When I first reviewed Space Tales in July, I said I really wanted to like it, but ultimately, it fell short. The visual design was undeniably a highlight, pulling me into a retro-futuristic world that felt like The Jetsons crossed with Worms. However, the gameplay just didn’t live up to the promise. The survival mode was overly simplistic, lacking the depth needed to keep things interesting, and the absence of tooltips made it harder to engage with the mechanics. Despite its artistic appeal, the demo felt more like a bland taste of what could be a much better game.


Now, with a new demo released as part of the Steam Next Fest, some of those initial issues have been addressed, like the addition of tooltips and a new story mode, but does this fix the core issues? Let’s take a closer look.
