An interesting game with a lot of ways to set up your crew but the mechanics are simplified enough that it becomes a bit repetitive rather quickly. It is fun though, the only real question is how long it can hold your interest which will vary from person to person.
Runs perfectly when run without Galaxy, has issues if you switch out of it while running from GoG galaxy. I suspect this has something to do with their overlay functionality, I have it turned off but it's the only difference I can imagine.
It's a game demo, you get a limited number of moves and nothing else. Don't bother because you don't even get enough moves to evaluate the game in any real way in that little time.
Says free, it is not. Rightfully it should say DEMO or similar, so as to not be misleading. As things stands this looks like it uses people's completionist streak to get them to buy the game.
So lets break it down. Pros and Cons Pros 1 - The game is novel, both in experience and design 2 - The ship design is interesting and extensive, allowing you to create something truly interesting. Cons 1 - Repetitive, this can not be underlined enough. Everything is done over and over, often in rapid succession, with no real variation. 2 - Alien Infestations, they will turn up and they will spread rapidly. At the beginning this is manageable, but as the ship grows larger they end up growing, and spreading, faster than you can personally purge them and your crew won't help contain them at all. You'll be crawling through the *very* extensive maintenance ducts, which will grow ever larger as your ship does, to kill them and have others elsewhere create several new nests in the time it takes you to wipe out one. 3 - Uninteresting expeditions. These are supposed to be the hook and line, the thing that gives variation to the game, but they genuinely do not. You arrive on planet, you mine a resource, you get attacked by aliens, you mine resources, you get attacked, you leave, you try to stop the aliens that followed on your ship from spreading into your ship. Rinse and repeat.
