Bleh - I couldn't be bothered to finish this. It had a lot of potential, but it just isn't much fun.
- Team AI is horrid. I can live with them being mostly pointless or just serving as special ability vehicles, ala Mass Effect. However they are aggressively stupid. Periodically they will decide their cover is bad, and charge forward into the enemy, or way over-extend themselves. This would be a stupid nuisance, if it wasn't for the permadeath. If you could tell them "go here" and rely on them STAYING there, that would be ok too.. but the moment an enemy lobs a grenade, they take off.
- Abilities are lackluster. Only 3-4 abilities per class is sort of boring. Often a guy would level and I would bring up their level-up menu to see what neat stuff they would get, and be disapointed.
- Enemies are bullet sponges.
- Most weapons don't feel very effective.
- While the game starts by sort of implying there will be upgrades and upgrade trees, it is boring. There are laser upgrades to the main weapons (that are not even reliably an upgrade.. I'm convinced the Laser SMB is worse then all the bullet weapons). Every character gets basically 1 gun, and 1 backpack. The backpacks each have a different type of buff (+dmg to shielded enemies, +dmg to headshots, etc), and thats it for their equipment.

All told, I was fairly disapointed in this. I figured at 7 bucks or so (the sale price I paid) it would be a good time with action similar to mass effect but meh. If they kept the combat system but had more depth to the powers, more depth to leveling, better AI, and more depth to equipment, this could have been awesome.

Game is somewhere between an Alpha state, lacking in basic features (example - a minimap, or radar; a sector map you can scroll around or zoom; the ability to order your ships to go there, or wait here; any sort of automated trading) and being feature complete but just an abominably buggy mess, i.e. beta.

I am a fan of Egosoft, and a fan of the X games, and I have to say sadly this game is months away from being ready for release... and yet here it is. I strongly discourage anyone from buying it right now.

I firmly believe Egosoft will pour more blood, sweat, and tears into this, and it will be amazing at some point in the next 2-24 months. But right now, avoid this.

I rarely regret a game purchase, but in the last 5+ years, this is one of the few purchases where if I could return it and get a refund I would. Its very disheartening to have paid full price, and know that by the time they finish this or make a playable game out of it, the stupid thing will be selling for half price.

After a long day of soul crushing corporate BS, this (and a quality IPA, preferably 6% ABV or higher) is precisely what I need to unwind.

Absolutely phenomenal indie game. This was my first successful kickstarted game, and I've been playing it for a week straight. Great balance of fun and challenge, lots of combinations of ship gear to try, easy to pick up and play for a bit and stop, or you can play a whole game in 2 hours or so, although most games end with you exploding pathetically in the silent void inbetween stars. If the concept is at all intriguing to you, I highly recommend it.

I never played the dungeon crawl games of this style, as I didn't start PC gaming until the mid-90s or so, but I was excited to try this as a sort of artful return-to-roots. These guys have done a fantastic job creating a high-quality experience that (to my understanding) stay's true to the original forms. Visuals look great, audio design is great and the game is great fun for a great price. Highly recommended.

A phenomenal follow-up to the original Deus Ex. Unique art style (black and gold lol) that some find off-putting, I thought this was a tremendous game worth additional play-throughs. Paid full price and was happy with it. At the time of this writing it is on sale for 4 days for 10 friggin dollars. That is an amazing bargain for a game this hot.

An indie tour-de-force. As an action RPG this rates a solid "ok" or "decent". However, if like me, you play games for their unique experience, then this is a can't miss title.

Absolutely fantastic space action. Bought in beta, played it nonstop for a week. Highly recomended.
