I just played the tutorial and I'm not sure I really like it. It reminds me of a more fleshed out version of a mobile game I used to play called seedship
It seems to have a wild difficulty curve, even on easy, but focusing on a specific build seems to help. It's addictive after a bit. Make use of the pause function and help distress signals for free-ish upgrades for sure
I mean, if you don't gel with the combat then yeah its probably not for you. But there are other builds. Drones, transporters, mind control and hacking plus different weapon types.
Bruh it was the first time I made it to sector 8/last sector on easy haha! Had drones and some ion cannons, but

That end boss rebel flagship is wild! Barely did anything to it. Then my partner got home and was like "you know it has three phases?" And my head exploded hahaha
I love rogue-likes/lites and sci-fi, so this is right up my alley. The last time I had this much fun was Binding of Isaac (hands-down my favourite).
Same! It was BRUTAL! But I loved it!
And I mean, if you're not sitting there in your mind shouting "action stations! set condition one through the ship!" and "Fire Torpedoes, full flack field!" what are you even doing!?
