Good call. Love this game, sunk 50 hours or so in it somehow, and also paid less for it than I did for 1 hour of airport parking last night :)

i think the game is excellent . If you dont like 'roguelike' games then no , or if you hate to die or lose now and then.

I think easy mode is good and no shame on playing on that , especially to try new ships and stuff , it's still a challenge and fun.

Asking on a game forum is looking for bias, but that being said:

Pros:
Huge replay value.
Surprising amount of different tactics.
So cheap it's silly.
So good it's addictive.

Cons:
Most likely to rage-quit game ever (that's still really good).
Random rolls vs rewards and player skill are a little unbalanced for a rogue-like, inducing the above behavior.
Makes you want more, but there are only 2 devs.
