This Kickstarter-funded, roguelike spacegame is going to be released today on Steam and GOG.com.
I wholeheartedly recommend watching this "WTF is..." - TotalBiscuit at his best. smile

You can also buy it straight from the devs and get it with a steamkey too.

I'm really enjoying this game right now.

10% off on steam and I just picked it up.

Edit - First fight, doors disabled, 2 crew members trapped in flaming compartments die. The only crewman alive is the pilot.

Tutorial needs a little work but otherwise a tough little game.

I bought this. I think it's kind of annoying that it's not turn-based but whatever.

I have been playing since yesterday and I feel this game is a steal. Sure, there is room for improvement (I play on "easy" which is close to "normal" in other games), but overall I am very impressed. The feeling of five Mantis soldiers slaughtering your crew while realizing that installling the anti-personnel drone probably would have been a great idea is taking me back to my early gaming days. lol

I wonder if we will see some reports on this one at some point in time - USS Realms Beyond anyone? smile

I know but it is slow enough that it doesn't matter.
