Sept. 2024

This is really fun game if you like FTL type of games, I like this game more since it allows you to modify the ship by upgrading the hard points either by replacing the module with a different or better one. Or by updating the hard point to support more equipment types including HP increases you will go to each star solar system to scavenge for resources where there are risks involved. the runs are quite custamizable by using your meta progression points to select what you want to bring on your run. change ship or difficulty level and what system you want to start the game (unlocks once you completed it before)

April 2024

I agree with the other reviews that it is a good game. I will give 9/10. And it is a bit addicting. That said, like other people say it's a more complicated FTL game. A bit more punishing in my opinion. The most nonsensical thing about it is that you have to swap all your "modules" (weapons, food growing laboratories, power generators, etc.) out everytime you want to move around or want to fight. It has "presets" that you can set to swap them out, but you have to constantly update even the presets every upgrade you get. Further, it takes time to swap from one preset configuration of your internal modules to another internal preset. If you don't swap modules all the time then you will be out of resources and/or caught off guard by enemies and killed, so you basically have to do it.

March 2024

As is made clear by the other reviews, it's basically more complicated FTL. As a result the gameplay is slower and more clunky, but more immersive as a result. Not the easiest game to get into, very punishing, but it can offer experiences I haven't found anywhere else. If you like this genre, get this game, it needs more attention.

March 2024

Wow! I never imagined I would find a game that rivals FTL with its new Multiverse Mod, but this game is just so good! I will never stop playing FTL especially but not limited to its wonderful Multiverse mod that really opens it up after their latest free update with all the new items. However, at least for the near future this game will replace it because of its wonderful array of content, wonderful travel and exploration pace, story telling, and FTL style combat. This game is a whole hearted 11 out of 10 if that were even possible! If you like FTL then BUY THIS ON SALE NOW for $14 including both DLC during the 2024 Spring Sale...

Incredible game. The emergent stories, the tension, the music and art style and humor. Brutally hard tho, takes a long time to learn to win and longer to learn to win consistently.
