I wanted to like this game, I seemed fun according to promo videos.
However, I have two thigs to mention:
1. I have 700+ items in my Steam library.
2. This is the FIRST game I ever refunded...
Cannot recommend this game. Sorry.

Dumb game... I really tried to like this game. Played it for 4 hours (2 games). All you do is fly around until you run out of fuel. You spend more resources doing things than you can possibly hope to gather....

Im Weltall macht es noch Spaß,
Die Steuerung bei den Planetenmissionen ist so schlecht.
Man flippert nur rum, verbraucht unmengen an Treibstoff.
Letztlich nur ständig ein nerviges Minigame nach dem anderen.

The Long Journey Home, developed by Daedalic Studio West and published by Daedalic Entertainment, is a science-fiction exploration RPG built around isolation, survival, and the unpredictability of deep space. The premise is immediately compelling: humanity attempts an experimental hyperspace jump, only for the mission to catastrophically misfire and strand a small crew on the far side of the galaxy. With Earth unimaginably distant and resources limited, the only objective is simple in theory but daunting in practice—find a way home. From that moment forward, the game becomes a blend of procedural exploration, survival management, diplomacy, and trial-and-error learning.

The universe itself is procedurally generated, ensuring that each journey feels distinct. Star systems, planets, anomalies, and alien civilizations are arranged differently in every playthrough. This randomness strengthens the sense of being lost in a vast and unknowable cosmos. Exploration is central to the experience, and venturing into new systems often brings both opportunity and danger. Some planets contain valuable resources, abandoned technology, or mysterious signals, while others conceal environmental hazards or hostile encounters. The thrill of discovery is balanced by the constant tension of limited fuel and the risk of damage.

Gameplay operates on two main layers: strategic navigation at the galactic scale and hands-on piloting during planetary landings. On the strategic layer, players must chart courses between stars while carefully managing fuel reserves and ship integrity. Miscalculations can leave the ship stranded in deep space, forcing desperate measures to survive. On planetary surfaces, gravity and thrust mechanics come into play in a manner reminiscent of classic lunar lander challenges. Players must carefully balance descent speed and angle to avoid damaging their lander while gathering essential materials. These landings are both mechanically demanding and thematically appropriate, reinforcing the fragility of the crew’s situation.

One of the game’s most distinctive features is its alien diplomacy system. Throughout the journey, players encounter numerous alien species, each with unique cultures, values, and communication styles. Dialogue choices shape relationships and can lead to alliances, trade opportunities, quests, or outright hostility. The lack of clear guidance during these encounters adds authenticity but also difficulty; misunderstandings can easily escalate. Some species reward respectful negotiation, while others value strength or deception. Learning these nuances becomes part of the player’s evolving understanding of the galaxy.

Resource management underpins nearly every decision. Fuel, hull integrity, crew health, and supplies must be carefully balanced. Mining planets, salvaging wreckage, and trading with aliens are essential survival tactics. Failure is always a possibility, and the game embraces a roguelike structure where mistakes can end a run entirely. Each failed attempt teaches lessons that inform future journeys. This structure reinforces the narrative theme of perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds.

Despite its strong conceptual foundation, the game’s mechanics can feel unforgiving. The learning curve is steep, and the lack of explicit tutorials may frustrate players unfamiliar with its systems. Planetary landings, in particular, require precision and patience, and repeated failures can feel punishing. Similarly, resource scarcity can create situations where a run feels doomed long before its conclusion. For some players, this tension enhances immersion. For others, it may feel excessively punishing.

Visually, The Long Journey Home adopts a stylized but functional aesthetic. Space is presented with vibrant nebulae, distant stars, and distinct planetary surfaces. Alien species are creatively designed, and their visual identities reflect their cultural personalities. The soundtrack and ambient audio enhance the sense of isolation, alternating between serene cosmic tones and tense moments of crisis. While not graphically cutting-edge, the presentation effectively supports the game’s atmosphere.

What ultimately defines The Long Journey Home is its ambition. It attempts to capture the feeling of being a small, vulnerable presence in a massive universe. The emergent storytelling that arises from alien interactions, resource struggles, and unexpected discoveries can create memorable personal narratives. However, its mechanical friction means that enjoyment often depends on a player’s tolerance for difficulty and experimentation.

In the end, The Long Journey Home is a bold and conceptually rich space odyssey that prioritizes exploration and consequence over accessibility. Its procedural galaxy, layered diplomacy system, and survival mechanics combine to create a distinctive sci-fi experience. While its challenging systems and occasional opacity may deter some players, those willing to embrace its complexity will find a journey defined by discovery, hardship, and the constant hope of returning home.

I really wanted to like this game. The concept is fantastic. Exploration, trading, managing resources - sounds great. But it's sooooo frustrating! You fly around multiple systems and 90% of the time attempting to land on the surface costs more in damage than you can gather so you just skip. Nothing cures the infestation so once you catch it (and you will) you're screwd. Ruins are so rare that you can discover maybe one or two item in a few hours of gameplay. You have no idea how much items are worth. So far the game for me has been flying around, NOT landing on planets and dying of fungi.

Ok, I tried to perservere but it's even worse. Almost made it to Earth but the last cluster was only made of black holes and pulsars, with almost no green resources, making it impossible to finish the game. Hours wasted because of randomness of procedurally generated galaxy. Even Kai Rosenkranz's music couldn't salvage this game for me. I want my money back.

Rozumím proč u té hry je tolik negativních recenzí.

Hra není špatná, jen je extrémně dlouhá a tím i repetitivní. A taky vlastně neví zda to chce být strategie, rogue nebo cokoliv jiného...

Abych to nějak popsal....
Cíl je extrémně daleko. Ať se dostanete kamkoliv v jednom kole, neplyne pro vás z toho žádný bonus jakmile umřete a zkusíte to znovu. Do toho máte prakticky nulový příběh. A jen jeden cíl, dostat se domů.

A suma sumárum máte hru, která dokáže zabavit na 8h, když se spokojíte že do konce se pravděpodobně nikdy nedostanete.

Dohromady jsem zkusil ve hře 3 průchody. První průchod netrval moc dlouho, učil jsem se, prakticky jsem neopustil galaxii.
Druhý běh byl lepší, nicméně hra byla tak špatně vygenerována že jsem prakticky narážel jen na planety zanesené parazitickým druhem který mě následně dostal kvůli nákaze...
Třetí průchod jsem nedokončil, strávil jsem v něm bez mála 3 hodiny s tím že jsem se nedostal ani do čtvrtiny cesty potřebné na návrat domů.
A celý gameplay se skládal:
Mám dost surovin?
Ano?
Skákám hned dál, nemám v plánu cokoliv zkoumat v soustavě, protože zisk je malý, ztráta velká.

Nemám dost surovin?
Co mi chybí?
Palivo na skok?
Pak se opakuje smyčka- palivo na skok-> Suroviny na opravu přistávacího modulu -> Suroviny na palivo pro pohyb po soustavě -> Suroviny na opravu přistávacího modulu/lodi poškozeného při získávání paliva.

Nedokážu si představit být v tomto pekle 12h abych se dostal do cíle. Nemluvě o tom že s lodí nic neuděláte, s modulem nic neuděláte a postavy v raketoplánu mají takové nervy z ocele, že je nerozhodí nic.

Ufff... Empiezo, porque es un juego sin escala de grises; o te encanta o lo odias.

En primer lugar, es bastante adictivo, muy rico en su mitología y su mundo. Se le puede echar infinitas horas y seguirías descubriendo muchas historias, objetos, personajes, misiones, lugares, etc.
El sistema de navegación y pilotaje de las naves también está muy conseguido y es muy entretenido. Por ello es el voto positivo.
Sin embargo, han cometido un error tanto en el balance de la dificultad como en querer hacer pasar que el "modo aventura" como el "normal", siendo este muy complicado para jugadores nuevos. Todo se avería inmediatamente, los personajes no paran de tener dolencias, pierdes enseguida nada más empezar y no parece que haya solución a la dificultad que tiene. Al final, la única manera que encuentras de medio avanzar es haciendo un tedioso back-up de las carpetas de guardado. Eso o estar dispuesto a tardar cien horas en terminar una partida.
Es un juego cuyo avance está pensado como en un juego de mesa, en que si pierdes debes volver atrás, por lo que morir no consiste en un Game Over, pero pienso que cuando empiezas no queda nada claro esta dinámica.

También parece que le faltó tiempo para pulir algunos detalles, como más información acerca de los objetos, de los lugares y se echa en falta más interacción entre la tripulación.

The Long Journey Home is one of those games that shouldn’t work but absolutely does. On the surface it’s nothing special—mixed reviews, barely any traditional “gameplay.” I mostly play it on Switch and it’s honestly kind of janky.

But it's one of my favorite games of all time. The writing feels genuine, and the whole loop of being stranded light-years from Earth and having to make perfect choices just to limp your way home is so tense and believable. Every landing, every gravity-assist, every resource gamble matters. One bad decision and the whole mission is done.

It's rough around the edges, but there's something invaluable at its core.

The whole thing runs on three minigames that feel like they were ripped straight out of a “Learn JavaScript in 24 Hours” book:

1. Wiggle your ship through fake gravity to reach a planet.
2. Do the exact same thing again, but now you’re landing.
3. Generic pew-pew space shooter.

Seriously, search “JavaScript spaceship gravity tutorial” or “Moon Lander clone” and you’ll find the source code for 90% of this game. That kind of bare-bones stuff can work if you’ve got something addictive on top (think Vampire Survivors or the old phone game Flappy Bird), some killer progression, a banger soundtrack, anything to make people want to keep playing the same three loops for hours.
This game has none of that. Zero hook, zero payoff. You just repeat the same baby-level minigames until you get bored and quit. And you will quit, fast.

Histoire :
Tout commence bien : la Terre fête son premier saut interstellaire. Champagne, applaudissements, photo de groupe…
Mais évidemment, rien ne se passe comme prévu : votre équipage se retrouve propulsé à l’autre bout de la galaxie, sans manuel, sans support technique, et avec une seule mission — rentrer à la maison.
➡️ Ce n’est pas une histoire linéaire, mais une épopée procédurale, remplie de rencontres extraterrestres étranges, de dilemmes moraux et de choix à la “faut-il trahir ces aliens pour survivre, ou mourir dignement en manque d’oxygène ?”
Chaque partie écrit son propre roman spatial, souvent tragique, parfois absurde… toujours mémorable.

Gameplay :
Exploration spatiale : naviguez entre systèmes, gérez le carburant, réparez vos modules et gardez vos membres d’équipage en vie (ou du moins, pas trop morts).
Atterrissages planétaires : mini-jeux d’adresse à la Lunar Lander, souvent stressants, surtout quand votre vaisseau rebondit comme une savonnette sur un sol alien.
Diplomatie intergalactique : chaque espèce a sa culture, son humour (parfois très douteux), et sa manière de vous punir si vous les insultez sans le vouloir.
Ressources et survie : tout se gère — oxygène, carburant, intégrité du vaisseau, santé de l’équipage.
➡️ C’est exigeant, parfois cruel, mais passionnant. Une mauvaise manœuvre ou une phrase mal placée, et tout part en orbite.

Graphismes :
Style sobre mais élégant, avec de superbes planètes et effets de lumière spatiale.
Les vaisseaux et les interfaces donnent vraiment l’impression d’être aux commandes d’une mission scientifique perdue dans le cosmos.
Quelques menus un peu austères, mais tout respire l’ambiance SF à l’ancienne.

Difficulté :
Oui, c’est dur. Le jeu ne pardonne pas, mais c’est aussi ce qui le rend grisant.
Les premières parties se finissent souvent dans un cri lointain et un silence radio définitif.
Mais chaque échec vous apprend quelque chose : comment mieux négocier, mieux atterrir… ou mieux mourir.

Durée de vie (100 % succès Steam) :
Comptez 40 à 60 heures pour tout débloquer — entre les différentes races, les fins possibles, les découvertes aléatoires et les runs qui finissent dans le vide spatial.
Chaque succès demande une maîtrise totale du gameplay, des décisions réfléchies et parfois une chance insolente.
➡️ Autant dire que pour le 100 %, il faut aimer les voyages… et la douleur.

Prix (en solde) :
Souvent autour de 5 à 10 €. À ce prix, c’est une véritable expédition spatiale procédurale — exigeante, mais inoubliable.

Conclusion :
The Long Journey Home est une expérience spatiale unique : une odyssée de survie, d’improvisation et de désespoir cosmique.
C’est dur, parfois cruel, mais incroyablement gratifiant quand, après des heures de galère, vous voyez enfin la Terre apparaître à l’horizon.

🪐💫 Un jeu qui vous apprend une grande vérité : dans l’espace, personne ne vous entend hurler quand votre vaisseau explose à cause d’un rocher invisible.

I really wanted to like this game, but it's like the developers don't want me to enjoy it. the arbitrary planetfall of the lander killed any enjoyment I would have had with this game. You don't have control over the lander until it's already shooting like a bullet to the surface, clearing any objective you're trying to get to, to the point I believe it was made that way specifically to destroy the lander. When it feels like the game is rigged for you to fail, why care?

游戏里要谨慎使用惯性，因为惯性没有及时反馈、容易差之毫厘谬以千里。登陆舱下到星球里时，不仅像是很容易坠毁的 flappy bird，还会被风吹得很难到达目标点，而玩家对游戏的预期是获取资源然后增强自己，而不是很难控制然后因为非玩家自己能力的因素磕磕碰碰，失去一大堆数值。

所以这游戏的玩法本身就有问题，反玩家预期。如果流程不长就罢了，但流程被拉得很长，探索内容掰得碎碎的散落在很长的旅程里。我可以忍受反预期的玩法3小时，但这游戏估计没个 15 小时没法走完很长的旅途，中间基本就是过各种碎片交流式的探索。所以还是不推荐，难度过高，又充满数值失去，缺乏积累感。

战斗可用的武器很单一，打一两次就基本没有什么新鲜感了。可降落的星球种类是有好几种，不过基本前 3 小时就都逛过了。数值基本是一直在失去，没有积累的余地，玩起来不是很爽。

The concept has some potential. I like this idea of a lost ship finding its way home.
But the problem is the tedious resource excavation on each planet. It has a mechanism that is too simple and has too few feedback.

The characters and their interactions are relatable, amusing, and compelling, and the spirit evoked of exploration and discovery in a universe of endless forms most beautiful is wonderful.

The problem is all of the actual gameplay.

The space navigation system is physically inaccurate: at the speeds being traveled, gravitational effects would be almost negligible, as you can see by moving along a planet's orbit in-game orders of magnitude faster than the planet. This matters because it forces you to try to make good use of orbital mechanics to conserve fuel, which is impossible to do effectively because not enough information is provided about your projected trajectory. This would be mostly fixed by having the larger-scale minimap show your projected path, but it doesn't. And because there's not enough info provided for quantitative analysis, this makes it impossible to execute things like Hohmann transfer correctly and forces you to waste fuel on violent course corrections when approaching objectives. (As a purely visual note, while you are turning, a control thruster is shown continuously firing while the turn is going on; thrusters should fire only to start and end the rotation.)

It is impossible to get useful information about the alien races without a lot of wading through the online wiki because every alien ship/station has an arbitrary limit to the number of topics you can ask about, even in contexts where this clearly does not make sense (Glukkt trying to gain new customers). Likewise, the system for selling goods requires you to make wild guesses about what to sell things for, and end up either receiving far too little for one's goods, or being locked out of trade with a particular station entirely, because there is also an arbitrary limit to how many offers you can have be refused. The alternative is looking everything up in the tables on the wiki to determine exactly what Species X will pay for Item Y, which takes all the fun (if you can call it that) out of the negotiation system.

Items for treating medical conditions are one-use-only, are used on a single character, and correct all of the character's applicable medical conditions. This is profoundly annoying because you don't want to waste the items on a character with one condition who might get more of the same types later, but the character then is constantly complaining about the condition, so it doesn't work as an abstraction. Likewise, repairs to categories of spacecraft and lander systems cost the same regardless of the number of defects, encouraging this ridiculous game of chicken against the defects. There are too many random malfunctions and they are too expensive to fix.

The planetary hazards are too dangerous and random, and because of this, force players to waste a lot of time repeatedly restarting planetary operations.

Ruins and organisms on planets are in illogical places, and backgrounds are not properly tied to the planetary conditions described. The threshold of contact speed for damage to lander and injuries to pilot is too low; the LEM of the 1960s had more effective shock absorbers.

In space combat, for some reason, if you collide with the enemy ship (of any type), you take damage but they don't. Also, in some cases, a very bright sun is right in the middle of the background for space combat right where your ship is, making it impossible to see inbounds and how you are maneuvering. There's no real subsystem damage except for you: everything runs on health bars and Critical Existence Failure.

I have other complaints, but this review is too long already.

Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't take this game for free. It's incredibly frustrating, and not for good reasons.

1. Pseudo gravity navigation through solar system to land on planet.
2. Pseudo gravity navigation on planet landing
3. Simple space shooter
All those are literally beginner level gamedev tutorials (for example google "JS Spaceship with gravity" or "Moon Lander Game in JavaScript")
For a game simplistic foundation is not bad by itself, but you need really strong hook for players to endure
playing same 3 primitive minigames for hours.
Sadly there are none.

- keybindings for keyboard fixed, only 2 presets to choose
- missing ingame description of crew skills.
- waste a lot of fuel or fly for ages in star systems (which is awfully boring). =Main point for neg review.
- max ship speed is limited to 6AU/h, which is very very slow compared to the real speed limit in space (the speed of light)!
- wtf, drag in free space? In reality there is no drag outside of atmosphere!
- Orbital calculation not correct, impossible to set a stable orbital around a star! After >500 hours in Kerbal Space program and reading Buzz Aldrin's orbital mechanics this was the first thing i noticed playing this game.

Интересная идея, но убогое управление кораблём ставит крест на заинтересованности играть в неё дальше.
Уже на первой планете когда расхерачил челнок, я понял, что медиативным моё путешествие не получится, на втором космическом объекте потерял первого члена экипажа. Теперь о главном, космосимы после долгого забвения наконец получили второй шанс, но вышло так, что разработчики забыли как правильно их делать, они постоянно бросаются из крайности в крайность.
На The Long Journey Home были определённые надежды, всё таки Daedalic делает успехи в другом непопулярном жанре, но получилось наполовину, игру явно портят завышенная сложность и нелепый летальный рандом.
Дже жалко, что многие игроки отворачиваются, так как просто тупо не проходят туториал. Вообщем, замечательный пример, как глупо что то излишне усложнять.

Game is definitely weird and a little janky but it goes on sale regularly and has some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing quests/interactions/discoveries. I've never had issues with the lander or ship piloting that didn't feel intentional (don't try to mine on dangerous planets unless you have no other options lol, seems obvious), use the easiest difficulty until you understand the game enough that you want an even harsher experience etcetc and be chill with most of your runs ending in defeat cuz you'll learn more with every run and be more prepared for the next one. Like, personally it was obvious to not trust the mizzurani, but if you do make that mistake and live with the consequences and your run ends for that or other reasons then u don't have to throw a fit in the game's reviews lol, just learn ur lesson and try again (also if any of the specific major alien species are pissing you off only a subset of them are in each seed so u can just find a seed that doesn't have the ones you dislike and run that).

If you've played dwarf fortress and can vibe with "losing is fun" you should enjoy this also, if you can't wrap your head around that the game still regularly goes on sale cheap enough that you'll get your money's worth with some of the early quests and interactions even if you never stick around for a full run (I haven't made a successful run yet cuz I haven't sat down and given a consistent effort but I've had bits of the end-game quests and beats spoiled for me and they sound even more wild than some of the buckwild ♥♥♥♥ I've pulled off in the game already having only gotten to the halfway point of the full journey a couple times.
Reviewed at 35 ish hours and still feels like I've barely scratched the surface while having had a very complete and satisfying experience, looking forward to getting back around to this one once I've gotten through some other stuff in my backlog.

Boring, very boring and repetitive. Does not feel rewarding playing it.

The only good thing I enjoyed about this game is the design of stellar gravity, and the need to utilize the gravity in order to control your ship.
Plus the background music is ok, it is quite soothing.

But other than the points above, this game falls into boredom quite quick.

If you are interested in the flight control of this game, I would recommend another game [b]High Fleet[/b].
That game has similar control during ship combat. And it has a much more interesting story ploy and gameplay overall.

劝退点非常明显：上手难度极高，资源极度匮乏，机翻堪难入目。但仅限于此，而且其中能称得上是缺点的也就机翻问题，前两点我还挺喜欢的，属于是不得不品的游戏特色。

反对手感屎的评价，键鼠操作难度确实高但称不上屎，触感反馈做的都很好，难度高是因为飞船和登陆艇的性能限制。这种性能限制恰恰还原了太空中开飞船的手感，星体引力和对流强度的设计决定了胡乱开船只会浪费燃料甚至撞上星体，但操作得当就能利用恒星的引力弹弓轻松长距离滑行。游戏性没大问题，尤其对热爱太空tag的玩家来说。画面称得上不错但不算精美。音乐很好。

吸引我玩下去的是细节设计。细节与各种暗线做的很好，超低的容错率又导致即使能磕磕绊绊通关，能腾出资源和时间来探索的支线也十分有限，加上轻微rouge元素，对我这种喜欢不看攻略闷头玩的玩家简直是成瘾品。

联系工作室询问了能否帮助改良机翻，很遗憾答复称游戏已停止更新，更换翻译成本过高。

Gave this game a chance at $1. Really want to like this game. I can see some grind but the lander is just horrible to pilot. You do not need the atmosphere to kill you, you can easily kill yourself just trying to pilot the lander through the atmosphere. The Dev need to turn down the planet's environment effects like 15-20% and make the lander 2-3x tougher. Also there is not much resources to get. Getting gas is pretty hard since you have to pick it up mid-flght using the lander is this horrible unstable. The lander really ruins this game. Plus the different bars in the Resources tab is a bit hard to maintain. Maybe it is because of lack of resource... It is a whole planet or moon or asteroid field, there should abundant resources to collect. The rest seems ok. I have not try fighting an alien yet but so far. This game is not for casual gamer. It is for people who love to grind and have tons of time to play. This really limits the game to a select fewer people who can enjoy it.

This game reminds me a bit of Starflight from the 80s and that game was enjoyable because you can enjoy collecting resources on the planet. This game is like... if I only land safely, that would be a win... forget about enjoying the collecting resources.

注意注意，如果你正在使用Intel Arc GPU，请你先更新到最新驱动程序，玩玩学习版确定能正常游戏了，再买。目前驱动程序版本，进入游戏的大前期是正常的，但是到某些星系会导致游戏崩溃，例如黑洞星系。经过与开发商沟通，我了解到可能是程序为了实现某种特定效果，面向红绿两家使用了特殊的编程技巧，蓝家直接使用这种编程就崩了。开发商不修，只能等英特尔修。
以下是邮件选段：
Thank you for the zip file. We launched the game with the folder from the zip file and we were able to continue without any issues. The PC we used has an Nvidia GPU though, while your PC has an Intel Arc GPU, a GPU brand that was introduced in 2022, 5 years after the release of the game in 2017. And since according to the log the crash happens in the Rendering code when the game tries to prepare something on the GPU (which also seems to not be properly recognized by the game), it is very likely that the crash is caused by the game trying to use a GPU feature in a way that works fine on AMD Radeon and Nvidia GeForce GPUs but unfortunately not on your Intel Arc GPU.

Since the game is already more than 7 years old, there is no developer team for the game anymore, which makes it very unlikely that the game will be updated to fix this issue. So to continue playing the game, you can either try to avoid situations which crash the game (in this case a black hole) or use an AMD Radeon or Nvidia GeForce GPU.

In general older games not working properly or even crashing on a GPU brand that didn't exist yet, when the game was released, is an issue that affects different games by different developers and is probably caused by different GPU brands handling some GPU features in a different way.

99% of this game is great, in fact this should have overwhelmingly positive rating on steam but that 1% is the most annoying stupid ♥♥♥♥ i saw developers do, and this 1% is in your face most of the game time.

Instead of pointless RNG just make it so all systems degrade gradually at predictable pace, add a proper save system, i want to save whenever i want and load whenver i want and if i feel hardcore then i'd pick a mode that implies restricted save scumming.

In short its a great game in terms of art, content exploration but 90% of your time is wasted in pointless RNG, savescumming to discover how things work, pointless mechanics that supposed to simulate difficulty (instead of that make it more battles, easy to hard progressively, something actually fun)...

Unless devs fix very few primitive issues this game has i wouldnt recommend it...
1. fix the saves
2. remove random breakages with gradual degradation, get rid of the wind or tone it down...
3. make aliens more hostile, more battles is better than battling stupid wind on a planet with 0 gravity...

[b][h2] A Rougelike gone wrong. [/h2] [/b]

I love rougelikes and similar games. I love space exploration. I love FTL: Faster Than Light

The core princible is the same as in the famous roguelike FTL. You choose a starter ship/crew. And you have to travel trough multiple sun systems to get to the end of the cluster. From there you can take a jump to the next cluster in the hope of getting home. You will need lots´ of fuel to get there.

But there a few major hicups:
[b]1. Gameplay doesn´t make fun[/b]
- To get to a planet you have to your important fuel to get there. But it´s possible to use gravitation of planets for your flight and use the fuel only sparingly. But in this case you have to wait a minute to get there. This is realistic, but it doesn make fun. It´s a slog.
- Landing on one hand is boring (its always the same landing mini game), on the other hand it can get crazy difficult, because 75% of the planets have high hazards in my current run. And you only know of the hazards once you did scan the planet.
- The third kind of major gamplay aside from landing and space flight: Sneaking through asteroid fields or fighting space ships. Asteroid fields yield loot, but are extremly boring, tedious and repetetive. You can´t even shoot down asteroids. You have to sneak around them with crawl-speed, because your ship turns like trash.
- And the fights? There wasn´t much fights in my runs. They seem like an afterthought in this game. By no means the fights a reason the by this game. They are OK at most.

[b]2. Punishing players instead of rewarding players[/b]
- Every second you use your engines or other equipment it takes damage and one component fails only after the next.
- You can repair components (with a item), but you can´t choose which component you are repairing.
-> Instead of punshing only for crashing, risky dialoge options or beeing shot, the game punishes you simply for playing the game ALL THE TIME.

[b]3. To much time waste:[/b]
- This game has MUCH more dialogue options than FTL or Slay the Spire. But 75% of the dialogue options simply do nothing. The NPCs tell you all the time they don´t care about your dialogue option.
- In comparison to other rogue likes this game is SLOOOOOW. I can complete FTL, Hades or Slay the Spire in less than 2 hours. In this game you can need 1 hour per cluster, depending how many planets and quests you visit. And you there are many clusters. This would be

To summarize this game:

Tedious time waste roguelike. This game aims to be a more realistic, much more boring FTL.

教程都不好好做有谁玩你的游戏？入轨投放登陆艇后就卡关了，不知道是缺少按键提示还是出了BUG。

另外这教程还有一个问题，那就是登陆艇炸了后系统自己都会说要你重启教程，妈的教程哪有这么设计的，玩家应该从哪跌倒从哪爬起来，而不是重头再来。

另外这主流程咋设计的，都故事模式了还这么难，我登陆艇实在是没矿石修了，各项都显示故障还没写，然后冒死采矿采者采者就自爆了。而我的船员自从得了虫群感染症状在天天加重，这感染还扩散给其他船员。好不容易撑到星门却发现商人屁东西都没有，妈的你要玩死老子直接说。你让我感觉他们回地球九九八十一难，我就让你感觉做游戏九九八十一难，一份差评拿好不送。
