What players say
Good but not fair. Space Scavenger is a fun rogue-like game where you must get to your home sector while scavenging for parts. I like the concept of having to think about how you design your ship (speed, defense, weapons, and ship size). Every part has a number of hard points, and some parts can not be rotated. This game has four levels (takes an hour on average), but it's challenging. It's quite easy to screw up...

Super chill and relaxing at the start, super engaging and tense at the end. The perfect game arc where each time one plays the gameplay both unique and fun.
