Most reviews compare this to FTL and it's understandable. I've enjoyed this game a lot and when I bought it, I stayed up almost all night playing the game. Which ended up bad for me, as I have a kid and he doesn't sleep late. But regarding the game. Some mechanics are somewhat similar, but there are large differences. While the game is more forgiving on random encounters, it's also more unforgiving as you have to take in consideration so more many things. With enemy vessels last breath, it fires a nuke and starts a huge fire which destroys your shield generator and your cryosleep module. You just sold all your resources for a stupid gun you don't need, so you can't build DIY modules. That sucks. You die. Wonderful game. 5/5 I'll surely spend many many fun hours with this game, failing and dying.
