How it feels

A methodical, tactical dungeon crawl through alien facilities, blending sci-fi atmosphere with roguelike permadeath and class-driven strategy.

What players say

Players largely see this as a downgrade from the first game, calling it abandoned or unfinished. The move to 3D is widely criticized for making the game harder to play and less visually clear. Fans of the original are told to stick with part one, though a few hopeful players see potential that never materialized.
