Evaluation

Duke of Alpha Centauri is a space shooter that released on December 28, 2016. The store description presents a complete, self-contained game with defined levels, an upgrade system, enemy variety, boss fights, and an endless mode — all hallmarks of a finished product with no mention of planned future content or ongoing development. There are no DLC listings, no roadmaps, and no developer posts about future updates for this game. The one developer news post in the feed (from July 14, 2017) is an announcement for an entirely different game by the same studio and carries no information about Duke of Alpha Centauri. With no post-launch content cycle, no outstanding promises, and no developer communications about additions to this game, it launched and remains a complete, standalone package.

PLAYER

The Player has two different types of weapons: mechanical (bullets and missiles) and energy weapons (plasma bullets and lasers). They are powered from different power sources so keep in mind to upgrade them both. Missiles and lasers are activated when the player targets enemies with an auto guided system. You can change your target at any time.
Besides weapons, the player has 2 more ship abilities: holoemiters and system overload. Holoemiters are used to boost your damage and projecting 3 or 5 holodrones, so that you can damage enemies more quickly. System overload is a technology that combines nanorobots and high temperature plasma reactions to recharge shields, weapons power supply or to repair your ship's hull.
Your ship has a defense shield installed. If it fails, be careful that you don't get critical hull breach, because your reactor core will explode and destroy your ship.

ENEMIES

Duke of Alpha Centuri has 13 different enemies, each one with 3 different styles which gives them a complete diversity.
Enemies are equipped with different types of weapons (plasma weapons, photon weapons, lasers, missiles) and some of them have cloaking technology, so be careful when they appear.
Bosses are quite unique and use all kinds of foul tricks to destroy the player. You will encounter some asteroids.
Be careful when flying near them because your shields can't block them, so they will hit you directly.
