This Game

The Earth was dying and humanity boarded ships to colonize the stars. These ships were named after the wonders of the ancient world: The Giza, The Alexandria, The Rhodes and finally, The Artemis.

The Artemis landed and set up a colony on an Earth-like moon. Then the Ants, an insectoid species, came and enslaved the colony. All hope was lost.

Years later you were born in the Artemis colony and joined the resistance against the Ants.

One day the Ants suddenly left your colony for unknown reasons. The Proctor of your colony tasked you with finding the ancient Artemis colony ship. Among the wreckage you found the captain's yacht; and it still works! You and your crew take to the stars to find the other humans, if they are still out there. 500 years after the destruction of Earth...

500 Years is an old school episodic space opera. The game is an adventure where you explore different star systems and meet the inhabitants, some friendly, and some not so friendly.

I think the mostly negative reviews are unfair. This is a good game. Harkens back to the days of Starcon.... True space exploriation and interaction with an interesting back story. I actually hope to get to play the second act someday. It was fun and challenging and funny. Probably not worth 8 dollars though. Get it on special-- at about 2-4 dollars I would say its worth it. The biggest drawback is how short it is, and the graphics could use a little punching up. Overall though, I enjoyed it. 7\/10. Very bad and extremely overpriced game.
No flying berween stars and planets, all is made by "click where you want to go". No exploring, you cannot fly freely. All you do is clicking through dialogues, sometime fighting. You cannot shoot, all is made automatically. You can just click to rotate your ship and move it.

That "non-traditional combat controls" is really non-traditional. Pretty sucks. That should be "non-traditional combat" without controls because you cannot take controls into consideration here.

"The game is an adventure where you explore different star systems" don't believe the exploring part of this. You just talk with AI characters and sometime get coordinations of new star system, then they appear on your map and you can click on them to fly there. You cannot fly freely and discover planets on your own.. Wow. Just Wow.
I really dont know what else to say. I completely understand that this is an independent game and a low budget title. I can certainly forgive the poor graphics. However, the writing is absolutely horrendous and the gameplay is ... well absolutely horrendous. The controls make no sense and are extremely awkward. Getting your ship to face the direction you want is nearly impossible. There is no depth to the combat, which is merely an exercise in trying to keep your ship pointed at the bad guys (which is more difficult than you would think).

Interesting concept but very poorly executed.. Not impressed. Combat is pretty awful, trying to turn around and slowly fire blobs at enemy ships. Artwork is crude at best. Pity, some of my favourite old games had a lot in common with this, just that they were realised properly.. When I was young lad I was introduced to the modern age version of "Gravity Wars" called "Star Control", it was great, the 'campaign' (as limited as it was) was a cross between chess and 1v1 Ateroids (where the ateroid is an unrelenting alien ship firing a full load of plasma torpedoes at your head) It had may ships to choose from, each unique in play style and was generally a very enjoyable game. Flash forward several years "Star Control 2" was released, Bigger, Brighter, higher resolution, and a fully fledged campaign that had one of the best stories - ever.

I bought "500 Years, Act 1" because it looked eerily similar to such a classic franchise (and I like collecting games) and to some extant it did bring give me a certain feeling of nostalgia, the artwork certainly has the '80's \/ '90's retro look, the gameplay \/ story is basic yet interesting(ish), as were the sound effects.

Did this game live up my StarCon (1 & 2) inspired hopes, no, not really, no.
In fact definitely not.

Unfortunately the story, which is kind of intersting, is far too short. And then just like my previous sentence, it just ends with the promise of a continued story in the form of DLC to come. Much like the games of the '80's (and even some modern ones) there is no real decision making in upgrades, nothing to spend your non existant monies on you simly get to upgrade your energy levels and place power in systems to improve them - a simple system that works, but is nothing exceptional.

It would be great if the dev's could rub some funk of this game and include resources \/ money and a larger playing field, in fact there is a lot that *could* be put into this game which would add to the experience .

If you have read down to here (congratulations) you might be thinking I would give this game a terrible review, oddly enough the opposite is true, for all its shortfalls it was an enjoyable game with some good potential, and maybe, just maybe, with some support (and sales) that potential might just be realised.

P.S. As this game stands I have no idea how Valve has put a ~$8 price tag on it, buy it on special $2 - $3 is chump change and almost certainly worth it to try to entice the dev's to add more content.. nothing works. I would have said the game could be good... if it wasn't already taken out of Early Access. This game could have been way better had the developer taken more time and not make it look like a rushed project. The only redeeming quality of this game is that it has trading cards.. This game is mind numbingly bad in almost every possible way.

Storyline is childish and poorly written and since it's completely text based the spelling and grammar mistakes are just glaringly obvious. (I wouldn't care that it's text based, but get someone to check your spelling and grammar, please)

It acts like you have some freedom, but you really don't; the story is linear, you move your ship in a very straight forward planet to planet progression or you fail. Most of your time is spent reading background story for each planet or hailing new people just to listen to them spout drivel that is poorly written and just has no value to what your goals are.

You'll meet a new species and get pages of text that amount to: "We are is the guys that do crawl from water aned will be the eating you todday, ok? Do you agree?"

You either agree and the game ends, or you fight. Rinse and repeat for about 2 hours until the game is over. I'm not joking. Short game filled with bad dialogue, linear hand holding and nothing of real interest happens. Oh, and to add insult to injury, the combat mechanics are stupid.

Before each fight you pick a simplistic loadout. Would you like to use shield 1, 2 or 3 today? Would you like to use computer 1, 2 or 3 today? Would you like to use engine 1, 2 or 3 today? Again: not joking, this is what the equipment in the game is called. The only minor attempt at strategy comes from picking which weapon you will use, either short, medium or long range and through trial and error (fail and reload) you'll figure out which weapon type works against each alien race. The problem is it just doesn't matter, once you die and figure out you need a different weapon type you just kind of win. There's no strategy beyond that involved. You don't even have control over shooting in this game. Combat is just floating in a direction while aiming, the ship autofires for you at whatever enemy you select. If you have the right weapon to hit their speed and flight pattern you'll win, if you don't you will fail, change weapons and try again.

And that's the entire game. Bad writing in a childish storyline punctuated by boring combat and lackluster strategy choices; and even if it was a good game (and it's not), it's so short you'll barely notice it exists. If you see me with more than 2 hours played on this game it's because I decided to idle it and get the steam cards, or I'm drunk and hate myself enough to get 100% achievements just to prove I can.

If you want a real testiment to how bad this game is, take one look at the world statistics for achievement completion. The achievement with the highest completion rating is 4%. That means 96% of the people who own this game do not complete the very first achievement.

You can reach the first achievment (a boy and his goat) after playing less than 5 minutes of the game and without effort or combat, all you need to do is click through some storyline and fly to the very first planet (the only one on your map, you can't miss it). That means 96% of the people who own this game have not even played it for 5 minutes.

Those people were smart enough to see how bad the game was and just shut it off. I hate myself enough to keep playing longer than that, but I don't recommend anyone else be this much of a masocist.

Just to add further insult to those who buy it: the game asks you from the moment you launch it whether you want to play act 1 or act 2. The developers never bothered to make act 2. So even pretending this was a good game, it was half a game and then abandoned and it will remind you of this every time you start it up. So even forcing yourself to "finish" puts you half way through this very bad story that never ends.

This is one of those games that make steam look bad for even allowing it to be sold in the store.

EDIT: This game currently has 6 positive reviews out of 56, but the store page summary at the top says it only has 6 reviews total and won't post it's positive\/mixed\/negative summary. (which should be glaringly negative). Game didn't start - even with compatibility settings...don't waste your cash.... Interesting storyline
+ Fun space battles

- VERY short
- Poor graphics and audio
- The game needs more work

4/10
