What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
It takes the core FTL rogue-like idea of travelling between sectors in order to achieve a certain goal (which we don’t know yet as the story has not been fully implemented) and builds up on it by adding mining and sector saturation (from Into the Stars, meaning the longer you stay in the same spot the worse it gets, so you can’t mine and loot forever), trading and basic missions (so far), very much like Freelancer, and the rest is innovation – unlike any of those 3 games, here you have upgrades that persist, and more importantly, the ability to craft ammunition, and even systems and weapons for your ship once you discover the necessary blueprints.
This game is not a bad value—it offers plenty of replayability and will take you a long time to beat, with serviceable gameplay.
Perfectly optimized graphics, easily holding 60 fps on 1080p at all times.
