Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
130 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game is an amazing combination of roguelike mechanics with the themes of the BSG reimagining.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
92 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
FTL's combat worked because it built complexity out of many simple moving parts and was FAR more variable and dynamic in ways that this system just . . . isn't.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For roguelike fans, the game offers not only quite a lot of meta progression through the Fate system, but an absurd amount of replayability through story choices, RNG, different fleets, and a massive variety of achievements and unlocks.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics and art style are actually quite charming with a retro feel, very aesthetically pleasing, and let the game run with superb performance.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music, as mention in the super short version, is great, but absolutely not as good as the shows OST and swapping them is a massive improvement.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's quite a lot going on, balancing heroes, ship upgrades, crises, resource production, cylon investigations, POI's - you absolutely can't do everything, and that's the mark of a well balanced game.
