FTL with macro management. Mini Total War in space. But with ships. I wish there was a bit more depth when it comes to pilots and spaceships, however. With couple of updates or additions it could have been turned into a masterpiece. Yet banger of a game. I didn't know how much I needed it.
I’m playing this game for the second time, both times on hard difficulty — and it’s still just as engaging. The story is incredible. It’s one of those rare games where I actually read every line of dialogue instead of skipping — the writing really pulls you in. The combat system is also very satisfying and well-designed. What I especially like is how accessible the game is. It’s lightweight, runs smoothly, and doesn’t require a high-end setup. The gameplay is easy to get into, which makes it perfect to play anytime, on almost any device — without sacrificing depth or quality. Honestly, this is one of the best games I’ve played in this category. It would be amazing to see it released on iOS and Android — it feels like a perfect fit for mobile and could reach a much bigger audience.
This game reminds me of FTL, but with a little bit more story depth and slightly different game mechanics. Ok, it's not FTL. But it scratches the same itch for me. I have just finished Chapter 1 on Normal difficulty and enjoyed it. The missions are not that repetitive yet and the combat is such that it does keep you on edge. Or me. But perhaps you as well, if you buy the game. Which I think you should.
This was a great game with very engaging writing, if you're a dune fan you'll fit right it and recognise a lot of the themes. The music and artstyle were incredible I thought, however the gameplay, although it does indeed have a lot of different strategies and playstyles, is probably the weakest part of the game. I enjoyed the moral dilemmas and managing of scarce resources far far more than entering combat, and you are guaranteed to find a winning strategy and just stick to that. I think the game has a good amount of content for the price, and I didn't find many repetitions in the random encounters, but once I figured out how the combat is designed to work, I just didn't die lol, which made me a bit sad in that I think I missed out on story elements. If you're interested in a good and honestly unique scifi setting with tons of atmosphere, I recommend this game and just cruising through it like I did once you figure out what works. If you want something to scratch the roguelike FTL itch, then I could definitely see entertainment value in bumping the difficulty up to hard and the many ship's playstyles do change up the game pretty well.
