The game sports great vsuals, challenging enemies, and very good musical score. Things that hurt the game are lack of save/continue, worthless abilities (the dash will actually get you killed most times) and brain dead crew members. The character selection is nothing more than cosmetic. Having the characters with different stats or abilities would have added replay value. This would solve the other issue, in that your main character is very weak, gaining damage bonus only with ally crew members. Having the choice of a stronger character or faster character may have alleviated the frustration. Slow xp progression means a marathon play of the game to unlock most abilities. A story mode with xp progression and save/load feature would have been ideal, and perhaps a marathon mode that starts the player with a limited loadout (or even a choice of a few specific abilities) would better suited to appease both types of players, the 20 minute session or the 2-3 hour play through. All in all it is a game with a lot of good promise, and perhaps with a few updates could really be a solid title.
