"I've spent some time but I just don't like 'X'" - 1 Hour on record "Nothing interesting to do here". - 1.5 hours on record "I just really don't like the server lag, but otherwise its fun" - 850 hours on record Its a sandbox building game. I'm not sure why anyone is expecting a massive campaign? Once you start to understand how the vehicle builder works, the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is most definitely a rug pull game, dev changed the name then moved it out of early access without completing ANYTHING beyond the most basic features that still aren't as intuitive as other similar building games. The sandbox is good for maybe 30 minutes? But there's no incentive to play or replayability it's just build a thing, fly it for a couple of minutes, build another thing. No updates for 6+ months at a time, updates that do come are insignificant and don't actually fix/add…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this when it was still called Balsa in early access. Then they changed the name and attempted to scale it out further. I felt like it was a bit of a rugpull back then but got shamed for calling it out in the discord. Now I see the game is out of early access and it doesn't feel better than it did over a year ago. Even building planes in stock KSP feels better, this is no upgrade. the controls are poor, the building system is meh, the world is boring. Much disappoint. I love flight…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played a ton of KSP over the years. So naturally, I was pretty excited to try out this game. Unfortunately, this game runs super poorly and has been crashing/freezing a lot. My system is super old and weird (R5 1600, GTX1070 8GB, GTX980Ti 6GB (largely unused), 24GB ram) and I'm playing the game through proton, so I can fully accept that those issues are because of that. That whole issue isn't solely why this review is negative, rather it's a catalyst for my actual reason: this is one of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Initially released in early access as 'Balsa Model Flight Simulator', the game had a decent set of plane building mechanics, a vast selection of campaign missions which increased in difficulty and a community of active players who were enjoying building various craft. I was excited to see the game renamed, to see that the developer was keen to make big moves and progress the game, however what I found after the change was upsetting. The developer had stripped all those campaign missions out,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned project that claims to be released, but in reality is unfinished. I enjoyed what was there, but the devs have moved on to other projects, leaving a small amount of content and a whole host of jank. A shame, that this is what has happened, but the game wasn't exactly a huge seller either so I kind of get it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This could have been a great game but for the simple fact it hasn't received an update in over 7 months says it all. Don't waste your time or money on this - devs can't be bothered then why should you.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is no longer developed and is a buggy mess. It is fun until the game simply stops working because of the bugs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →July 2024: We are going out of early access with few features, but trust us, "Development will continue!" December 2024: Last update This game is still lacking in many features, runs horribly, and is very janky to control or use. And with no update for 11 months, and few sales, I doubt the game will continue to be developed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh my. I really, really wanted to like this but it's a mess right now. And this is *not* early access? Insane. 1) Not user-friendly. Impossible at times to know what to do to accomplish what the game is asking you to do. 2) Impossible to remap keys unless you edit a .cfg file. If you're using a controller then the yaw and roll is already linked - meaning one input controls both at the same time. If you are using a keyboard, they aren't. And you have to edit a .cfg file because just selecting…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game looked promising when i was playing it last year, but i've just come back to it recently to see if it's improved, and unfortunately it's going in the opposite direction. The game has MANY game breaking and annoying bugs that make the game feel clunky, unintuitive and aggravating. Things that could have been great quality of life improvements have simply gone ignored. accidentally build your model backwards? tough, start over and build it again the right way. want to tweak your…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is okay but it's abandoned by the devs. Last update in 2024. No career mode. Multiplayer is likely dead. No maps except of whatever you find from the community. In game scenarios are like 1 or 2 and there is nothing more but the Sandbox. Cannot make drones, cannot make RC helicopters. I'd more recommend to buy old Kerbal Space Program since that has larger community and lots of mods that kept the game alive.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An unfortunately abandoned game with a lot of potential
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →abandoned game. i though it was going to keep getting updates. dev lazily slapped a 1.0 release title on this unfinished mess and abandoned it. AVOID AT ALL COST!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looking to be yet another forgotten game that will never get an update :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It pains me to say that this product is absolutely not ready for prime time. If it were still listed as Early Access, I'd be far more forgiving. Yet, although the first message you see after booting the game is the claim that it is "still in active development," the Steam storefront does not show it as such. And so I believe it deserves to be reviewed against the standard of a finished product. If this game weren't tied to the KSP brand, I doubt it'd have the positive reviews that it does. But…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →at its current state I can't recomend it. We need way more parts in this game for it to start to look like somthing like what it was promised. check back later
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game's dead in the water. Bugs and limitations in the building capabilities are really hampering my enjoyment of the game, and the devs don't seem to be all that interested in adding content, only small fixes. Like a lot of other people, feels very much like an early access title that happens to not be in early access so the devs can dump it whenever they want.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is bare bones and should be labeled as early access. It wouldn't have the positive reviews if not for the association to KSP1.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game left early access super early and just feels incomplete, buggy and barebones. The updates stopped so I think I can now review this game. Had high hopes cause of the genre and its ties to KSP but I guess it has more in common with KSP 2 than KSP.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great concept but abandoned
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun concept, horrible demand from pc. usually no online players sometimes like weekends youll get 4 or 5 hard to play due to rubberbanding,glitching,frame freezing, unstable servers, server lag, visual bugs, terrible audio bugs, other games similar like trailmakers,aviassembly, flyout ect has no issue but this game demands everything your computer has, i feel like that alone is the sole reason the player base fell its not a hard to play game, its a " hard to be able to play game" 4/10 as of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DEAD GAME; DON'T BUY
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Being a KSP fan, I was patiently waiting for Kithack to come out of early access, and recently I finally decided to buy it and see the state of the game for myself. I played just an hour today and if I'm honest I already feel kinda bored. This is probably my fault, I should have searched more informations before buying it. I thought there would be some kind of progression, akin to the KSP career or something but no, it's actually just a sandbox so except building and flying there is nothing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned, next to no content in game. Incredibly buggy and not optimized at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I could recommend this game, but it is extremely buggy, receives no updates, and the physics and building is very disappointing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a way-cool little game. If you've ever thought it would be neat to fly an RC airplane but don't have the hundreds of hours available for construction and thousands of dollars available for kits, radios, engines, and other parts - this game is for you! But the fun doesn't stop with just planes - you can also "build" RC cars and boats as well. Let your imagination run wild!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned. Limited fun if it works at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not finished.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL:DR; Has a lot of potential but games abandoned, don't buy. As i stated the game has a lot of potential but there are some issues with the game, some editor controls feel clunky, there aren't that many mods that aren't pre build planes, and on top of that the game is more or less entirely abandoned unfortunately. If you're like me and just enjoy creating random stuff for hours on end then maybe this game is worth it if its -50% or more on discount though.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I expected... more. It's janky, the controls are unintuitive/weird and more than anything I expected so many more parts than what's in the game. KSP was similar I suppose, but had a massive modding community behind it to fix those shortcomings. KitHack doesn't.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is basically no game there, it's just building and flying. It shouldn't be out of early access.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very little content in this game :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I expect a campaign till then not worth it for me. Lovely game but no mp servers that are friendly to randoms. Play it with a group of friends other wise its really really boring unless u like to build and fly aimlessly
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →after a little bit of playtime I can confidently say, that as of right now the game is not worth it. If they ever actually add in a career mode or a tech tree like they had in balsa flight sim, it could be decently fun. as of now though its just a somewhat bare bones creative sandbox that should absolutely be an early access title.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game about building model vehicles, from the creators of Kerbal Space Program? Sign me up! If you've played KSP then the vehicle designer will feel instantly familiar to you, and if you haven't then it's designed to be beginner friendly. Pieces snap effortlessly together and morphing parts allow you to create anything you could ever dream of. The game is stable and runs well, even with larger creations, while the lightweight graphics lend a relaxing and fun vibe that won't cook your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Used the KSP pedigree to sell an underbaked game, made a bunch of money, and abandoned it at the first opportunity. Reputations die so easily.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Way underwhelming. It's a nicely designed toy with zero gameplay. Did not have fun at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I built a plane, that went 600 km/h and as soon as i enabled flaps - mr malfunction(r.i.p.) experienced 60g overload before slaming into the water, diving 100 m deep
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →800 hrs and many things built i can sat this game is good exept for the damn sirver lag
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been part of all of this game's closed betas, since it was still called Balsa, and while there are obviously issues still, the game has evolved far past its original release as Balsa Flight Sim. The graphics are simplistic, although very pleasing. The controls are simple and easy to get a feel for very quickly Building has some bugs, but personally, nothing that stops me from enjoying it. Multiplayer is suprisingly stable and it is extremely fun to fly around with friends, or randoms. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, this game is fun and I've made some things, but I have to unfortunately say it was abandoned. There have been zero updates in forever! Maybe one day, someone will take care of this project once again, as it seems really nice. But it was left to dust before we even had transmission systems in the powertrains for your creations! I'd rate this a 7/10 game without it being abandoned, but due to this I must say, it is a 4/10. The mod makers sticking with this to the last man are true fans, who…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Extremely underrated, even though it is kinda unpolished
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Doing anything in the workshop is a janky pain in the ass. I want to like it, I keep trying to make sure it isn't just me not getting it, but no. Things that should snap don't, things that should auto-resize don't, it's just an exercise in frustration.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is actual peak extremely customisable with a very good interface, realistic (enough) flight simulation and an incomprehensibly good soundtrack. what the actual hell. i really hated flyout so i was going in with zero expectations but i think i just found my game of the year
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Much like I wrote about Balsa - the building UI/editor is just so damn clunky and frustrating that it makes it pointless to play. The fun IS the building so when that is clunky and frustrating that's really the end of it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you have autism buy this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am very disappointed. I have launched the game 10 times and it crashes at 90% loading 10 times. With a little luck it will crash on its own. Refund
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like the game....BUT BUT it has a huge flaw during building. in multiplayer i cant build from scratch, nothing populates.. you have to start from a pre fab build. ALSO while building lining up STRUCTURES ( siding, panels, engines, fuel tanks) its very broken and you cant place things in certain areas. parts disappear. its like a kerbal knock off building wise needs fixed asap.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has trouble with USB joystick inputs coming from a TX16S on Linux. Pain to bind the AETR axes at first, won't recognize switches, and the throttle does not work with the cars in the game. :/
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't recommend this game in good faith for anything other than a deep discount sadly. If the game was more polished, I feel like there would be a lot to like about it, but it is held back severely as things stand. The UI feels even more dated than KSP1 and the control scheme seems similarly clunky, sometimes requiring weird key combinations to perform seemingly basic actions. The camera controls are awkwardly bouncy too. I like the world, but it alone isn't enough to keep me invested.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is dead. But it is still a fun game to play. There are bugs and other stuff.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game might be good but it will not tell you how to play it outside of a tutorial that made me actively more confused than i was before. still can't figure out how to do wiring? or something? nothing turns on and for some reason the tutorial only teaches you how to make literally the simplest glider possible. it doesn't even tell you how to design a plane to fly right it just assumes you know that and only need to be told how to attach things.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →basicly KSP but with rc projects instead of rockets, i like this more then ksp. i can play with rc cars and boats and planes. altho i can buy a rc car irl they could be very very expensive so are boats yet boats are need water and i don't have a lot of places that i could use that but planes are worse irl. planes you need permits irl something you need money and go to a specific place to do it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead game, and what's here barely qualifies as an alpha.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game comes off as abandonware and while I bought it I really wish I hadn't.... The game is in a fairly badly optimized state, and feels incredibly barebones in terms of parts that exist within the game, I can't in good conscience recommend anyone buy this game. In its current state it'd qualify for a decent early access but this is the finished product and is all you'll ever get.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →uhh very fun but has bugs so yes
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →make me feel like im mark rober
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is alright.. needs polishing and more building parts, its hard having to stretch and widen/squeeze and shorten. overall 6.5/10. not worth the price unless theirs a sale, then if you like building games, get it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →big fun i do not know much about applied physics BUT the games fun i wish there where more parts though
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →
