Thunderbolt: Take the floaty space shooting perspective of Asteroids, splice it with the resource mining and crafting of Minecraft and sprinkle in a liberal dose of Elder Scrolls-style open world questing and what do you get? Well, aside from being tail of newt and blood of crow away from the ingredients of a wicked witches brew, you get OreSome, the solo project of UK based aspiring game developer Jamie Smith. Having just played the recently released demo, I caught up with him to learn more about this intriguing indie title.
OreSome is a 2D strategy game about ore. Explore space for it, fight aliens for it, blow up planets with it. Build a network of frames and bots to defeat your enemies – or just throw a sun at them. In a dying, decrepit universe full of foes, build up your forces and mine your way to the top of the food chain to explore further and further out into the void.
