Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes

FTL + BSG = FUN!!!

"Best FTL since FTL!" Before we begin as an FTL like you will be screwed over extremely hard by RNG there is nothing you can do about that sometimes the game just decides that this is where your run finishes. You will need to use all of your skills to try and mitigate this inherent screwing. Juggling multiple different crisis is to figure out a way to resolve all of them in the least moves possible. Sometimes you are just gifted good rng like that time my Raptor with the sniper cannon kept stacking rate of fire and range not too crazy until it was combined with a damage bonus the further away a target was the more damage it did. Or when the heavy fighter passively heals constantly and every time it defeats an enemy with taunt so you can keep them bunched up a good distance away from the mentioned sniper. Live for the overpowered synergy you discover because you will not enjoy them again. Six hours in playing on legendary difficulty I really thought I was going to beat my first campaign. Strong start a snow balling fleet providing me with enough resources. I tried to imagine each playthrough as its own series and this had all the drama. Coming down to a final crunch with my defending ships destroyed my fighter screen decimated and only 10 seconds left on the FTL calculation my flagship buckled. We knew we weren't going to get renewed for season 2 so we had to finish with a bang. From the backstreet deals with the underworld to keep resource is moving wild publicly putting pressure on them to keep the military and the workers happy. That last minute scramble in the final zone to secure 3 nuclear devices. Ignoring radiation leaks from the ftl through command incompetence or the compounding fuel leaks as the two refinery ships just pulled a thames water and kept enough supply going in it could just be ignored. A few brazen missions directly against the toasters to steal high value ships and equipment from them well worth the risk and forging fleet heroes. Or when that atomics launcher was sold to a monastery I didn't ask as I needed the scrap and I didn't need 2 of them define protection has atomic weight of 239. The infiltrator in our midst they didn't survive ejecting or they were dead by the time the recovery teams arrived. Trying to prove their loyalty taking on wave after wave of cylon Raiders. They had already pushed themselves to breaking point tending to high risk crisis is on the previous cycle The crew was as shocked as they were silent as I let them out of the brig only to be shocked again that they were actually gone taking toasters with them. I could have stop them they didn't have to prove their innocence or die trying.

A fun survival game, great for fans of Battlestar Galactica.

Like FTL but with additional existential dread

Amazing combination of buzzwords for me. An FTL-like with crisis management in a IP I love. if you enjoy resource management boardgames I'd definitly reccomend this, as half the game feels very boardgame like.

I really wanted to like this game, but ... 1) There is no way to tell a unit to hold fire and don't move. This makes life very, very frustrating on missions with mines. 2) The are unending crises and things that require your attention... including criminals, workers and your own military that are pack of whiny buttheads that won't shut up. To the point where you can't even finish an action with getting interrupted. If it weren't for these two massive annoyances, this would be a really good game.
