Why is this game so freaking addictive?!
Why is this game so freaking addictive?! I can't quite put my finger on it and every time I die to some *(&()**#@$% event or get to the boss all maxed out and still manage to die yet again and swear I will never play this game (if you can call it that, I would say its more of a make all the right descions and you might not get punished as much simulator...) and time and time again I come crawling back and get all excited as I blaze my way through and get super lucky on every encounter only to get the boss to stage three and all the way to 5 bars of hp and still die FML! So if you enjoy pain, like games that really don't have good guides because everything beyond the basics are totally situational, or want to test your resolve against one of the hardest "easy modes" I have ever seen; give this one a try!

Better than expected
Loved this game, got all the ships and most of the achievements, but after beating it on highest difficulty in Advanced mode, can't bring myself to replay it for one reason alone: I will never get a win against the boss like that again. All but one crew member had died, my ship was boarded by the enemy, my last crew member was mind controlled, every room had a breach, oxygen was gone, and all remaining power was diverted to the single weapon firing on automatic that was being destroyed by my last, dying crewmember, which would also be enough to finish my ship off. Just before it broke, my crew member came back under my control, long enough to allow the weapon to fire one last time. My missle hit half a second before the rebel flagship salvo slammed into my ship. It was enough. My ship and the rebel flag both exploded simultaneously as the credits of victory started up. I can't top that. Ever.

One of the most fun little games I have played in a long time
One of the most fun little games I have played in a long time. Frustrating in places, and yet always an entertaining journey. The game has a massive random element to it, and even on normal difficulty can be frustratingly hard. You will need to play well AND get lucky, but the feeling you get when you finally beat the game with each cruiser is hard to describe ... relief and epic joy would be the best way to sum it up. Worth every penny, but be warned: This game can be addictive and you may lose a few nights sleep as you lose track of time and say 'Just one more sector' ....
