So I thought I've been fed up with rogue-like games but this game prooves me wrong. What you get is a space exploration game about sending drones through other ships, collecting scraps, log files, new drones, fuel and everything you need to survive the dark and unforgiving space. All of this is controlled through a terminal window (and the drones can be "driven" directly through your trusty arrow keys). The concept of controlling your drones through command line is done really well and every Sysadmin or IT-Specialist will feel right at home. From a gameplay perspective the game is more or less compareable to a puzzle game, you go through different areas opening gates and collecting whatever you may find, be it parts to upgrade your drones and ships, lost drones that are still functional, destroyed drones looting their innards to get new abilities for your existing drones. Throughout your exploration you'll have to face different sorts of enemies and here comes the puzzle part: you have no real defence, so in order to get around these hazards you have to use your scanning abilities in combination with opening and locking gates to lure the enemy where you want them so that you can savely explore a new room. If you die it's over, period. This game is definitely addictive, you never know what really waits for you around the corner, you have tons of upgrades for your drones and your ship so you'll get a decend ammount of variety. If there is one game that uses procedural generated environments right then it is THIS game. Last but not least lets talk a bit about the command line interface. It is easy to use and you get a fairly decend set of commands that you can use to navigate your drones, open gates, change the air lock extraction point of your ship, power generators and interact with interfaces. It provides shortcuts for the commands and allows you to interactively work with a lot of things, just like you'd do in your daily job :^) Definitely a recommendation!
