Reassembly - PC Game Review

Reassembly is an interesting ship shooter, where ship building is a big component.

In Reassembly, your ship is made of smaller, vector components - pieces such as hull, thrusters or weapons - such as lasers, plasma cannons, missile/torpedo/drone launchers. You can see the building screen below - you just drag and rotate the components in place. Yes, that is awful looking ship I designed, but it isn't half bad in combat!

You go around destroying ships of the other factions. The neatest part is that you can just put together 4 different ships design, and every time you press F (and if you have enough resources), a new ship is built by your factory. And soon you can have a huge fleet of ships fighting for you.

You start with a small ship, but as you collect stuff around in space and leftovers of destroyed ships, you accumulate resources, which can be exchanged for credits - which allow you to get unlock extra pieces for your ship and to make it larger and larger.

I'm sure I'm missing huge chunks of the game here, but the tutorial doesn't go that deep.

The looks are a little retro/vector style, but with nice light highlights for engines and weapons. It works very well for the game.

Overall, the game, specially at the start, is quite fun. The physics model is great, and you'll see your ships (and hopefully others) break to pieces in great detail. The nice part about this is that individual pieces can get destroyed, and the ship will still keep working, and regenerate after a while.
