Reviews
First of all this review is written while the game is in Early Access, so whatever I write here might or might not apply to the final game. This game is a clearly a FTL clone, in itself this is not a bad thing, they have some interesting different mechanics that make it potentially interesting to play. However playing the game doesn't give any of the vibe which made FTL so great, it most of the time gives just a lot of frustration because the UI is very unintuitive and bothersome. Something that could(and should) be accomplished in one click ofter requires 5 or even more clicks to complete. Furthermore the english used in the game feels like it is badly translated from chinese. I really hope the devs will fix these issues, cause the game does have potential. At this point however I cannot recommend this game. TLDR; If you are thinking of buying this game, go play FTL instead.
Game has been much improved. The tutorial still has somewhat bad English, but it's understandable enough to get through and learn the interface. The game is actually playable now, got through to the end boss, but the ship was so damaged by the engagement that there was no hope (I hadn't actually gotten the drones active like I thought I did, one of my weapons I had just switched out needed rockets that I didn't have, two stupid mistakes on my part). After jumping away, my crew repaired everything, but I wasn't able to revisit any trade stations, going back just showed an empty space where the station was (I'm very close to switching to a positive review - there's a fun gameplay loop. Game could use a few minor changes to make drones easier to use, maybe make going back to stations possible on boss retreat).

There is not much to say about this game besides it being (obviously) an FTL clone and being boring. While the first is acceptable, the second isn't, so I'll go and refund it.
Good clone of FTL. Not that I imply making clones of other games is good practice, yet this one is worthy. Pros: -Good game mechanics were added if you compare it to FTL: battle of several ships, more game modes, -Good sound/graphics that keeps good style of FTL. -Low price of the game. I do not understand really why this is so cheap. Cons: -Imbalanced so far. Original FTL was far from being easy, This game however, is almost not beatable even on easy difficulty. -Performance is not ideal on weak computers, on my laptop sometimes mouse movement was not smooth.
It has some features missing from FTL, some new features. Responsive developers who clearly care about the game, so it's worth buying!
Купил в ожидании, что наконец то идею FTL разнообразят, углубят и расширят. А в результате клон один в один. Может с релизом все резко изменится и откроется многоликий космический мир и разнообразные путешествия и интересные истории. Вряд ли. Но посмотрим. Пока палец в низ.
It's not good, I only payed 50p for this though so no point refunding. I love FTL and have played other FTL clones and most are better than this. Putting aside the confusing UI and the tutorial which doesn't really explain everything; the game is very glitchy to the point where you can jump to other systems and the glitch refusing to show anymore information will continue. FTL perfected the simple use of other weapons, this pointlessly made them annoying to bring to action. Skip this one guys, if you're looking for an FTL clones "Shortest Trip to earth" "Crying Suns" or even "Space Rogue" are much more enjoyable.
It's a roguelike FTL clone, however I can't recommend this game at the moment despite very low price. On the one hand the game offers everything and more content than original "Faster Than Light" yet it lacks the unique vibe and nice midi tunes. Next, controls and UI are highly unintuitive or impractical (for example using weapons). The writing happens to be dull and silly (invasion of intelligent pigs with absurd choices which are technically the same) and English sometimes feels as it was poorly translated from another language. The game in theory isn't in early access but there's plenty space for development and patching up. Better play another round of FTL.
It's fine if you really want more FTL to play, but there's really no reason to choose this over that unless you've already gotten everything that you possibly can out of it.
