I recently had cause to revisit this one and I had forgotten how much I loved it. What a rare gem. I think Star Renegades may be one of my favourite games of all time. It's just so endlessly enteraining to manipulate the turn chart. I loved doing it as a child in Grandia, and I still love it now, but here it's so much better tuned and more robust.

The fact that I love the basic gameplay that much carries it a long way, but I love everything else about it as well, from the micro-decisions of allocating gear, building relationships, and pathing through each world to the higher level decisions of what party of univerise-hopping badasses to bring together for a well-oiled machine.

My sole complaint is one that I almost never have: I wish there was more of it. I thoroughly rinsed this game for all it was worth, reluctantly setting it down after my max Entropy victory, but I would be there day one for DLC or a sequel.
