First of, I got this game for free with one of my other purchases so I can't say whether it's well worth the price tag. On the other hand, given the piles of $h!t we we've served over the last year by our AAA industry I'll go out on a limb and say that the 30$ price is certainly fair. I played for 5 minutes, logged off and bought the DLC. I was so impressed with the level of polish I felt I was robbing the dev by playing my free copy. In short it's a cross between Descent (yeah that old game we used to rock back in the 90s), FTL and Deadcells. It almost feels like FTL 2 in 3D in the best possible way. I read that the game was inspired by other simillar titles but I haven't played any of them so I can't say much in that regard. Pros: - Great SFX, Music, Voice acting; - Cheesy story that smells like a B movie rip off of an overhyped blockbuster that tanked at the box office. Love every bit of it! - Top notch controls; - Simple crafting system that is easy to understand and use; - Lots and lots of stuff to shoot and even more stuff to shoot it with; - Can be insanelly hard if you let it; - Fight off a pack of enemies with 30 hp left and then die by accidentally scraping against a derelict hull of some monstrosity. Best facepalm moments ever! - PERMADEATH! Yes, it's awesome and no, you can't save and reload just before the Elite showed up. Cons: - Could use a bit of UI polish in the menus; - Needs more stuff to do; - Perhaps the tutorials should be expanded to explain some of the intricacies of the game; Closing thoughts. I love this game and find it thoroughly enjoyable. It's not for everyone but if you are a bit of a sci-fi nerd and like to blow $h!t up with phasers, grab your clone and jump in. It's a fun ride!
