Would have given it 3,5 if it was possible. At the beginning, it was quite addictive. Sometimes you just have to make hard choices (like sacrificing a tank or letting a building be destroyed) but the end goal is what counts. Some battles you just can't win when there are too many enemies spawning and you have only three attacks. Sometimes the best shot to take out multiple enemies would also push them into the very building you are to protect. That, is good. The thing that I found underwhelming are the upgrades and new pilots. The new pilots often have skills that unlock under certain circumstances, which is nice, but highly circumstantial. Same with the upgrades that drop. It's random, and they often are too late or too few to really have an impact. The enemies grow harder in difficulty than you grow in strength, which is certainly challenging, but the impact of your new things are often just trivial. You may do more damage, but it still won't kill anything quickly enough - use of terrain, floods and blocking reinforcements is key in this game - sadly you just can't do it all. I liked the game, but it didn't keep me playing anywhere as long as FTL did. However, I will keep an eye on this developer for the next product :)
