    The game is really interesting for something of this size, but I do have to say that RNG will be a rather important factor of the game. You can attempt to mitigate it all you want, but RNG will still be soemthing that can frustrate you. It's not so bad, and the different ways the game piece things together make every run unique enough.

    I really wanted to like this as I appreciate seeing a nice little game, but after playing longer the RNG has really pushed me away. There's a very heavy reliance on RNG and not a lot of ways to control, you have to buy a lot of upgrades to really get info about where you're going, and earning any of the survivability/crew upgrades are exclusively chance based, and frequently earned by deliberately pushing yourself…
