About

Crash-landed on a desolate, alien planet, what should've been a routine work-for-hire job for Powell has become a deadly mission to save the merchant vessel Morningstar and her crew. With one man dead and the captain gravely injured, Powell is on his own to repair the ship and find a way to escape the strange gravity well of the empty planet they've landed on.

And if the situation weren't dire enough, the only signs of life on the planet are the remains of a much larger and better equipped ship and her crew, all dead, and not by natural means. What--or who--brought down these ships and is killing their crews? For what reason? And can Powell find a way off-planet before he shares the same fate?

    Morningstar doesn’t only appreciate your time, but it’s easy on the senses too. There are only a few cut-scenes, but all animations and scenes are nicely done, even though clean, abandoned environments have been done to death. It’s definitely an upgrade from the original, which had a sketchbook style to its presentation. None of the visuals will blow you away, and neither will the voice acting.

    In the end, I enjoyed my time with Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock. Anyone who has history playing these types of games will feel right at home – just don’t expect anything really new. The old adage “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” applies here – other than the voice acting.

    Despite the low score, anyone who loves point-and-click adventures will probably enjoy Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock, even though it's puzzles are way too easy, the main characters slightly more lively than a pack of zombies, and the graphics, sound effects, and music somewhere between dull and average. Unfortunately, due to this quest's disappointingly short length and half-finished storyline, this feels more like the very first chapter of a game, rather than a completed product. It's a nice snack-sized videogame that can fill two hours of total boredom, but, other than that, it's not something special.

    Es una aventura gráfica muy clásica, de moldura estética excesivamente nostálgica y jugabilidad encorsetada también bajo los citados designios de tiempos pasados. Para bien o para mal, es un título pequeño -no hay que olvidar sus orígenes como juego gratuito-, sin demasiadas pretensiones, que aunque no innova ni lo pretende, bien puede servir como mero entretenimiento para el más acérrimo y purista aficionado al point and click.
