this game is literally what if Faster Than Light meet the Deckbuilding roguelike genre, and it's PERFECT. Fun af, balanced difficulty, high replayability. OST is a banger and character dialogues when they're interacting with each other are funny. took me around 25 hours to finish it, highly recommend. 10/10

Game is super neat with a lot of cool interactions
Recommended Sep 24, 2026
I was late to the reception given that I have only bought the game this past week, but I was immediately hooked—I have not played a ton of the modern deckbuilding titles but I loved my time playing right from the get-go! This game appears to draw inspiration from a few other games and I think it succeeds in creating a fun blend with its own unique personality. Speaking of which, I think what drew me in the most into the experience was the colourful characters crewing the ships. Uncovering bits and pieces of their past, the snippets of dialogue and interactions between ally and foe alike, it all made for a profoundly charming and endearing experience! If I could wipe my memory of this game and rediscover it via weird time loop shenanigans, I think I would do it all over again. Lovely piece of art, I don't regret it one bit!!
