The verdict
A tense, punishing FTL-like roguelite that captures the Battlestar Galactica mood well, but events repeat fast and crises pile up. Skip it if you hate RNG or clicking through dialogue.
Great for
BSG fans and FTL or Crying Suns players who enjoy hard roguelites, fleet management and tense choices
Main risk
Relentless crises, RNG and repeated events get tedious after a few runs, with lots of dialogue to click through
What players love
Great FTL-like roguelite loop
Mentioned in ~1 in 4 positive reviews
“Scratches the FTL/Crying Suns itch so well!”
