00:00Special Captain's Medication that I use to prevent that.

00:05Welcome on board. Hope you had a nice flight.

00:08This way, please.

00:10This way, please.

00:14This way, please.

00:15Very smooth.

00:16That was great, man.

00:24This is Interstellar Strike Team by the developers Existem,

00:28and it was released on the 10th of December, 2024.

00:31This game is like Terminator, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Doom,

00:36Guardians of the Galaxy, all rolled into one.

00:39Now, whilst you can have this game in solo and still have a good time,

00:43it really gets fun in multiplayer as it gets real chaotic.

00:48It's still in early access and it's very cheap,

00:50but there is basically a whole game here.

00:52About the game.

00:53There is a machine force killing everything in the galaxy

00:56and the future of mankind is in your hands.

00:59Start out from the spaceport,

01:00then take command of your own battleship or join someone else's.

01:04Choose a mission from Interception, Orbital Strike, Attack or Liberation.

01:09Fight on the ground, fight in the air, or take the fight to their ship.

01:12Or maybe you will be flying through an asteroid field looking for boxes

01:16or flying through narrow spaces like a scene right out of Star Wars.

01:20Levels and Size

01:21This game is huge, man.

01:23The spaceport is a decent size.

01:25Your battleship is a decent size with five hangers for ships,

01:28a drop pod, an engine room where you will need to carry out repairs,

01:32a medical bay where you spawn back in when you were killed,

01:35then upstairs is the control deck where you will pick missions

01:38and pilot the ship, control gun turrets.

01:40You can fly through space and have to take out boxes on an enemy ship

01:44before you can enter their ship to destroy it and fly out in time.

01:48Or go down one of the planets via a drop pod

01:51and take out the massive cannons that are shooting up at your battleships.

01:54Or defend an area in Starship Troopers style

01:57whilst waiting for important info to download onto a hard drive.

02:01Occasionally your missions might get interrupted by space pirates attacking your ship,

02:06so you will need to get out there and battle them

02:08unless it's too late and they have boarded your battleship via the cargo area,

02:12which in this case, you will need to fight them off.

02:15Maybe your mission might entail fighting off an army of 100 small fighter ships,

02:19or have to fly down to a cube and fly in between its canyons

02:23to destroy a certain amount of power boxes,

02:26or you might have to fly through an asteroid field looking for boxes.

02:29And then there's the giant Death Star-like planets that you might have to destroy.

02:33There are 12 sectors plus your home to visit.

02:35I'm not totally sure how that works as yet

02:38because I've always jumped onto someone else's battleship

02:40and let them choose missions and sectors.

02:42Then you can also return to the spaceport to see if you can get hired paid missions.

02:47Playable characters and vehicles.

02:49You can design your own character.

02:51You have a number of guns to choose from,

02:54repair tools, and a choice of seven ships.

02:56Though you start basic and you will need to buy better ships.

02:59Now all the ships have interactive cockpits.

03:02Lots of displays to look at, use the joysticks and throttles in the ship,

03:06or you can just use your actual controllers.

03:09Even when you fly down to the planet, you can request a vehicle to get around.

03:13I would also like to see though a hover bike added.

03:16Enemies.

03:16I would like to maybe see bosses pop up occasionally on missions.

03:20Not all the time, so it keeps it fresh and maybe even have a special reward for his death.

03:25But there are a number of enemies here, from two or three types of walking robots

03:29to mechs, tanks, ships, gun turrets, patrol ships with search beams.

03:35It'd be great to see some maybe smaller and faster type enemies on wheels,

03:39or enemies that pop up from under the ground if you reach a certain distance from them.

03:43It just offers a different way of how to deal with another enemy.

03:47Also some variation in the enemy ships would be great.

03:50Weapons.

03:50The battleship has five turrets on that will automatically shoot,

03:54or you can take control of one of them and switch between them.

03:57Then your small ship has guns and a few rockets on.

04:00Rockets do run out, but you can fly back to the main battleship to repair or to refill.

04:05Then hand weapons you have are from pistols, an SMG, machine gun and a sniper rifle.

04:11Then the grenade launcher and rocket launcher.

04:13There is only one choice in each apart from the pistols.

04:16Then there's a choice of two fixing tools and one drone.

04:19All the weapons and ship's weapons handle and fire superbly.

04:24Leveling up options.

04:25I don't fully understand the leveling up system just yet,

04:28despite getting in about 15 plus hours of playtime.

04:31But you can level up on yourself the vitality and stamina.

04:35Then buy attachments on some of your weapons.

04:37You can also upgrade your ship's weapons.

04:40Then every kill you make, you earn money and XP points.

04:44Your XP will rank you up.

04:46Also you can collect upgrade points.

04:47Then you can rank up in six different aspects, like number of missions,

04:52engines badge, flight time, turret time, collecting crystals, minutes in cockpit and minutes on planet.

05:00Working your way up from bronze, silver, gold and then platinum.

05:04The game has plenty to aim for.

05:06Customization options.

05:07You can fully customize your character from gender, face type, hairstyle, beard, skin color, hair color and suit color.

05:16Then you can customize the color of your ship in two colors, picking from a choice of about eight colors.

05:21You can also customize your weapon color, but you have to buy those.

05:25Mechanics.

05:26Controlling the turrets can be a ping.

05:28They need to add a feature that when one player is controlling the turret, the other gets locked out from it.

05:34I'd also like it if you could control the turrets via your own controllers.

05:38Otherwise, everything works great.

05:41I had no issues with crashing or no bugs.

05:44Controls.

05:45Controls are very simple and easy to learn.

05:47I find using my actual controller sticks easier than the ship's in-game sticks, though.

05:52Especially noticeable when using the battleship's cannons.

05:55You can only use the in-game sticks and I would always struggle to make the cannon move up or down.

06:01Online playability.

06:02A lot of people I played with here are coming from the Guardians frontline community.

06:07Which, if you have seen my review on that game, you will know I rate it to have the best online community.

06:13This game excels in multiplayer.

06:15Rewards come in faster when there's a team of you.

06:18The enemies get tougher and there's more of them.

06:21Game menus.

06:22There are a lot of menus in this game.

06:24Menus are everywhere.

06:26But you have a tablet that you can reach from over your shoulder and a wristwatch which you can access the game's options from.

06:32As well as see your stats and maps, etc.

06:34My thoughts.

06:35I honestly can't recommend this game enough.

06:38It's got potential to be the Grand Theft Auto of space.

06:41As I first got into the game, I was a little unsure about it.

06:45I tried a few solar missions to try and get used to it and thought, yeah, it's okay.

06:49But then I jumped into multiplayer.

06:51And when you jump in with a good crew or some of your friends, this is where the game really begins to shine.

06:57The more I played, the more the game was giving me.

07:00Now, What is Sheer is fantastic and there is quite a lot.

07:03But I would like to see at least another 5 to 10 different style missions.

07:08And then maybe some more variation missions to keep being added.

07:12It would be great if there were features to this game where, like Guardians Frontline, if players could build levels themselves.

07:19Then in that way, there is always somewhere new to explore.

07:22I'd like to see more varied enemies also.

07:24Again, What Sheer is just brilliant.

07:26But this game is so good, it deserves more.

07:29A couple of things that some players mentioned, and I agree, was for the captain to have a kick button on his tablet.

07:35Currently, you can only kick someone from your team if you fly back to the main spaceport.

07:40Then also for the small starships to have HUD displays on the actual window shields rather than the radars on your panel.

07:47And then finally to have a list of players in your screen to the left with mic symbols so you can actually see who is talking at that time.

07:55Anyway, I could probably talk about this game for hours.

07:59But honestly, guys, just jump into it and find out for yourself.

08:02Especially now, as while time of doing this review, it's only about £6 and I think this game is easily worth £15-20.

08:12So now, touch that like button and then show your support for my channel by hitting that subscribe button.
