FTL is hard but doable once you mastered the mechanics. Even after tediously and super efficient grind through a sector grabing everything without wasting a lot. This game just instagibs you at any given spot, where and when it wants without leaving an option. And this is not because of RNG just no chance. An example would be: Battle is basically won and as deathrattle the enemy ship shoots 3 big missles, one can usually be shot down and the others hit you for sure. And if you have a good module at that position and it gets destroyed(yes ship improvements can be permanently destroyed) for example you ressource container that contains all ressources, they are all destroyed. And the best thing is if you still win that fight, and dont have anything to salvage to build a new basic container the loot from the fight is also lost. (Superbad game design in my opinion) In FTL which i played a lot it is possible to win with every ship, without the rediculous perk grind system, i highly doubt this is the case on this one. It is quite obvious, when you look at the statistics of the game, because only a lower 1 digit percentage managed to finish the game with certain ships. and obvioulsy only 33% of the people who bought it give it more than 2 try´s. i did 3 attempts overall 6h and got chanceless jammed and destroyed without a chance to evade the battle. That´s it for me For the Moment i give it 2 stars, till some balancing and gameplay changes take place. 29.12.2019
I have very low amounts of time. But this game kept me till 2 O´clock in the morning, Feeling bad today, but dont regret a single minute. The gamepackage (Style, Sound, Visuals,...) i won´t descripe in detail, But me as a whole it´s 6 out of 5 stars. Buy it and enjoy!
