I have had my fair share of survival space games from games as simple to rymdkspsel to this beefy beast of a survival space game. I have played this game so many times over and over again through deaths and close calls and through moments of glorious triumph as I got to the various endings over the two platforms I have played it on. I want to say a few things (actually a lot) to the people that are reviewing this game. There are people that say that, well, the game isn't balanced, the thing I love though is it isn't supposed to be! It is supposed to be challengingly fun and difficult. If you leave a one or two stars because of how difficult the game is, it is because you came here thinking that the great reviews and five stars meant an easy, fun, not at all challenging game YOU WERE HORRIBLY WRONG. This game is not easy or not challenging but is a whole lot of fun if you actually have a brain to learn to play it right. There is no such thing as the only way win is randomness and chance. Sure those are factors, but skill is involved too. Your ability to get yourself out of bad situations will be out to the test. How the player can manage space and resources can mean the difference between life and a horrible death by drifting through space. The game is not based solely on blind dumb luck. There isn't supposed to be a lot of anything. There is no resource that is abundant in this game. You have to work and survive for every little piece of fuel or iron. This game is not about thriving, it is about trying to survive in a hostile environment where nearly everything is trying to get you killed or stranded in one way or another. The randomness aspect of the game only makes it more real. This game is one of the closest games to mimicking the harshness of the vast darkness that is space. It is no easy game that can be conquered while doing absolutely nothing. If you are rating down this game because you don't like the randomness of it, then you are doing something wrong. This game is even more closer to real life because of the randomness. This game is meant to be random it adds to the challenging and difficult part of it. It forces you to prepare for every single possible scenario from being tossed into the middle of deep space, to bring chased by space sharks. The game makes you think, work, and sweat to make it to the end. If you don't want to do any of these things to get I the end of this game, then just don't buy it. This game is wonderful on its own with its randomness that brings it closer to reality, the scenarios that forces you to prepare and think on your toes, and the endings that to you may not seem like endings but just pave the path to bigger stories and plots. One thing that I want to tell the developer directly: Don't make this game any less difficult. Sure, you can add different modes that take out the randomness of a real space, but always keep the difficult, hard, brutal to conquer yet fun and strategic game that you have made so far. The game's randomness and chance yet it's ability to include the player's skill into the equation too makes this game unique and special in the genre of space games. It is the most real simulator of space I have come by so far, and I wish for this game to grow in some way to become better and more realistic. This game was meant to challenge and strain your mind and see how well you can adapt to a situation it throws you in. *Tell the truth, if this game was easy and you could get through it quickly and you play it, admit it, you would only play it once or twice, I know I would. The randomness of this game mean you could play it a billion different times, and each time would be completely different from the last one or the next one. No matter how beautiful or amazing or wonderful any game is, without replayability, the game is trash that you would play a few times and forget about. This game I could play thousands of times and not get bored of it because every single time I would have a different run, with a different ship, different equipment, and most of all, a different mindset. Saves would ruin the point of anything that I have said above. The developer(s) have done a good job in making this game as realistic as possible and save games which you could load up whenever you in some deep crap would completely ruin the game. This game is supposed to be as frustrating and teeth grinding and that-feeling-that-you-could-punch-a-wall-ing, as much as possible. It isn't supposed to be fair, easy, or balanced. If you have a problem in real life, do you always have the materials or the brains needed to conquer that problem? Sometimes you have to work to find the materials you need. Every single time you die in this game, you remember that mistake you made and keep that mistake in your mind so it won't happen again.* I would like to thank the developer(s) that spent their time making this game as real and random as possible and risking more low reviews.
