The Good & Bad review

The Good & Bad review General Description of the game: > Battles are turn based, its like 2D version of XCOM > Loot based, got different weapons such as sniper, shotgun, etc. > Requires basic level of aiming > Player can shot down enemies' hat and collect it > Can shot robots into pieces ;) > Teamate does not have perm death The Good + No time limit (You can grind level if you cannot pass through). This allows me to play without having the pressure to rush to fight the boss + Unlike XCOM, you can control the aim of the gun. Added a layer of challenges to player The Bad - Tiny problem but every time when I leave the game inside my own ship, the game won't save. If I did something like inventory management work before I leave the game, I may need to do that again when I start the game next time. (Developer Patrick Baitman has replied a workaround for this situation: "A workaround is to dock with a bar afterwards, which makes it save.") - The game may get repeatitive - Difficulty does not improve the AI, they only get better damage and health instead of becoming smarter Verdict - Its satisifying to see your plan executed perfectly and killed every enemies - This is like a casual version of XCOM - Hat system is fun

I hadn't realized how much I missed turn based combat driven games until I played this game

I hadn't realized how much I missed turn based combat driven games until I played this game. + Fun and enjoyable 2D turn based gameplay + Charismatic art style + Amazing soundtrack with the contribution of Steam Powered Giraffe + Lots of customization to suit your crew to your playstyle + Hats - Alright plot that feels slighty rushed at the end
