Reception
The game received a score of 72/100 on reviews aggregation website Metacritic, indicating mixed reviews. A 3.6 out of 5 stars on the good old games store. And a "Mostly Positive" Rating on the Steam Store. Alec Meer, in his review at Rock, Paper, Shotgun described it as an "FTL on wheels", but found the game too unforgiving and with fewer options for the player to recover from disadvantaged positions. But did indicate that he was playing a pre release build of the game. And said "in fact it's already improved and tightened up across the couple of weeks I’ve been sporadically playing it for"
