Neat game, but the pacing and reward structure is very off from what I'm looking for in a Rogue-lite. I did really like the Alien/Prometheus-inspired scifi and the mysterious bits of story that get slowly unraveled. Unfortunately, each run takes far too long and most of the enhancement options and much of the loot you come across are of the risk/reward variety, offering an average buff for a significant debuff, or high chance of a potentially run-ruining debuff to open a chest which might contain nothing of value. The risks rarely felt worth the reward, so more often than not you just wind up avoiding consideration of those options, which limits the feeling of variety and progression that are so key to the genre for me.
