What players say
Basically a direct clone of FTL with higher graphics and a few twists here and there. I enjoyed FTL a ton and was looking for another option that got close to that style of game play and this matched. I don't think there are any new updates coming anymore for this title, but it's worth a purchase while on sale. *I encountered a single crash in 84 hours, but other than that, it was smooth gameplay with no frame lag...

It's literally FTL with a graphics overhaul and mild story changes. If you haven't played FTL, play that instead. If you have and want that, except more please and with better graphics then this is fine. Seriously, though, it's almost a direct copy/paste of about 90% of that game's mechanics.
I'd like to recommend this game, but I can't. The graphics are nice, but the default difficulty is unforgiving of mistakes in any capacity and making money from anything is difficult at best, a veritable nightmare at worst. Gamebreaking bugs have cost me one playthrough already, and four bomb-happy encounters in a row cut another before I even left the first sector. To the devs: Please fix your game!
