Equipped with the rocket launch manual, you and your team must work together, communicate, and solve puzzles to ensure the control panel is properly set for a successful rocket launch.

The game is available for purchase on Steam. When we started up the game, there was a list of missions to choose from with the first stage classified as “Hard” and the last stages classified as “Impossible”. Jumping into the first mission, we were given instructions on basic controls such as how to move side to side. However, we did have to experiment on some of the controls like how to zoom in and how to look up and down though it was intuitive on how to operate the control panel. The game feels like it would work best on a VR headset. Once we were familiar with the controls on the laptop though, it was a breeze to check everything out.

The goal of the game was we needed to set the control panel to the correct configuration to properly launch the rocket. Depending on the dials and switches, we would have to reference certain numbers on the screen and research them in the rocket launch manual. Keep in mind that there is a launch timer counting down and some configurations must be set before launch while others while the rocket is headed to space and some even at the end.

When the game introduction said this game is not for the faint of heart, we thought “How hard could it be, right?” This. Was. Hard. The first mission took us over 10 tries to finally figure out the correct configurations. Don’t let that discourage you though. Completing that first mission was incredibly satisfying. Once we understood how the game worked, we were able to get through some of the other stages more quickly.

The game is of deduction puzzles and requires making the right connections. At times, we were referencing up to four pages all over the manual to figure out the answer, where the manual itself was 135 pages. At the start of the game, there is a sticky note that says “Gather as many people as possible” and they were not kidding. Our initial play-through had only 4 players. After a couple of levels, we realized we needed more so some of the higher levels, we had invited 10 people to help us out with the game.

If we failed the mission, we would get a notice telling us what was incorrect and what the correct answer should have been. We also still had access to the launch panel. We used this opportunity to take some time to review the control panel, get our bearings and review the manual without the frenzy of the launch timer.

"Rockets are Super Hard" is the name of the game but is also the best description of the game. This game is not a walk in the park, and that’s something to keep in mind when you play. We had a great group of players who were determined to stick it out until the end, but casual gamers looking for a more relaxed experience might find it a bit overwhelming. Was this game hard? Absolutely! Was this game fun? Double Absolutely! If you are looking for a game that is similar to “Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes” but requires rocket science to complete, then this is the game for you. Rockets Are Super Hard may feel like it requires a PhD in rocket science, but completing it will make you feel like a genius.
