There are better alternatives out there

Imagine a game like Space Haven, but every time you want a crew member to do anything – like tie their shoes - you have to select them, zoom in, zoom out, and click three different buttons. And better be quick about it, otherwise they die in a horrible way.

Scaling and space culture problems

This game takes from Bomber Crew, WW2 game, and it shows. So you feel space OPERA, they made the space ship with great space, with so few crew, so everybody has to run in corridors and so you rather feel like in a too big WW2 bomber for its crew. Devs did felt this, so in option you can add a gunner, but it was not to be played with. Too, WW2 game was in "flat" 3D, atmosphere with 3 heights. In space it's real 3D, and the camera was not adapted. Too, often what to be done is not clear when in missions, the success comes by trying.

annoyingly repetitive

There are 4 types of missions; "clear all enemies", "escort/protect", "gather/scan/hack objects", "away team to station X". There are 3 types of 'areas', "one clear space with some random objects", "one with asteroids", "one with random hazards". Every mission you gather experience points and funds. The experience points count for a difficulty tracker; the more XP the harder the missions get, the more enemies are thrown into your face. randomize above missions; combined with your "experience points" as dificulty, and add one a few of above area's and you have a full description of what this game offers. The controls are cumbersome. Zoom all the way in to view your ships layout, to command your crew. Zoom out to have an outside view; but... to control your ships heading 'right mouse click', which zooms to a akward 'first-person' alike view; where you now have to 'scan' across the universe to hold your crosshair on the mission object long enough to highlight. Game progression is very slow, somewhere 1/3 of the game you probably have most upgrades unlocked. At that point there's no real goal to continue the game, as everything will be the same, over and over and over again. This game is not worth the full price in any way. Questionable in discount.

Extremely repetitive and frustrating

After the first 3 or 4 missions you realize that you've experienced about 80% of the game. It had a frustrating combination of being almost entirely hands off with the space combat, to the point where you just highlight enemies and click the odd button or two to activate powers, and too micro heavy with the crew, you have to explicitly order them where to stand and to put out fires and the like, which leaves you with the worst of all worlds. I recommend looking for better alternatives.

The worst of FTL and Bomber Crew

The makers of Bomber Crew tried to take that game and turn it into FTL, but failed to redesign ANYTHING about Bomber Crew to be able to do that. Space is now 3D, but did nothing to improve the camera system from 2D Bomber Crew. You now have big ships to move crew around like FTL, but they kept the incredibly slow and clunky crew movement from BC (and made it worse with zero G). You have to worry about boarding and hacking like FTL, but they kept the BC system of forcing you to switch to external view to manually lock on to every target or your gunners will just sit there. You have as many stations and boarding that FTL demanded, but they kept the BC cap of always being 1-2 crew short of manning everything. You CAN enable manually targeting and raise the crew cap in settings, but they designed all the difficulty around these arbitrary restrictions and it becomes TOO easy (and still not fun). Just a mess that tried to cash in on the FTL craze by grafting it onto their previous, totally incompatible game. Not one minute of thought was put into adapting anything to make it all work. I slogged through even the ridiculously hard B-17 dlc for Bomber Crew, but I quit Space Crew after just 5 missions.
