It's fun, addicting, but with its flaws
This is one of those simple yet complex games that will hook you to the screen and make you forget about time.
It is fun and definitely worth $10.
Galaxies are somewhat randomly generated with random events as you move from a system to system, engaging different ships and enemies who board your ship.
Flaws:
* Not enough randomized content
There is unfortunately not much you can expect. For a game that is focusing rather on content than visual experience, this is disappointing.
* Way too hard
This is a personal preference, some might like it, I don't. There are 2 difficulty modes, easy and normal. I've been playing on easy only and even so, I can't get past the 5-6 zones.
I'm not sure why the developer decided to add enemies that chase you since they eventually make you rush to the exit. This is another thing that annoys me as I'm one of those players who like to explore everything. This doesn't even add any tactic, it's just "get to the exit before fuel runs out".
The problem is you can never expect what will happen. You will die, often. Getting far is mostly a matter of luck.
* Minimal ship design:
You don't really have many choices when you create your ship.
They come with predefined weapons or drones that cannot be changed. You can of course unlock new ships and buy new weapons/drones as you progress, but when it comes to initial design, it leaves a lot to wish.
This game is fun, I keep coming back to it, but honestly, it does make me frustrated. Not many games can make me rage, this one is one of them.
