I've got it, had a quick go. I'll be interested to see how it becomes a rogue alike because the tutorial doesn't look like one. This is based on a few mins of play so it's very early days. 

I'd recommend that you buy it from the devs and not steam. From the devs you get a drm free download and a steam key.

Turn based, class based, loot dropping randomly generated dungeon crawler basically.

Somebody answer my question about whether this is just single player.

I was worried that was the case.  Can't see myself spending the time required to play this style of game if it's just me, so I'm out.

Two hours, you say? Well, that changes everything; very good length for a game.

Might be three, I lost a track of time playing, but it isn't over long for sure.

Also, in your first few goes (especially on normal difficulty) playtime will be measured in minutes.

Having a great run at the moment.

Stupidly purchased an overpowered laser early with little consideration of the power requirement. To use it I had to shut down a load of other systems, often engine, which meant I could never escape from fights, and sometimes shields which saw me take a battering.

Was limping along, hull down to 25% when I ended up too close to a super nova which fried my systems only for two pirates to teleport on board and start smashing my ship up from the inside. Eventually managed to suffocate them by some shrewd door management, but they left a hell of a mess. Took a while to get the engines back on, before a random jump away. Thankfully no nasties were waiting in  the next system, so I patched up the hull breaches and carried on.

A couple of systems later and it's all looking good. Can now run the laser along side another laser and a smart bomb. You can teleport the smart bomb on board the enemy, so I use that to take out the shields then open up with the lasers.

I'm fully shielded up, got two mantis on board (crew excellent at repelling boarders) and am gearing up for the boss battle.

Top stuff.

Sounds it. Think I'll sign up to this.

Thread title might do with some disambiguation *shrugs*

I've just bought this.  I hope it's as good as everyone says, it's not like I don't have lots of stuff I need to play already.

Nice surprise to find out it's sold through Humble Bundle.

Quick question: what's the difference between "hanger" and "restart" on the game over screen?

Ah, that'll save me a few clicks, thanks; I'm restarting a lot at the moment.

Not that I've noticed. Depends how much you like chiptunes I guess.

The final boss is sooooo tough. Tried a few different permetations against it, with little success.

Currently rocking four different lasers that if fired together give me 9 shots - enough to rip through most shields and do a bit of damage.

Tried a run through where I tried using a teleporter to beam across my toughest crew, but ended badly when I accidentally killed two of them in a friendly fire incident.

I was up until half three playing this last night.  I'm a bit rubbish, though; if it doesn't throw me another permanent upgrade soon, I'm going start getting fed up.

Also, it needs an Android version.

I've read some reports of it being too big for some screens so I've had to give this a miss. I've only got a small netbook thing.
