The Good
- Detailed environment to wander through
- some of the command line interface puzzles create a sense of accomplishment when solved
- external space sequence is enjoyable
- you can’t die from long drops.
The Bad
- Lack of story and character development
- command line interface sessions provide little feedback
- too dark in most places
- limited interactivity
- brutal stealth sequence at game’s end.
Our Verdict
Underwhelming
There are some good elements that shine through occasionally, but generally the game is not a positive experience.
With minimal storytelling, characterization or interaction, little direction and even less feedback, TARTARUS will only appeal to a small subset of players who would appreciate a DOS-like command line experience in their first-person sci-fi adventures.
