Space Siege Critic Reviews

The game’s strong characteristics are the simple handling and the humor you can find in dialogues. So Space Siege is a title worth playing it.

Although the first half of the game falls into a lull of mundane and repetitive baddies, it definitely becomes more interesting, difficult and intense toward the closing acts. But dont' expect brilliant innovation.

It's definitely action-packed, especially when playing with friends. It's just a damn-shame that Chris Taylor and his cronies at Gas Powered Games didn't get with the times and mix in a proper action-focused control scheme.

Space Siege may be for those more hard core fans that know that not every addition to a series is going to be a slam dunk blast of an adventure.

For the most part it’s an enjoyable if unremarkable shooter, where satisfying gunplay and alien carnage struggle to overcome a shallow plot and quirky controls.

Strange mouse controls blows a hole, very monotonous gameplay sinks Space Siege. Come on, Chris Taylor.

This is a good game for a once through, but lacks any long term re-play value and lacks what made the Dungeon Siege titles so great and full of amazing gameplay. The online side of Space Siege is very well done but like the Single Player it lacks that certain something which makes it a great and worth while game.

While the visuals don't exactly push the envelope, the audio is one of the better aspects of the game.

Worth trying for people who haven’t played many RPG’s.

Not in the slightest bit innovative, but a great hack-and-slash nonetheless.

Diverting enough, especially for four players, but not outstanding.

Action-packed gameplay, a linear plot, controls that need getting used to, an interesting human/machine-system and a single agonizing mistake: No Lootsystem as we know and love it and Item-Drops as well as Levels per se are non-existent. Space Siege isn’t bad, but compared to forthcoming Space-Games, it’s an appetizer at best.

You're a soldier, fighting aliens and robots - as long as you manage to stay awake. The new game made by Chris Taylor fails because of its pointless story and that's not even the biggest problem of Space Siege. Uninspired levels, boring missions and the same opponents over and over again don't offer enough variety. It still has a certain appeal and would be worth 15 Euros, but definitely not 50 Euros.

It's not perfect but Space Siege is a lot of fun once you get into the game.

Gas Powered Games' latest release disappoints in its attempt to transfer the Siege Dungeon style to space. This is a video game that does not stand out for good or for bad in any particular aspect. The only elements that save it from mediocrity are the length and some good conceptual decisions. Unfortunately, Space Siege doesn´t have any depth to it, neither does it work as a role game or as an action game; turning quickly into a Hack and Slash shooter, repetitive and outlandish.

A big disappointment after a promising preview. Far too simplistic and generic to hold anyone's attention for any length of time.

Space Siege has quite some problems. Controls are confusing, story is linear, sceneries are overly repetitive and the choices we make have little to no impact on character development.

The combat looks bright and colorful on the surface and there is no shortage of menacing enemies and massive explosions, but the AI doesn't provide any real tactical challenge, the layout of the levels and missions is remarkably linear, and the range of abilities and weapons is too limited.

The lack of atmosphere, tension, and urgency doesn't help either, especially since the player is supposed to feel like humanity is on its last leg.

Space Siege is genuinely fun for a while, but at some point in the dozen-or-so-hour campaign it became more tedious than entertaining, and I just wished there was more depth in the mechanics to hold my interest.
