Kinda different from other games I played before. But what really frustrating is, the game is not really about strategy, but it's about luck. Imagine getting full combat dice, like 5 attack dice, when there's absolutely nothing to attack! No matter how good your strategy is, one bad roll will ruin the entire game, making your 10+ minutes of time playing is totally wasted. Then, after dozens of retries, you finally get lucky, you win the game and get.... Nothing! Only Google Play Achievements....
Let me explain why this game is one of the greatest. It's based on an acclaimed 1 player board game, and no other game makes you feel like you're really commanding a starship against impossible odds the way it does. Yes, that does mean that sometimes it's unfair and the odds are stacked against you and you lose, but the choices you make when assigning crew are always strategic and interesting, and really give the sense of the kinds of sacrifices and compromises you'd have to make in real life.
Kind of fun for a bit, but it quickly becomes apparent that the game is about 5% strategy and 95% luck. You can be playing perfectly for 30 turns, and then one or two turns of unlucky rolls will spiral out of control into a situation you cannot ever recover from. Or just kill you outright. It would be much better if you had more control over the game. Like if you could save dice you don't use for a turn, or swap in dice with different side ratios.
