What players love

What players love

Players who loved FTL say this is FTL with a story: a tactical rogue-lite where you command a battleship across a fallen empire and read every line, with a soundtrack reviewers rate as high as the writing. They praise the pixel art and the dark sci-fi atmosphere, find the fleet combat rewarding once worked out, and point newcomers to the demo, a sixth of the game.
