    RymdResa is a special roguelike in which you are humanity's last hope. You might not like the repetitiveness of the game, but they can bring you in a melancholic trance in which poetry is the higher power. Its minimalism is elegant, the storytelling is interesting and the surreal space experience makes RymdResa a moving piece of art.

    Original gameplay, difficulty level and the atmosphere of loneliness create interesting and engaging roguelike game, which unfortunately is a little too irritating in the last chapter.

    A strange, sad, introspective tone poem of a game. Totally engrossing if you have the patience. [Oct 2015, p.65]

    It's a little project, but also an ambitious one, with RPG elements and slow paced exploration thrown in the mix. Unfortunately we weren't completely convinced by the game's pace and the design choices. If you like spaceships and are not scared of dead moments, you could find something to love in RymdResa.

    Despite its flaws, RymdResa offers a mostly relaxing experience and is something a little different from the norm.

    It’s pretty minimal in its design, difficult to get into, and a bit cumbersome to navigate. I’ll freely admit that, on my first few plays, I planned on giving it a pretty low score. As I played a bit more, though, it began to grow on me and the frustration faded as I learned pilot, manage resources, and make use of upgrades and consumables.

    With time and patches, this could be a must play, but as it is I can only cautiously recommend RymdResa as a game with fascinating ideas and inconsistent execution.

    RymdResa is quite interesting 2D "space exploration" game, that I would qualify as an artistic experience of a sort. While it's replayabilityRymdResa is quite interesting 2D "space exploration" game, that I would qualify as an artistic experience of a sort. While it's replayability is limited, I think that for indie-like game it is quite good and worth trying, just to see what creators have prepared for the players. It has a particular ambiance and gameplay is quite simple, typical for indie like games, yet effective. The low score of that game on metacritic is surely not earned. Expand
