Amazing!

The game I love the most playing! It has been years and I never get tired of it!

Le jeu est dingue.

Vraiment. Laissé de côté pendant quelques mois, j’ai été absorbé quand je suis tombé dedans.

Letra muy pequeña

Es entretenido y con buena historia. Un juego de verdad y no lo que encuentras gratis. Es más para iPad que para iPhone ya que la letra es diminuta y consume muchísima batería

Worth The Money

No micro transactions. Roguelite gameplay that builds death and respawning into the story. Both combat (main gameplay loop) and planet expeditions (mini games) are fun. Only complaint is there a long dialogue at the end of chapter 5 with no save in between. If you don’t finish the dialogue you have to fight the sector boss again. But that’s pretty minor.

Brilliant game

I didn’t expected such a great game. They speak about “runs” so I was expecting an easy game that you would then play in different difficulties. But doing different runs is part of the main game. The story is great and the strategical part of the game challenging. I loved playing it!
