Addictive Gameplay

After awhile you get used to how to play this fleet managment game and it soon becomes addictive i spent over 4 hours on this before i realised so much time had gone by. Great battle star theme but not much in the way of action just fleet management then some top down tabke top battles in between that last 2minutes before you are jumping again. Your essentially on the run trying the reach galatica and upgrading and repairing your ships along the way. Great time killer if thats what your looking for with a galactica theme.

Halfway there

At the time i write this, a few days after release: This feels early access at best. Though supposedly a full release. It's fun. You can play. Just there are game breaking bugs, and some severe balance issues. Some progression items also don't tick forward or tock forward unpredictably. It's also has problems with accessibility issues and Legendary for EVERY fleet unlocks only with time requirements. Meaning disabled gamers who play slower (like myself) will never get these. Lot of developers have learned to avoid these in this years past... seems these guys didn't. Worth it? Hard to say. It has a good feel. It has potential. If they keep working on it. This can be gold. Since this is supposedly 1.0 and not early access... who knows.

A good game but needs balancing

Really like the atmosphere and story. The combat can get hectic in a good way but right now there are way to many crisis in every sector. You spend all your time trying to manage that (until they become unmanageble). It is very easy to lose rep with the factions and they keep producing new crisis while the old ones need multiple steps to resolve.

A bit underwhelmed

I really enjoyed the demo, but playing the full game, after a few hours, some things hit you: The music is really quite bad. Some of the events are nonsensical. Like, one of the 3 social groups, lets say the workers, are slightly tense and on edge, so they decided to launch a full on riot? The cylon deduction section looks great. But it doesn't function great. You cannot clear someone, by following the infantile rules of deduction, you actually have to fully clear someone of all suspicion markers. Which means, you as a player (playing the captain, the despotic leader of this group of survivors) can know 100% that based on the really underwhelming rules, your CAG is the cylon. But until you find the resources to investigate her suspicion tokens, she remains free. Random bs happens all the time, so much so, you don't even care about reading all the flavour text that comes with it. And then there's the difficulty curve. It's so poorly balanced. The first 7/12 jumps are so easy, you wish they could be skipped. But no. They still take 2 or 3 hours to clear properly. Jumps 8-11 are fine, challenging but with a bit of experience you can still clear them without many losses. And then there's the final boss fight, which launches the difficulty up 10 levels. So if you're gonna lose, it will be after 5h of playtime. Yay. The tech tree is kinda boring and the correct choices there are kinda obvious, so it's just a question of when will you find enough scrap to get the squadron numbers up and the HPs up. If this was early access, I'd be fine with most those things, but it's a full release?! It can still be fun and nice, the BSG theme is... it's not really coming across that strongly, although I do like how, similarly to the early seasons, you often get this thing, where just before the main devastating wave hits you, you get your FTL jump ready, and can see how the nukes and other missiles that were moments from hitting you, instead fly through the empty space.

Quite Good

A really nice roguelike rts where you control your little fleet of ships and fighters trying to make it to the Galactica. Graphics are nice, pretty good story building for a roguelike, lots of weapons and ships and stuff to find a play with. Honestly pretty good all around. Only thing I would complain about is that there are a lot of systems in the game that arent expalined very well. The tutorial is fine to start the game and you can figure out the rest by doing; but getting a ship or pilot killed because you didn't know what the some game jargon was referring to the first time you see it can feel pretty bad. Just really needs some better tooltips. Maybe could use some more music variety also.
