A one-man's attempt at a Darkest-Dungeon style game in sci-fi setting.
Good:
- there are many abilities and effects, so there is a lot of meat in the game
- you make your party from 4 characters out of many available, so each replay with a different party setup will be very different. You can also change abilities of existing characters during the session
- levels, enemy groups etcA one-man's attempt at a Darkest-Dungeon style game in sci-fi setting.

- you make your party from 4 characters out of many available, so each replay with a different party setup will be very different. You can also change abilities of existing characters during the session
- levels, enemy groups etc are procedurally generated, resulting into even more varied experience
So-so:
- this game was made essentially by a single person and has rather simple pixel art. I'm neutral about it especially because the game's price is not high
- some music tracks are good but some (the guitar one) are annoying
Bad:
- GUI is poorly designed. Although the tiny characters (since they are pixel-drawn) leave tons of space on the screen to use, the dialogs of the enemies still overlap. Tooltips of abilities cover the whole party. Just for comparison, the GUI in Darkest Dungeon is much better designed.
- there aren't enough explanations. E.g. a tooltip for some abilitiy says that the ability applies some effect. But what that effect does is not in the tooltip.
Overall, it's a laudable attempt to make a Darkest-Dungeon style dungeon crawler game but the poorly designed GUI makes it rather inaccessible to new players even if you are ok with its super low-budget pixel art.… Expand
