good

fun, not much else to say really

Takes FTL to the level we wished it would have gone.

FTL на стероидах. За ваху не шарю совсем, да и на лор мне пох, но сама игра огонь, денег своих стоит. 20+ культистов с призывом гулей - веселая тема. Надеюсь саммонов не понёрфят, засирать вражеские корабли мясом очень весело

It's the weird, unauthorized lovechild of FTL and Warhammer 50k. Gameplay loop is similar to FTL, but without a fake fleet chasing after you, and with a few more options for encounters. Good replay value, even for people who have played several FTL-like games and over a dozen "map and encounter" rougelites. Multiple viable paths to success, not all equally good, and the ship/commander variants--unlocked with achievements or 'resonance' based on your score at game end--and RNG of what you get for systems, weapons, items, and crew is forgiving even at low "Torment" levels once you're comfortable. Music is good, worldbuilding is great, graphics are okay. Starts up darn slow on multiple types of machines--sometimes a 60 second wait--so give it a full two minutes for the application to pop open. Descriptions of things are basically accurate, but usually conceal nuances that aren't clear--that's been frustrating with resonance unlocks, but not a huge deal. Can definitely run on a machine with multiple browser windows and other things open if that's how you like to roll. You unlock an achievement by destroying a ship with only your mind, which is downright easy if you've got a few psykers and get lucky with the spells...uh...psigrams, I mean. Enough said.
