Preview Redux: Battle For the Sun (Steam)
6And the battle for the sun continues. This is a follow-up to a preview we posted yesterday. If you'll recall, I played about 40 minutes of Battle For the Sun and ran into a mountain of problems. It was glitchy, the performance was all over the place and I eventually ran into a bug that prevented me from finishing the level. It was rough, to say the least.
An hour after posting that preview, the developers reached out and expressed concern with the performance. They said that I ran into a number of concerns that were new to them, and suggested that it might have something to do with the installation. You see, the version I played yesterday was a pre-release build that was independent from Steam. The devs suggested that the Steam version may be more stable and address some of my concerns.
So, in hopes of being fair, I would like to replay the first three levels of Battle For the Sun using the Steam version and compare the two. I want to produce a preview that is more indicative of what you might experience at home, so hopefully this Steam build will be an improvement. Here we go.
