House of the Dying Sun

Basically you're a bad guy (ala TIE Fighter) and you engage in quick hit and run raids / battles in BSG style fighter craft. 15 bucks and I've been having a blast with it. Not deep, not super long, but very fun for a quick pickup game.

If you like this, then you might want to check out "Everspace". It´s was recently free on GOG.

I have wanted to buy House of the Dying Sun in the past, but my main grip is that it´s campaign is to short (circa +2hrs.), but for the sale price I guess it´s more then reasonable.

How long to beat HotDS

Thanks for sharing

Decided to go for it

Always liked how the game looks.

Does it have good joystick support? Or am I required to use mouse to aim properly?

Iam playing with a Logitech F310 gamepad, but did try the keyboard/mouse with the tutorial and it worked well.

I am using my Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS and Thrustmaster rudders.

I was pondering whether to buy this game or not, but after this review (^), I'm definitely getting it. Thanks for such a detail review, gongo2k1!
