    Any body tried this out yet. Seems to be a rogue space game and looks lovely. The majority of reviews Ive seen online are very positive...

    It's on my Wishlist for the Steam Sale. Looks like my type of game.

    I really like it. Enemy diversity/encounter types gets a little repetitive after a few run throughs, only downside really.

    Graphics are lovely, weapons are fun. They walk a good line between true rogue-like elements of losing your progress while also having a sense of progression and continuity outside of each run. Story is surprisingly good for a game like this. Fully integrates with the rogue-like gameplay; there is a reason you're making repeated attempts to make it to your destination.

    It's compatible with VR but I didn't find it very enjoyable, went back to playing on a normal screen.

    I've been tempted by it for a while, as it looks great, but held off for some reason. Not normally a roguelike (is that a genre now?) fan, but i do love space stuff.

    Might get it in the sale (i'm sure we'll get a 20% off or something like that).

    Got a steam gift card for christmas so decided to pick this up while its on sale. played for an hour and refunded. Not that its bad but I know I wont play it much, might as well refund will I get the chance. Im sure it will be much cheaper soon enough.

    I dont suppose ill get the refund in time for the end of the winter sale this evening though..
