The battles in this game can really test your hardware, as in the impact resistance of your keyboard and mouse. Victory is sweetest asphyxiating assaulting marauders or teleporting rock men and giant mantids with the aid of a death dealing boarding drone to purge an enemy vessel. Each ship you send out is either going to be victorious or be torn apart, only saves are to pick up from one run. Luck finding parts in encounters can be a maddening factor at times, but the victories are nail biting and will leave you pumping your fist damning your enemies to the cold vacuum of space.

Combat is very strategic with regards to timing your weapons, targeting specific areas of enemies, and keeping your crew alive by any means. Sometimes this means sending someone in to repair the O2 while the airlock is opened to bleed fires out. Seconds matter and thankfully you can pause anytime to assign actions, which is critical. Well worth the 10 for fun. Replay may suffer after unlocking ships or winning
