    About :

    StarHeroes is a free-to-play shooter game that is now in alpha. I caught the stream of Bulldog and he was playing this game and told me the alpha was still open, so I decided to give it a go myself. And boy am I glad I did.

    After installing the game from here I also cranked up the volume of AC/DC - Shoot to Thrill and then prepared myself for some blasting fun!! Any excuse to turn up ACDC to full volume and then fly around shooting I do as much as I can. My wife was complaining about not being able to hear Chicago PD on the TV, but I couldn't quite make out what she was saying.

    It all installed very smoothly and although it seems to take up quite a bit of space, I encountered no problems installing and playing just on my laptop which isn't the best spec. I even sat on my trusty headphones and they are barely holding themself together.

    Some info I garnished about the game is that they are focused on providing a good game with gameplay being their main focus before earning. That being said, there will be the possibility to earn the $STAR toke, but this will be a free-to-play game.

    What will make it fun though is that it is also play2own as it is important in games to own your own gaming assets and be able to transfer them as you wish. There will be StarHereo NFTs and skins available.

    As you can see from the timeline on their webpage, they are behind schedule on their roadmap but it is a great milestone to reach their alpha launch already.

    Crypto

    The game is going to be launched on Immutable X, which is an Ethereum feeless layer 2 solution. My experience with Immutable X is that it is quite good but the fees moving from layer 1 to 2 are prohibitive and it is a shame they didn't consider using some of the better solutions available like Hive or Wax.

    You can see even with my low budget graphic card that the visuals are fantastic. I was struggling against my opponent because I was using a mouse and keyboard but otherwise it was flowing really great.

    Most of the players seemed to be based in the US which isn't good for European players lag wise, but I hosted my own game and things ran really fine. The 1 on 1 game that you see here was good fun, but when it moved into 3 vs. 3 it ramped up an extra level of fun.

    Some of the tactics I was trying to use in the game was to travel fast in the vast openness of space to not be detected, flying through asteroids to provide me with cover and fast racing duels against each other trying to get the most shots off.

    Thanks for reading.
