Halfway - Review @ IGR

by Hiddenx, 22:28

Kit Goodliffe (IGR) has reviewed the tactical sci-fi RPG Halfway:

Halfway – What We Think:

Halfway’s story is set in a future where interstellar travel has been achieved through the invention of a faster the light drive technology. Unfortunately ships are starting to mysteriously disappear while using this advancement and it’s beginning to look like something strange is happening when vessels are in transit. You control a group of people onboard a starship which encounters this phenomenon. You must lead them in a fight for survival whilst unraveling the truth of what is happening to ships during their long distance journeys. [...]

Halfway manages to craft an engaging scenario within which its action can take place. The combat itself is enjoyable and while some may find the difficulty to be a little bracing the challenge is well-balanced. Supported by some impressive art and music, Halfway’s survival story aligns neatly with its gameplay and makes for a worthy entry in the turn-based tactics genre.

Rating: 4/5
