Then, I got spotted by one of the Juve enemies and he called me a knobhead in a Liverpudlian accent. I was hiding around a corner and I swear I heard one of them say ‘Barbra, where’s my pen?’ – it was hilarious. The voice acting is spot on too with all the enemies having seeming normal British accents, chatting between themselves. Cut scenes are displayed in comic panels and the actual gameplay is wonderfully animated. Taking inspiration from 2000 AD comics, everything looks bloody beautiful. Correct decision making will be rewarded. It’s all part of the strategy and it never feels unfair. Some will be rich in fuel and provide a large cache for the taking but, may be populated with some nasty enemies. Flying between ships costs fuel and food so as you are making choices on where to go, you need to keep in mind what these ships will offer.

As backward travel is not permitted, once you’ve made your choice of how to move forward, that’s it. The resources needed are clearly marked on the galaxy map so it up to you to make the correct moves to get to them. The main things you should be aiming to build though are the action items so you can escape the nebula altogether. Oxygen tanks, for instance, can be upgraded so you can spend more time on derelict ships before having to scarper to the exit. One such weapon is called the Clusterflak, which shoots a grenade that explodes into loads of smaller grenades, making for some heavy carnage.Īll these are made on your ships trusty workbench where you utilise parts you find to make weapons, armour and other items to aid you. Then there’s the Kittybot, which runs around distracting enemies while you make your escape. The Spiker, for instance, shoots poison needles at your opponent which damages them over time.
You start of with a simple pistol but as you progress through, loot you find can be built into many wonderful contraptions. It’s all about being savvy and managing your resources correctly, including ammo for your guns, making avoiding enemies a sound tactic.Īlthough shooting bad guys can be entertaining considering the bevy of guns available.
It serves as a nice reminder that you don’t actually need to engage every enemy. The game even tells you this at the start. The difficulty of said enemies increases as you get deeper into the nebula (of which there are five depths) but the one constant remains, the Screws are always hard and should be avoided. Ships that you explore all have set layouts but the enemies inside are randomised as is the loot. It’s probably the only real roguelike element to this game aside from the nebula itself. My first prisoner ditched that smoker trait as soon as possible and gained the ability to automatically open locked doors on approach, which made the eventual loss of my prisoner feel like a terrible loss. These traits can be messed with however which is nice, through the use of gene altering machines on certain ships. The first prisoner I took control of, for instance, had the ‘smoker’ trait, meaning every now and then, I would let out a loud cough which can alert nearby enemies to your location. Each prisoner is randomly generated with traits that can either help or hinder your progress through the various ships. just wakes up another to take their place. When a prisoner is brutally murdered, the A.I. It was a parody intended by Blue Manchu of that feeling you get when you are trying to do your taxes between two departments and your address isn’t correct, so they keep bouncing you back and forth with more caveats every time.Īs mentioned previously, dying isn’t the end of your run. Of course, the task isn’t as easy and before you know it, you are having to jump through various hoops in order to actually get the damn thing working.
