Despite the game's beautifully designed characters, vehicles, and environments, I wouldn't recommend that you play this due to the excessive grinding required to unlock car upgrades and an extremely disappointing ending.

Somewhat unpolished, but fiendishly addictive. I'd highly reccommend this game to anyone who liked Terraria, as the factory building mechanic adds a nice twist to open world block-builders.

The most fun to be had playing this game is lauging at yourself for wasting money on it.

Phenominal game with a great community, fun maps, and challenging gameplay. The developers work hard to address the concerns of the community, and continue to improve the game with frequent updates. I cannot recommend it enough.

Buy this game right now. FTL was by-far the best rougelike of 2012, and Advanced Edition actually just made the game better. You're actually wasting your time reading these words when you could be adventuring in an addictive game of space chess, so stop.

It seemed like it could be fun, but the whole game lacks polish. I enjoy adventuring through the open world, but the poor combat makes every enemy encounter a chore.

It's okay. The whole thing is a bit of a clusterf**k.

My derranged laughter fell apart to physical illness as I sunk into this game's profound madness.

This game had the exact same effect as Shank on me. I felt immediatly uninterested in the story due to the (personally) dissonant characterization of the nameless Grimdark McMurder ninja. I would have preferred the option to not recieve the Mark, and find a resolution to this conflict via pacifist means. Being robbed of that decision shattered any chance of maintaining a fourth wall between myself and the game.

As you expand your base's defenses, there's a fantastic feeling that your small ship has become a powerful fortress.
