Down with the Ship

Personally I would like more to do other than reconfiguring my ship at the shop between battles, but for its limited scope, the game does it well.

I want to like this game, I really do. It starts out interesting while you are working out the mechanics. Then when you've worked out the mechanics, you realise: 1> It's stupidly easy to get to the 10th win (which is where ranking ends) 2> Game is stupidly imbalanced. A large part of this is due to the fact you can stack lvl 1 items 3> A few items are pretty much essential after battle 20+ like "Diesel Power" 4> Basically how your run goes is more based on the luck of what pops up on the market than anything you do, assuming basic competency. 5> After around battle 25ish, almost all the builds you face are '1 shot kill builds' based around point 2, with like 5 Weapons computers + multiple fuel pumps + True shots to deliver one massive shot right at the start of the battle. This could be a really fun little game but it just starts falling over hard once you hit 20-30 hour mark.

What if FTL was 1000 times more replayable and pvp? honestly, amazing game

Great theme and the characters/factions have a solid set of interesting playstyles. Haven't played enough to judge the balance but im certainly having a lot of fun with it in Coop. Worth a look if you're interested in inventory management style autobattlers.

I tried to demo before eventually buying this. Definitely play the demo! Its a very good indicator of what you can expect from the full game. The dev's deserve praise for such a strong demo experience. For its price, its a very fun autobattler, with plenty of fun, satisfying mechanics to play with. As a kid who loved Lego and space ships, this is kinda the perfect game for me lol. I've loved trying different builds, even if i know its probably bad, but enjoying hitting 10 wins regardless. I'm excited for the future of this game. More shop pivots for cool builds would be fun, and the stuff on the roadmap is quite exciting too.
