It has promise, but may not be worth your time.Pros:Cheap. At the time of purchase this only cost 15 cents.Decent help. The help screens if you flip through them do a pretty good job of explaining how to play. Some of the art assets are OK.Cons:This is a very rough around the edges product. There is a lot of polish missing.Small spelling errors throughout ("sacrifise", "3 enemies is approaching", etc.)Gameplay itself is both easy and boring, and yet also tedious. You start off slow and will be hitting the end turn button a lot.The map does not scroll with you which gets annoying as soon as you can move faster.The art is pretty bad in many cases.The font is too large. The whole game feels designed for a phone and not for a PC.The later gear does not have clear descriptions, and there are no pop-up or context menus on anything. This means that figuring out what new gear does is a matter of trial and error. Now you CAN flip gear back and forth for free, so this helps. Sometimes I noticed no difference from equipping a new piece of gear.A story is told, but you have no input, and I found myself quickly skipping past the screens.Needing to quit a level and "lose all progress" to spend skill points quickly gets annoying.At the end of the day it isn't bad for someone's first try at a game. This is not the sort of project that should be sold, unless you like paying for someone else to learn game design. The game is boring, easy and tedious with poor artwork. It feels like a school project.3\/10. I admit, I bought it initially for the cards.But it is actually kinda fun. Requires more thought than you would think a 99 cent game would require. I am about 8 hours in and nearly done with everything, but for 99 cents that is worth it. I'd recommend it.. This is an interesting little space roguelike made in a free version of unity.

So, we get an instructional slideshow, accessible from the main menu, instead.. I have no idea what I'm doing here. Controls are wonky, and the "Instructions" is just a crappy slideshow that does not really explain anything. I have yet to beat the opening mission, because nothing is explained well AT ALL. I don't want or need my hand held... but for something as complex as this, the systems need to EITHER be intuitive or at the very least, well explained. Here they are neither.Full disclosure, MOST of my playtime is from leaving the game idle overnight to card farm... but the time I have put in has really gotten me no closer to understanding the game or its mechanics. And, as far as the card-farming goes, I only got 3 copies of the SAME card and doubt I'll be able to break even on my 15 cent investment. So... not really worth it from the "Steam Economics 101" standpoint, either.I'll probably give this one another try sometime down the line, and if it gets the SIGNIFICANT polish it NEEDS, I'll change this review. For now, though, I really can't recommend this.. I have no idea what the game is. 8hrs? i don't even remember the games name lol..... Must have been one of my drunk nights in outer space or something..... I recommend it only because i don't remember it...... Boring game.
