For 10 bucks it's a steal.

This game looks really beautiful. A fast-paced roguelite space shooter (run-based, but with permanent progression). Most ship designs and weapons are common archetypes, but there are some interesting surprises. You get 3 playable ships and a few dozen weapons and tools that encourage different playstyles. The story is nothing life-changing, but it is nice.

You are expected to die.
Roguelikes are repetitive by nature, but if you like dogfights, space and explosions with some story sprinkled in, this is a great game. Dying by slamming into a 2km warship stings, but you get to improve your chances and try out different gear.

DLC
The soundtrack is great, the best part of the deluxe edition. The artbook is also not bad, if you enjoy that type of thing.
The Encounters DLC adds the fourth player ship and some extra weapons and missions. It is not essential, but there's a French robot.

I recommend a mouse and keyboard for playing. Also disable autoroll in the control settings, it makes the ship much more responsive. If you played Galaxy On Fire 2, you'll love this.


tl;dr
Fast fighter combat with some story, pretty graphics and soundtrack, Encounters DLC is worth it.
