  • Deep strategic gameplay with diverse mechanics, providing a complex and engaging experience for players who enjoy challenging dice and resource management.
  • The digital adaptation features an excellent tutorial and automates many rules, helping players learn the complicated systems more easily than the physical game.
  • Strong replayability due to numerous homeworld, society, and adversary combinations along with solo and local co-op modes.
  • The game has a very steep learning curve and high difficulty, often leading to frustration and a feeling of being overwhelmed by complex mechanics and punishing encounters early in the game.
  • Balance issues result in some character and adversary combinations being nearly unwinnable, with resource management systems feeling overly punitive and sometimes unfair.
  • Limited online features and some interface quirks reduce accessibility, and the game’s visual presentation is utilitarian, lacking polish and dynamic animations that could enhance engagement.

    The gameplay offers unique and varied mechanics that enhance replayability, especially with diverse adversaries and options to utilize low dice rolls creatively. However, the complexity and poorly explained mechanics, coupled with an awkward tutorial, create a steep learning curve that can make progress feel frustrating for new players. Once mastered, the game's depth and interlocking systems provide rewarding strategic experiences.

    • “I love the new and different mechanics; I love the new style of being able to interact with all four "doors" at once.”
    • “I love having each adversary have a very different mechanic.”
    • “In one deck galaxy, there are additional mechanics that allow you to use low value dice in other ways, such as launching a probe or studying a location to increase the science value of the starbase.”
    • “Most of the time, the gameplay feels less like making progress and more like slowly drowning.”
    • “There were several times in the game when I was presented with a mechanic but could not figure out how to implement it.”
    • “The various mechanics were not self-explanatory and the oddly scripted tutorial didn't help.”
  • music

    • “For the digital version specifically, I really like how they implemented campaign mode, all the fun and interesting achievements they added, and the soundtrack, which is amazing (Preservation Authority is my favorite).”
    • “Lastly, as always, Handelabra embraces you with a soothing soundtrack, pleasant graphics, and a high-quality experience overall.”
    • “Not to mention the physical game doesn't come with a soundtrack.”
