Two question about the game..

[WeeCapo]

Hi, i want to decide to buy or not the game, but first I would like to know two things:

1) what happen when u die? Because i read that this game is a roguelite, and normally in a roguelite u need to restart all when u die..

2) u can change the difficult level in the current play?

Thx to all.

1) It's tied to the story. You basically get a new character with their own perks/disadvantages, but keep everything you've unlocked. All you really lose is the materials on you when you die, ammo and food, stuff like torpedoes and warp keys. It's pretty forgiving really.

2) You can change difficulty, and there is an ironman mode. Pretty sure you can change during a playthrough, although I haven't tried. There is a 'difficulty' option in the pause menu, though.

It's a fun game, and pretty funny too. Super polished.

Do you have to start over when you die? Meaning your ship goes back to the beginning?

You get a new 'prisoner' which has new traits

However any upgrades you hvae researched are maintained through deaths. So if you research something that gives you more health, your new prisoner will have more health when they start.

The map is functionally endlesslly horizontal but limited vertically.

The vertical are as you go down on the map, you encounter harder enemies but better loot.

The horizontal is more just staying in the same 'difficulty' of ships and the same category of loot (certain loot only spawns in lower levels of the nebula)

Yeah, when you die, you start over with a new character that has random perks. But you keep all the gear you have crafted, it carries over. Materials, fuel, food, and ammo don't, but you can craft/upgrade your "care package" which gives your new character more starting loot.

If you die you get pushed back to the mothership, which means you will have to do-over all the progress towards the current part that you need for the story mcguffin. This can range from trivial to severe setback, depending on your run - you lose all the good ♥♥♥♥ that helps you progress.

What is wrong with people? Answer is question.

1) You soft reset your run.
2) Yes.

Not exactly. You get a completely new map, rather than re-using the previous one. The main thing is that objective parts are also regenerated and they average ~8 jumps away. Better find some fuel.
