The gameplay is engaging and dynamic, featuring a unique sci-fi aesthetic and a rogue-like structure reminiscent of games like Brotato and Vampire Survivors. Players appreciate the variety of weapons and mechanics, as well as the ability to upgrade ships and expand space colonies, which ensures that each run feels fresh and offers hours of entertainment. The short level design allows for quick play sessions while maintaining a challenging experience.
“A rogue-like game similar to Brotato/Vampire Survivors with a very unique visual style: pretty backgrounds, ships, and weapon/ship parts, but tough gameplay.”
“I've played a couple of rounds, and I am really impressed with the different weapons and game mechanics.”
“The individual levels are short enough for a quick game; at the same time, the many possibilities to upgrade your ship, increase the size of your space colony, and invest in research change the game enough with any run to keep it interesting for many hours of gameplay.”
“The gameplay is tough, which can be frustrating at times.”
“While the visuals are impressive, the gameplay can feel repetitive.”
“The mechanics are interesting, but they don't always translate into enjoyable gameplay.”

The story revolves around completing missions to rescue crew members, who can then be integrated into your colony ship to assist in research and upgrades for future missions. Players can enhance their gameplay experience by strategically assigning rescued colonists to various roles, which adds depth to the narrative progression. Overall, the story emphasizes growth and resource management as players advance through increasingly challenging missions.
“If you complete your mission (or get the upgrade for extra escape pods), you bring back all the crew members you rescued and can add them to your colony ship where they can be assigned to either the hangar, factory, biolab, or shrine, allowing you to research permanent upgrades for future runs.”
“That brings me to the final part of the review - I'm still on the first mission on the first difficulty level out of 5 for this game.”
“So I'm assuming once you complete your first mission and subsequent ones, you can be nabbing an extra 5 colonists and getting some pretty decent upgrades to help with future runs.”
