SearchThisVideo: Heat Signature Review
when you're a space mercenary no plan
survives contact with the enemy heat
signature is counting on that to create
great moments where you're desperate
improvisation at least sometimes pays
off against all odds
[Music]
heat signature combines the one-hit
lethality of hotline miami with
automatic slow-motion and the ability to
pause and choose your next action
carefully that gives you the freedom to
use weapons and gadgets with what would
appear to your victims to be super hero
level speed and agility stringing
together a series of creatively limited
teleports melee and ranged attacks
shields and subversion tech to take out
or evade guards feels awesome
the missions your disposable characters
embark upon are almost all some variant
of get in grab or kill a person or thing
and get out so there's a bit of Sam eNOS
to them especially the part where you
pilot your pod to intercept the target
ship can get repetitive but missions are
never exactly the same the layouts are
procedurally generated and many have
extra conditions like not killing
anybody leaving no witnesses or not
being seen at all when racing against a
countdown timer on a large enemy ship
crowded with armored and shielded guards
some of whom explode when killed that
can get nail-biting ly tough as you pull
off and escape at the last second or not
but heat signature encourages risk and
experimentation because there's very
little consequence for failure if a
mission looks too tough just leave if
you mess up you're rarely killed
outright and when a character goes down
in a blaze of glory a limitless supply
of replacements raised their glasses at
the bar and send another out to take
their place you don't lose your progress
through the tech tree which is
ingeniously disguised as a galaxy map
that liberate it aside from the fear of
losing the gear you've collected on that
run there's just a small bit of fiction
for each one about their personal
mission of revenge that gives them just
enough personality to get attached to
there's not much of an end game to it
and the factions on the map don't do
much the heat signatures puzzle like
missions are great for jumping in for
just a few goes at a time to try
something just crazy enough to work
that's when the fun stuff happens for
more check out our reviews of pyre

About The Author
8.0 ok! Now go to sleep.
8?!?!?!?
I remember seeing the alpha of this years ago
Adventure Time.
I give Metroid Samus Returns a 9.7 random as jelly beans
6.9/10 thank me later
Who else thought this was Adventure Time related
There was a fifa ad before the video. Does fifa usually have a campaign with cut scenes? It looks a lot like the new madden 18 campaign were your start as a kid then become a legend. Their both made by EA so I bet they took both games in the same direction. Their baseball and basket ball gaMrs are probably doing the same
The first thing it thought was adventure time
The Messier Mark 2 Home, I guess these guys are hockey fans
I remember this name from Adventure Time.
I hate this reviewer :/ would prefer someone else to do reviews
Sort of reminds me of an really old game called Rebel star but this has more stuff might have to find cash for this
Did you say…Heat Signature…?
But captain…
I cant find our…
Heat signature
IGN died with Olivia Munn
ZzZz…what happened? Oh. Nah.
In my opinion, this game is my favorite Steam game of all time. 9.8 out of 10 because no game is perfect and this game has a few visual glitches.
Is the music during the video the official track? If not, does anyone know the name of the track?
okay, I NEED to share a story of this game that happened to me one time that just goes to show why this is almost my favorite game ever. I was on a liberation mission, which are usually tough, but this one was sorta easy when compared to other liberation missions. Nonetheless, I was stilly pretty proud that I beat it, so I decided to do the one thing you’re not supposed to do on liberation missions. I stayed on the ship, and held F to fast forward but at the last second realized “oh crap, I’m about to die” so I just rushed out of the ship, looking for an exit, when I suddenly realized. There was a window right next to me, which means that I could smash it, then launch out of the ship and catch myself after using my pod. Right when the timer was about to hit zero, I shot the window, caught myself, and went back to a station feeling like a boss.
This is by far the most badass game I’ve every played
