I got this game on sale, at about $10 CAD, and that feels about right for what I got out of it. This is a fantastic first person shooter-Roguelike game; but where many of these sorts of games advertise replaying them over and over, I found it really lacking in that regard. The game play just doesn't have enough variety in order to give it that little extra push. The shooter elements of this game are great, with tons of different weapons, secondary choices, and devices, to fit all kinds of different situations. The number of different ships, and their sizes are great, with their different types of specific rooms, as is the looting and building/upgrading mechanics. I think, for me, where I just couldn't bring myself to give it even a second play through, is the lack of enemy variety. You have plenty of enemies to shoot and explode on each ship in terms of volume, but when it comes to what they are, the number of different enemies, there are not many. The game mainly relies on upgrading these foes as you delve deeper into the nebula. This makes them stronger, faster, and can increase their abilities/give them new ones; but it doesn't feel like it is enough. There are weird Japanese toy vessels, convict ships, hospital stations, military frigates, fuel and administration stations, and so many more ship types. But when it comes to enemies you get Janitors, Juves, Screws, Scribes, and a few others, with security elements. Most of the enemies you fight fit in really well with the whole medical/convict/administration vessels, with Outpatients, Juves/Screws, and Scribes respectively and particularly; but where are the crazy Japanese robot foes? Or melee convict enemies, or zombies doomed to eternally wait in line, or garbage hauler monsters? I feel like there could have been so much more to the enemy variety, and the threat that they could have the player face. As it is, the game is fun. I got about 20 hours out of it, playing normally, and upgrading all my gear, eventually completing the game. But I almost couldn't bring myself to complete it, as I was getting bored, and I do not want to play through it again. I also refuse to pay $6 for a DLC with one more type of enemy (that by all accounts and reviews on it, seem to suck [no pun intended as they are vacuum robots]). If you can get it on sale like I did, and if you really really think you will be able to squeeze some more play time out of this game, then by all means, give it a go. It has great music, wonderful/creepy voice acting, super dark humor, a fantastic art style, and is a blast to blast through your enemies and loot derelict ships. It just doesn't have that, some extra to it, that would bring me back to it again; or have me recommend it at it's current price of $30.
