Fun When It's Fair, Which Isn't Often
I had my eye on this for a while but didn't want to spend the money given how the reviews seemed to describe the deaths as very arbitrary. I ended up getting it as a freebie for spending enough dough during the Winter Sale. My instincts were more or less correct but that's not to say there's nothing to like. I'll keep it simple, it's a visually gorgeous space combat game where you travel from area to area fighting enemy ships and salvaging materials in order to craft items, repair your ship, etc. It plays like a standard loot game in that way, randomly rolling the items and weapons that you'll find. The combat itself is very fast paced and "twitch." Fairly simply stuff here, fire lasers or guns with left click, missiles or similar with right click. Where the game and I differ is how it handles death and progression. It's one of those situations where the game knowingly starts you off without a chance in hell. Your entire goal is to collect whatever credits you can before you're dead, then spend them on the long-term goal of maybe one day getting a ship that's actually capable of finishing the game. You keep perks but lose all your loot upon restarting. But since it's a rougelike, death is very arbitrary. The game might just plop you into a swarm and you've got no chance. Or, one will appear after a certain amount of time. It suggests you take evasive maneuvers but that ain't happening, everyone else is much faster and more maneuverable than you are. If you're lucky the game will give you enough fuel. It's one of those games that I often describe as pointing a limp finger at you and going "ah ha you died." I'm not crazy about having to spend hours playing to finally earn actual gameplay balance. And recording your stats feels like a huge asterisk is needed since it's not so much skill as much as luck and the perks that define your success. But if you're into that then this is a pretty nice space fighter. Just don't expect to play more than a few minutes at a time.
