Very Positive · 95%Very Positive · 95%Subset Games2012Roguelike · Space Sim · Strategy
The verdict
A brilliantly tight, endlessly replayable space roguelike that is brutally hard and heavily RNG-driven. Skip it if you hate losing runs to luck or want steady progression.
Great for
Players who enjoy tough tactical roguelikes, pausing to micromanage crew, and modding with Multiverse
Main risk
RNG events and enemy ships can wreck a run regardless of skill, and the final boss is brutal even on Easy
What changed in the last 30 days
84 recent reviews
Recent negatives mostly repeat the RNG, brutal-difficulty and boarding complaints, plus a few bug reports like alt-tab breakage. No single update clearly explains it; confidence is low.

Unfair random events and boardings
