Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The game is a typical RNG simulator where what you've previously unlocked doesn't matter. Nothing you've earned during missions carries over, just cash. No modules, materials, even blueprints... nothing. If I knew how much influence I had…”
“There is a whole host of things that need fixing but the two biggest things are that each run is hella short (think of FTL/Slay the Spire but only 1 zone?!) and the AI is way too jank. In time, it could be good. As it is, nah. I'd wait.”
