It’s quite challenging in the beginning and addictive. However I feel like the gameplay could use a bit more mechanics or things to do. I’d also like a way to end my turn early instead of firing every shot.

If you look at gameplay from previous years, you’ll see that the charging time for enemies and the speed for the aiming was very much slower. As soon as you get ambushed now, if the enemy is strong enough, you have very little hope of getting out of there alive. It’s not even a grind to get the coins you need anymore, it’s just frustration to the point of quitting. But, instead of quitting their hoping you’ll buy their coins with real money even though you already bought the game. Well, they lost my business for any of their future games seeing as the’ll corrupt old ones they had made.

Game Stew games are all pretty much amazing, this one starts out seemingly shallow and mysterious, but rapidly pens up and expands story and play tactics as you unlock more of the different ship, and scavenge for chips and upgrades. And the monsters attack your base unexpectedly, it’s challenging for sure but rewarding.

The learning curve felt hard, but once you get the hang of it it's surprisingly fun!Only downside is when I want to start over from scratch I have to uninstall and reinstall.
