What players say
Players call it a first-person FTL that is rough around the edges but a steal at its low price. The dated graphics (running on id Tech 4) are a common complaint, yet most overlook them for the fun of commanding a ship, boarding enemies, and managing a crew. A few mention technical issues like crashes and long load times.
