Without spoiling too much, early on you see wreckage of other visiting vessels, and through the many levels you see notable changes in environment some are natural while still alien, others suggest relatively primitive but sizeable human-style technology, and in other areas there are mysterious objects that defy explanation. That humour is interlaced with the darker reality of your ship's situation, however, landing on the planet to discover multiple dangers and a low-fi ship that's barely functional and is only just capable of allowing you to progress.Ī key strength of Affordable Space Adventures is in this storytelling, which itself is mostly limited to environmental signposting and ambiguous hints. The title represents the brand of a somewhat scruffy company that offers trips to a planet supposedly lush with exciting scenery and mystery you're treated to instructional videos and manual pages that raise a smile. The plot premise here is - like the collaboration itself - and interesting mix of humour, fear and mystery. Right off the launch pad it sets itself apart from many other experiences, making it an intriguing adventure to embark upon. A collaboration between KnapNok Games and Nifflas, it brings a fusion of the former's expertise in user interfaces and control mechanics, and the latter's surrealist visual and puzzle design. Affordable Space Adventures is one of relatively few Wii U eShop exclusives, and is unsurprisingly a particularly unique arrival on the store.
