Nov. 2024

Great game, it's being regulary updated and it's ton of fun! I recommend it to everyone who likes roguelike games :)

Nov. 2024

Do you like space games? Turn based stuff? Roguelikes/lites? Loved shows like Lost in Space and Star Trek? Maybe you just have a crusty Earth-chan in a mason jar? IDK, but you should buy this. Such a labor of love by the dev, and one of the best games I've played in any genre. Easy to understand and learn, options galore for difficulty, massive adventures, customization... yeah. Just buy this already. The price is beyond worth it.

If this started as TOS: The Roguelike, I wouldn't be even slightly surprised. I've lost count of the ways my brave red-shirted away teams have died. Edit, 40 hrs later: Yeah, this is rapidly becoming my favorite roguelike. Lots of ways to play, plenty of quality of life options, and the dev is amazing. The community is actively involved with future developments via the discord server, where the developer is readily available with bugfixes, answers, and regular teasing of what's in the pipeline. Updates are frequent and RARELY break saves. Crafting is finally available again after some retooling and it's a great addition, really making the Yellow division crew useful, especially the Engineer.

Sept. 2024

The procedurally generated worldbuilding of the roguelike genre are a great fit for the infinite void of space. Lots to do in this surprisingly forgiving game: Kit out your ship! Get your redshirts killed on alien planets! Become a space do-gooder, become a pirate, or just help a scattered human race take revenge. This game has many ways to find success - which is nice. I've played roguelikes where the developers clearly have a "there is one true way to play" mindset and unless that particular approach appeals to you, they become absolute slogs. Approaching Infinity gives you a lot of freedom to play in ways that are appealing to you, and sidestep or minimize approaches that don't.

Another reviewer mentioned it, but playing the demo to this felt like playing a spiritual successor to Prospector, an older traditional roguelike with a similar premise of flying around a space setting, exploring planetary surfaces, and dying to the exotic aliens that you find there. I ADORED that game, and didn't know that it died years ago until I read said review, so seeing something similar kicking around made this an instant purchase.
