Outstanding game. The level of tactical depth allows for a creative player to win most situations, and the variety of loadouts keeps it always interesting. I'm a huge fan of FTL, and this game reminds me of it in the best way. All I would want is more options in the settings. Things like UI scaling (the text can be a bit small on a phone), or graphics options since the game's impressive graphics and engine drain your battery quick.

Let me tell you... this game is AMAZING. Very well done. Every jump, which are numerous, leads to another encounter. Patience is key when first starting out. You'll get ground into the dust by bosses until you figure out how to prepare your ship and crew for those encounters. Once you understand the game, you'll be free to plot your way through the system and try out different combinations of tactics. Great, fun storytelling with nods to other nerd lore. Pick this one up.

This feels like what a game on a phone should be. There's long term strategy mixed in with real time battles with enough variation throughout to keep it interesting. the lore they've built for it is great. great game but giving it 4 stars because it's honestly too difficult. there's no progression after unlocking the different class ships. I'm a veteran strategy gamer but there's playthroughs with zero chance of victory even in normal.
