    FTL meets Mass Effect = a snappy space opera proper. Surprisingly well balanced and enjoyable, from the wargame-style tactical battles to RPG elements to "dice-rolling" events - I didn't have so much fun for a long time. There is a lot of text-story, but it's quite good (a rare find these days). Super bonus: you can switch off the "typewriter effect" (I am so tired from it in games)

    In the words of Shakespeare, life is nasty, brutish, and short. The grim darkness of the far future has allowed it to be nasty, brutish, and short, over and over again. The gameplay was great, don't get me wrong, it's a roguelite with a good lore reason for being one, and the setting is also in-depth and filled out. The character writing of the captain is pretty good. So why am I not recommending it? Well,…
