I love this game so much I'm going to make a pretty high effort review.

Synopsis
This game takes the tried and true shoot em up genre and turns it on its head... The ship you use can be customized and built in any way you want as you grab more mods / gear for it, literally endless opportunities....

Whether you want your ship to:
* Shoot enemies just like in any other shoot 'em up game... in a variety of different and unique ways... Close range, far range, charge attack, you name it.
* Have a battering ram ship that damages enemies by ramming onto them at the speed of light dealing ludicrous amounts of damage.
* Summoning heaps of powerful / supportive constructs that do your bidding for you for a more passive / lazy experience.
* Generate deadly burning shields / burning enemies with your ship's blasters to burn your enemies to a crisp...
* A combination of two, three or even all of these, and more...

And well, that's just the tip of the iceburg. You can mix and match, completely change builds mid-game and still miraculously survive... and even thrive... The possibilities for how you want your ship and playthrough to be are absolutely endless and the game never stops being exciting.

Tl;dr
I absolutely recommend this game if you like shoot 'em ups. It's pretty much my favorite one to play due to how limitless the possibilities are for each playthrough.

Achievement hunter section...
Oh yeah, I also 100%'d the game's achievements, so I might as well share how that went if fellow achievement hunters are curious:
Achievement 100% difficulty
I'd say it's quite a bit above average in difficulty, but not overly difficult. I think I had 3 or 4 achievements that I had to look up the solution of / had a bit of help from someone watching me play because I'm not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to problem solving... The rest of the achievements I figured out and did on my own. A few of the achievements required a good amount of skill and luck.
My personal hardest achievements
  • Ultra Chaos: My personal hardest achievement. This achievement requires the most luck and arguably skill though the skill required to get this is mostly based on how lucky you are.
  • Filled with determination: Tough but only because I suck at dodging. Requires a decent amount of dodging skill.
  • World Serpent: Easiest of the three but still requires a high level leviathan build, a body I've never really gotten used to...
My proudest achievements that I didn't look up a guide for
  • A Bold Strategy
  • It was at that moment, he knew.
