Really love this game. It's similar in feel to Hades so if you like that sort of loop you'll probably get at least a good amount of enjoyment from this game. It shines with multiplayer though, and I highly recommend playing with friends!

Awesome game to play with friends! It is a challenging tactical RPG with a great campaign mode and tons of options for playing. Every scenario is like a puzzle to solve and you have a bunch of different tools to do it. Highly recommend.

It's a fun deck building roguelite. I enjoyed the atmosphere, it's very grim and dark. Each class has its own synergies to explore. Downside is maybe that runs feel a bit same-y at higher difficulty but that's nearly every card-based roguelite I've played.

Captures the feel of Final Fantasy Tactics very well. I love that there's a multitude of viable strategies with the different class combos.

Very fun and fast paced roguelite in the same vein as binding of isaac and enter the gungeon. What sets it apart is the story and world building. Even though it's early access the world feels very fleshed out and complete. I look forward to playing for the story and character interactions as much as I do the slick and speedy combat.

My favorite game series of all time and an absolutely breathtaking addition to the series. To keep it very short and simple, this game is so well developed that it puts nearly everything else to shame. I have over 900 hours on Playstation and am working on getting there on PC.

This games is awesome, hands down. You pilot a ship, it starts out a bit small but you can get very large ones. The thing that makes this game awesome is that you can just go anywhere and do anything. There is a story mode but it's not really important or vital to follow, I have mostly ignored it so far. Combat is a lot of fun, there is no "strategic pausing" or anything to strategize, and you really have a ton of stuff to micromanage. That said, your mechanical ability to think quickly, pilot your ship, use items/abilities, and position properly have HUGE outcomes on the combat. If you're good, you can do a lot with a little ship, if you're bad you can to little with a big ship.

Combat is definitely an extremely fun aspect in this game but there is also so much more than just fighting other ships. The exploration in this game is really amazing. The landmarks (stations, planets, asteroid field locations etc) are static, everything else, the quests, the enemies, etc are completely random. You can pick a direction, put all power to engines, and fly to your hearts content. I actually spent an hour flying completely off the map. There isn't really anything noticeable out there except for a few enemies and such but it definitely took me an hour to fly back. So yea, the exploration aspect in this game is huge, think skyrim in space but no drauger.

So yea, awesome space battles, great exploration in a beautiful backdrop, it's really a lot of fun. The icing on the cake is the soundtrack. It's just ambient electronic but man it sets the mood well. I swear, this is the most relaxing game to play. Just mine asteroids, listen to the music, and be wisked away to a whole other solar system.

Anyway, if you like exploring, enjoy space, and like relaxing for hours on end running cargo, hunting pirates, and looking at stars, you'll like this game.
