First I'd like to start with the graphics which I absolutely adore, TCID has a unique style that feels all too familiar.

I managed to win on the lowest difficulty after a few tries, so you'll get the hang of some of it eventually, especially if rng is on your side (it never is). it's a pretty good game with plenty of variety and replayability, done well, save for some ui/control issues, but the same thing on mobile is $10, which makes $20 for the pc version too much. might be a good idea to wait for a sale.
Co-op

The Captain is Dead is one of my all-time favorite co-op board games.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

The sounds of this game are great too, the sfx and OST really back up the picture of being in a do or die situation in space.
