  A short Action-Shooter in space (~4h to complete). No more, no less. Runs smoothly on my win7 64bit machine. I bought it for 1€ on Winter Sale, worth it.

  Pros pretty enough for me (not hard) control is responsive runs smooth on older PC Cons mouse is not locked to game screen on multi monitor setups voice acting is sometimes bad friendly AI does nothing secondary weapons are only good against stationary targets controls are limited gameplay is shallow gfx settings are limited music is repeditive and doesnt match the gameplay "Right between the eyes!"

  How does one appropriately rate a game? With Project Freedom, it was a difficult choice. Let's talk about the good things about Project Freedom. It's pretty fast-paced, and the actual gameplay--space fighter combat--is quite enjoyable. You have several weapons available, useful for different things. Lasers are good for taking down enemy fighters. Missiles and the plasma weapon are good for targeting large buildings on planets, freighters, and capital ships. The gameplay itself is pretty good. But the plot is pretty simplistic (Human factions are fighting each other, a couple alien races show up and you ultimately have to destroy a huge station/space ship), there are no characters, and the bare bones upgrade system almost may as well not have been included--just decide whether you want to upgrade engines, defenses, or weapons, and the game seems to choose which particular sub-upgrade you get within the category of your choice. I can't remember any of the music, having now played PF twice. Contrast this with, for example, Darkstar One. Darkstar One really isn't a great game--but I can still remember the main theme music, and the quirkiness of the main and secondary characters. But, once again, the gameplay is pretty solid. PF didn't really have major flaws--there's just not much meat in this package. And in consequence, I only spent something like $3 or $4 on PF, and once I bought it, it only took ~5 hours to beat the ~20 missions. So even if there are a few annoyances, and a general lack of interesting content . . . it won't last for very long, and during that time you have nice, fast-paced space-blasting melee. And how much different is that from, say, Counter Strike? Except, CS is replayable because it's multiplayer and has tons of maps. So it was kind of hard for me to say No instead of Yes on this game. So I'll say this. Don't go into PF expecting a whole lot. If you're fan of space shoot 'em ups, go ahead and buy it, but make sure you don't pay much. Go in, blast some baddies, and get out. (That's what I did, yes, TWICE, since that part was pretty fun, and I kind of wondered if something might jump out at me the second time around.) If you want something that's a lot more amusing, colorful, and enjoyable and has a decent amount of meat, buy Darkstar One, for example. But I don't think your average player will find a lot of interest in Project Freedom. 5/10.

  It's a very linear space fighter game wherein the general idea is "crush kill destroy you are the STRONGEST IN THE UNIVERSE". You get to upgrade your ship as time passes, but that's the only customization there is; minimal replay value due to exactly one campaign and no modding. Story's okay, voice acting's generally good but has a few terribad spots, mostly where the script obviously wanted characters to be interrupted but the devteam didn't bother making the pauses between different characters speaking have anything other than a fixed interval. Basically: It's good fun, and it's incredibly cheap at the moment (75 cents) so you don't really have that much to lose by buying it.

  Fun, simple basic game. If you tried X Rebirth or Parkan 2 like me and immediately got lost, this is the game for you. The controls are mostly good but the ones for roll were a bit idiosyncratic so I re-mapped them. Be advised that in this game if you want to remap buttons, you have to make sure that you are using buttons that aren't already used for another function. This means that if you really want to change the controls, you have to first assign actions to buttons you don't use, then assign the actions to the newly empty buttons you want. For instance, I wanted to move the roll buttons to A and D rather than W and S so I had to first set strafe controls to buttons that I didn't use, then assign roll to A and S, then assign the strafe buttons to buttons I wanted to use. Remapping the controls felt a little bit like doing a sliding squares puzzle but after I did, I was able to get a control set up which I liked really well. It was a very enjoyable game... until I got to the ending. It just ends. No congrats, no cutscenes, no story it just ends when you destroy the last objective in mission 21. I couldn't believe it so I looked it up online and saw that it is actually supposed to be like that... wow! It just ends... Then I found out that there were apparently cutscenes which were never ported to the Steam version of the game... really sad to see a potentially awesome game let down by the developers like that.

  The game was awesome until we got to mission 21. The end was unfinished when the after objection was complete. Needs conclusion after this, their were no promotion, acknowledgements of any kind. Just nothing really.

  If you´re looking for an arcade spaceship game, this is a great option. Good graphics, lots of complimentary dialogues, even a quick save option. Cool techno soundtrack. No sandbox, only a series of missions with very specific objectives. I´ve been looking for nothing but space ship games in the last four months or so. I´ve completed five of them, ditched four, and am currently playing this plus six others. Of the six I´m playing now, this is the most balanced in terms of graphics, story line, game play, soundtrack, challenge, and variety of missions. (one game has more story but way less graphics; the other has greater graphics / complexity but is super hard and has no story... and so on) Plus it´s cheap. P.S.: it´s in indie games, so expect some glitches, like enemy tanks that can move through rock walls. Also, I remapped some keys and now I cannot strafe or boost P.S: the boost is an upgrade, I managed to use it later in the game

  It's suppose to be a action based Simulation right? Well it's more a lowered down version of Free lancer, whats diffrent here you think? They take away all your freedom to do as pleased and instead you are forced on each mission but before you go out on mission you can choose which upgrade you want to get upgraded from the reward and the things you can level are Attack, Defence and Speed. You can to select easyli what upgrade to take and sometimes you get your weapon /sheild / engines upgraded. For being 3€ on steam it's not to bad... but I would recomand this game to people who enjoys being a lapdog and forced doing mission for upgrades. Oh yeah the lock on missels will miss 90% of the time so if you are lucky with it might hit.

  It's a very decent old-tech space shooter for a buck or less. Your fighter is equipped with several types of blasters and missiles and slowly upgrades as you get through missions. Point and shoot, and try to stay alive. 8.5h to play through the entire campaign on 'explore' mode. NPC chatter gets repetitive. Decent bit of entertainment for a decent price.

  An alright game. Short, but worth more than the $3 you pay for it. Only critisisms being the movie audio doesn't play properly(theres only like 4 in the entire game), no high res/windowed mode, "W" and "S" are roll left and right.
