I really wanted to enjoy this one, the roguelike setup certainly makes for an interesting take on the space combat genre, and its look, presentation and everything else about it is incredibly well done.

Which is why the control scheme not clicking with me at all feels like such a shame.

I really wanted to like the game, but to me the control scheme just felt wrong. Whilst the game isn't a simulation, the fact the player must continually hold down a key/gamepad button to move forward makes combat feel incredibly uncomfortable to me.

Even with a gamepad (a DualShock 4 in my case), the lack of button rebinding meant I couldn't get a set up which felt natural to me, and ultimately, after a good hour or so put into the game, I found myself fighting the controls, more than fighting Outlaws and other enemies.

It's possible the controls may work better for you, than they did with me, but unless they are improved greatly, I don't think I can recommend this one, to my disappointment.
