Affordable Space Adventures
Affordable Space Adventures is a third party indie game, coming exclusively to Wii U, and bringing the current space sim and exploration craze to the platform. The game, which is being heavily backed and promoted by Nintendo, is an exploration based stealth and puzzle game. It’s got a gorgeous art style, some great and intuitive mechanics, and it is another game that finally seems to be using the Wii U Gamepad meaningfully.
Affordable Space Adventures has you chart space, but it needs you to be mindful of everything around you, to keep your eye on your HUD, to navigate and interact with the environment around you. It is a game with some very talented folks working on it, and it has the full backing of the Danish Film Institute.
But really, this is one of those times that talking doesn’t help- you have to see it for yourself. Check out the Treehouse demonstration of Affordable Space Adventures for yourself, and see what I mean.
