Description: Enter Zvezda, a fully interactive re-entry capsule heavily inspired by 1970’s space technology where every switch, gauge, and mechanical bit could be relevant to your survival. Guide your capsule to a safe landing with assistance from NASA and Roscosmos, and pray nothing unexpected happens to your highly experimental Soviet spacecraft – now the centrepiece of a Cold War conflict rapidly escalating towards catastrophe. Ultimately it’s you who must adapt on the fly, execute the right sequences and procedures, manage your power and life support systems, stay on course, and land in one piece; or discover all the interesting ways to die during re-entry. Good luck pilot!
Review: Interkosmos sure ticks a lot of good boxes. It looks good, its quite funny at times and it can be surprisingly immersive. Gameplay-wise it is all pushing this, set this to that and generally, you panicking looking for the next thing to fix or do. It also looks good and has some good voice acting meaning you never really feel alone during the trip. But sadly that trip doesn’t last very long but take my advice and start the game on hard, that way it will last longer. I feel it is probably worth £3.99, but grabbing it in a sale will help you to get even more value for money from it. Well worth a look, but maybe it is a little too short.
