"Giant alien spiders are no joke." -- person making a bad life decision
An impressive starship roguelite, with intricate ship-to-ship combat, careful trade-offs, a good variety of random events and ship parts (especially with the free Advanced Edition expansion), and a lot of smart design. Being able to freely pause the real-time combat however you want is deeply appreciated, and lets you take your time with planning your tactics. I adore the music, which has a good blend of more ambient and more melodic pieces.
My only major critique is that the difficulty levels feel mis-labeled. What they call Easy / Normal / Hard, I think would be fairer to call Normal / Hard / Very Hard.

Top "dungeon crawler" (in space) game. Phenomenal OST by Ben Prunty that puts this game ahead of other 4 star games. I feel like there was a bit of story telling opportunity that was missed - but overall a flawless game.
Endless replay value, try different builds with different crews. That last boss is TOUGH!
This game makes me want to commit genocide against the space races
This honestly might be one of the best games of all time. It makes me want to blow my brains out though. Its aesthetic is peak, its music is peak, and its gameplay is satisfying and addictive. I don't know if any game can compare to the dopamine rush you get from actually winning here.
I love this game so much
