Relic Space

It looks like a cool game at first, with tactical combat, 4 skill trees, possibility of trading, absolute freedom of travelling in space and doing different kinds of quests and upgrading your ship. But then, say 4-5 hours later you realize that you just got yourself into a farming game. The combat is not that tactical anymore, you just use your few skills again and again as soon as the cool down lets you. Then you eventually afford better ship so you buy an extra weapon and so you can take down deadlier ships - but guess what, with the same maneuvers/skills as before. You just have more DPS, more shields, more power. I am so sad to give 'not recommended', because the game actually has all that I like, except that the tactical combat is so repetitive and so boring.

Interesting game, but falls flat, imo. It had a 1.0 release, but it seems...unfinished. There are definite ui deficiencies that should be addressed. You can't move the map around freely, so you'll need to constantly zoom in and out to make sure you're moving to your target efficiently. Screen is a bit cluttered with information and I couldn't see anyway to turn that stuff on or off. The movement of the ship is a little janky too, though I feel like that's more of a feature of the game than something inherently wrong. I bought this game when it was in early access and was hoping to play it for a bit once it fully released, but again...I feel like it's not quite complete yet.

This game is a cool idea and fun for me when it works right. Unfortunately it has a lot of problems such as bugs that mess up your run and overtuned enemy scaling. It's also very repetitive.

Boring same missions over and over again. Combat is so-so. Nothing interesting actually. I haven't expected much, but it was even worser

it takes a little getting used to but it is super fun once you manage the energy consumption and heat build up then the real fun can begin also I recommend doing any relic missions available. If you have any questions leave them in the comments I willtry to answer them if I can

Great little game with ship mechanics that set it apart from the typical roguelike. Missions are generated following a few simple templates. The main storyline is told in a sequence of events where you're generally driving the narrative, but sometimes you go do other things while the story unfolds. The tech progression system is unique in how the relics you collect impact the options you get going forward. The economic trading system is a weak point. It makes you some money but nothing compared to what you get running missions. It feels like a game where the developer had intended to do more, but there wasn't enough pick-up to justify continued investment. A shame really, I've had fun with it, and would have loved to have more content there.
