Enter the world of Stratus, ruled by the powerful and fickle Tempest gods of Wind, Thunder, Rain, and Sun.
The world of Sonus is torn by powerful, eternal storms. The native inhabitants live on the majestic islands hovering high above the billowing maelstrom. Even though the inhabitants normally live in the calmer skies, their islands, over time, will be called down to the lower levels by the Tempests during what the natives call "Times of Descent". There they battle to prove their faction's worthiness to the Tempests and in so doing ascend once more to the peaceful higher realms.
High Priests
Take control of a high priest of Sonus. Your faction's priest may align to any one of the Tempest by constructing a temple dedicated to one of your choosing. Your priest is your avatar, and through your priest you may cast powerful spells to turn the tide of battle and aid your units.
Though your priest is your avatar in-game, he is also your enemies number one goal to capture to submit as an offering to their chosen Tempest through an altar they construct.

I really wanted this game to be all the things that I missed from Netstorm. I understand what early access means but the game is oh so broken. Play-ability is almost non-existent. I hope my donation to the "cause" is repaid one day, because this game has the opportunity to be great if done correctly. I look forward to updating my review if that happens.

Well i expected some "early access" trouble, but the game screams that it's badly programmed. I've spent some time just trying to launch a game and build my temple, only to discover that bridge building and units also glitch. Puzzling UI, graphics that are worse than original. I can't see any future here. Original is still playable on Win10 and is still fun.
It's sad.

I am so happy someone is doing this, I loved Netstorm so much as a kid. Currently the game is playable with 2 of the 4 element factions available (Sun and Rain). It is very much still an early access title, the UI is a bit confusing and the unit animations are pretty crude, hit detection with turrets is wonky as hell, and while there is the option to play against AI - the AI is currently so bad that it doesn't even make bridges (which is how you actually expand your territory and take resources). The playerbase is... not there yet, so if you're gonna pick this up I recommend bringing a friend so you actually have somebody to fight lol. Despite the shoddy condition the game is in, I do recommend it, basically because the original was so much fun that I already know the potential that this game has, and I want it to be able to get to the point of flourishing.

I was really excited to see a remake of Netstorm. I played the game when i was a child in the 90's and loved the idea of the game and how it played. And after seeing the screenshots and video of the game i expected that when i downloaded it.
I however was met with a "MAKE AN ACCOUNT" screen that looked older than an AOL software. i do not understand why you would need to make an account to play a game on steam when it does not even use a 3rd party launcher from something like Ubisoft or Nexon.
After making my account i "logged in" to an empty sky with no menu, no hud, no nothing. No tutorial on what to do and no menu to even give me an idea of what the hell is going on. I clicked around in frustration until i closed the game. Once i did this it started updating, once that finished i opened it up again and this time i had a MASSIVE chatbox (like 60% of my screen) and my island with my name in size 40px font. There was only one person online and he was very friendly and me and him were having the same issues.
When we joined a ring and started a game both of us noticed something missing, our island... We left and tried again, same thing. Went and started a game by ourselves, same thing. We could not place bridges, or buildings, or anything because we had no island to do anything with. Our priest was simply dangling in the air where our island should be.
There is no right click options like on Netstorm, where if you right clicked a geyser, priest, or anything it would give you information about it or allow you to select skills or to build structures. Nothing. The game was literally unplayable.
The description of the game on steam says "single player" as well. This is a lie, there is no single player only multiplayer that doesnt even work. Atleast No Mans Sky gave us a working version of a game when they released it on steam. Ive bought many early access games like 7 Days to Die, Rust, The Forest, Subnautica, Ghost in the Shell, and more. And i got what i paid for. An early access version of the game while in a working state is not completed. This is not even an ALPHA version.
I honestly dont know why there are so many positive reviews when this game has so many issues. Starting to think everyone posting here were paid by the devs to do so. I saw one review saying the developer gave him a key, so they were probably all bought off.
I really do hope they push this and make it into an actual game in the future because theres a huge netstorm fan base.

i spent many many many hours playing netstorm when my dad randomly picked it up for me. and from what i can tell the art seems very similar and nice. the controls seem similar aswell if unfinished. sadly couldn't test out gameplay much at all. as there is no singleplayer yet and noone was online. tentatively i'd say its worth a purchase from what i did manage to see even if the price is a bit steep.

Stratus definitely feels like the original Netstorm at its core. Before the game starts, selecting your video settings is important cuz you can't do those in game yet. Aside from the lack of a main menu of any kind, navigating the initial rings for starting a game is pretty self explanatory if you've played the original Netstorm. With some minor adjustments to controls and upcoming button/unit information options, it should be extremely user friendly to start a game.
Once you're in the game, the 360 degree camera control with a wide zoom range is incredibly facinating. I had seen pictures, but had not anticipated how different the various camera angles would feel. Fully zoomed in almost feels like a first person strategy game, while the fully zoomed out, true birds-eye view, makes it feel like more of a puzzle game.
There are definite bugs as you play right now. Some of the bridge ends don't connect, some of the units don't build properly and the lack of continuation between the animation of some moving parts makes it confusing when I try and figure out the minutia of what's going on; something I think is necessary for a strategy game.
There are also smaller fixes that i would like to see, like a more asthetic chat box, hotkeys, an easier way to find my priest, and the obvious completion of each fury. I can only assume these are just a matter of time.
Overall, this is a GREAT start! The development is true to its inspiration. It just needs to be more crisp. I am hopeful in thinking the needs i see are simple fixes once Stratus picks up real momentum.

Very very early. I would say this is an alpha. There are no sound effects, lots of bugs, but the point of EA is to help the devs along to build it because it has a lot of potential.
Will keep checking on big patch releases.

Very early in development, but it really does faithfully reproduce the feeling of Netstorm. I'm very excited to see this progress toward full release.
