How it feels
You and your crew scramble to keep a starship running through chaotic space battles and exploration, with every role feeling vital and the pressure of survival constantly building.

What players say
Players call it a hidden gem, often comparing it to a space version of Barotrauma. The learning curve is steep, and the AI crew is widely considered dumb and unreliable, which pushes the game strongly toward co-op play. Reviews also consistently mention fuel scarcity early on and bugs with saving that cause talent points to disappear.
