Don't waste your time

gambling simulator with a twist of masochism

Very frustrating game design. There is way too much RNG that you never feel like you can strategize or survive the outcome without relying on the most optimal builds unless the current run is lucky and gives you enough of everything. Even when targeting the optimal builds you are out of luck when the game doesn't offer the tools to do so so. You might waste hours just trying to survive a run forward and then get obliterated by some event or fight because most of the time you do not have enough money to make a decent well rounded ship before the difficulty jumps up and it is too late.

Even with methods to savescum the "easy" mode isn't really easy since many of the weapons with interesting mechanics just don't work against the tougher enemies without an optimal build and the opportunities to upgrade and adjust your approach are scarce. So you might try new tactics but just get frustrated how badly synergizing and unusable they are most of the time with the upgrades you have managed to gather. Many of the upgrades feel lackluster compared to the amount of money they cost and there is the constant push to make you hurry up so you cannot spend more time to optimize your build if the RNG doesn't offer you proper tools.

All the event choices you find are option A, B & C and even if you knew that one option would be more beneficial, the game rolls a die and might basically just slap you in the face with a penalty such as losing a valuable crew because the game decided that the option that you are required to take in order to gain more resources just had the exact opposite outcome this time.

I was expecting something as good as Into the Breach but I was disappointed. The game doesn't not really have much variety and becomes repetitive very soon. This was a good mobile game 15 years ago but it does not hold up well today.

it is so bad you can not beat the boss or enemies,s no luck at all so do not get the GAME SO BAD

It's fun and has great overall design, nice little world to explore and such. Overall I enjoy it aside from how oppressively difficult it is. Which wouldn't be a problem, but most times I've ever died in a run are from things that seem completely unfair and out of my control.

Just feels like the game is far to unfair with random encounters being much to difficult, and especially that last ship. Really, how does anyone beat that thing?

Utter luck-based garbage. Artificially inflated difficulty to make up for the lack of content in the game. Don't waste your time.

This game may just not be for me but I'm not enjoying it. Too RNG heavy. You don't really get meaningful choices. I can choose my path but I have no idea what is down either path so nothing say to myself. Oh I made the wrong choice here.

Example in my last run. I warp into a mantis scout ship. I realize very quick I'm outmatched so I try to run. Except its dealing so much damage I can't cause its hitting my engines and overwhelming my shields. My full health ship is killed. Absolutles zero I could do.

Nothing is unlocking unlike better Roguelike such as Hades where I'm feeling a sense of progress even if I'm 'failing' runs. Or feel like i'm figuring out mechanics like Monster Train.

Its been awhile since I have had such a miserable experience.

Accidentally put in the wrong language and there is no way to change it

Maybe it was good for it's time or the right population, but it's just slow and frustrating to start out. Good luck to you if you're interested in the learning curve, but there's certainly more fun choice-based rogue-likes out today,
