Anyone playing/played this?

I'm really digging the jokes, art and gameplay loop. Can totally recommend to anyone who likes roguelikes

What a ride! Definitely GOTY and one of the coolest games I've ever played. A truly unique genre mashup with awesome art and world building.

It gets better and better as you play more and develop different strategies for the various enemies and hazards. You get some really wacky and cool weapons and tools in the mid-late game also.

Funnily enough I found the enemy dialogue actually got better and funnier the more I played - some shit never got old. Love those tourists screaming "HELP ME" as they're about to explode :lol

its pretty rare that I wanna keep playing a game after I have all the achievements - they've added a bunch of challenges which I'm keen to tackle. Back to the void  :'(

It seems pretty fun, I DL'd on PC but thought it would be better on XBX. I am not great at it.  :doge

The difficulty of the game comes from all the moving pieces/randomisation etc. Once you learn the general strategies and playstyle options (ie. what ships to AVOID - dark ones, lots of hazards/enemies etc) thats how you get good. Definitely takes time to master
