The Captain is Dead

I loved playing the board game, and this is a very faithful and fast-paced emulation of that. I hope they will also incorporate the expansion editions in the future for this game as DLC.

A solid game that matches the board game well. It's a difficult game to master as you are juggling many emergencies that need your limited resources. Well worth it if you played the board game and liked it or didn't want to buy the board game and still play it. I'm sad it doesn't come with multiplayer options as this game would be more fun with people to yell at and blame. Also there are some UI issues that make navigation or finding information a little hard. Also the internal links to things like steam leaderboards don't seem to work anymore. Buy this on 50% sale if you like board games, it's a fun one.

unplayable version of the very good board game. cannot get a good understanding of what is going on and cannot plan ahead properly.

Great game! Really hard to coordinate all your actions with just yourself. Must be really hard when playing the physical version with other people.

Good adaptation of the board game

It's a faithful recreation of one of my favorite board games, and so much more. The presentation is leaps and bounds above most other board game adaptations I've played. Sometimes the interface is a little clunky; sometimes the cargo pod doesn't always trade right, and sometimes it's easy to teleport the wrong person. Overall, I'd really recommend this.

По механикам похоже на смесь Древнего ужаса и Запретной пустыни. Постоянно метаемся, ремонтируем что-то, что выходит из строя, пытаясь накопить ресурсы на починку ядра, которое является условием победы. Адаптация сделана отлично, но сама игра скучновата. Например, вот ты собрал у одного персонажа ресурсы для починки ядра, но тут случайно к тебе высадились инопланетяне и тебе надо их убить, и теперь тебе не хватает действий на починку и всё это затягивает игру на ещё один однообразный круг.

Фигня какая-то (

If you like the board game, you will probably like this. For those not familiar, this game requires a lot of pre-planning, as well as resource and action management. If you try to wing it, you will probably die on anything harder than easy mode. You can play with any size crew, playing with 7 members makes the game harder, if you can't maximize your efficiency and planning with all 7. Any member who is wasting a turn hurts you. A random 7 person crew is probably the hardest mode. Teleporting crew members who's turn it is NOT, is very important for pre-planning. I find these 5 can to be a strong core for people struggling with the game, * Admiral or First Office (Draw Battle plans like crazy, override Alerts) * Engineer (get the repair tool and fix the Core and teleporter) * 1st Tactical Officer (Repair shields draw Skills) (Can swap soldiers here, if you want to shoot torpedos, and kill aliens easier) * Medical Officer (Research, Alert overrides if necessary, Heal people and draw skills) * Ensign (Swap tools and skills on everyone, and deal with any problem once you have the skills)

Amazing digital adaptiation. 10/10 Thank God for the tactical view otherwise this marvel would be unplayable :P
