Oh boy... This game wishes it was what FTL actually is. Enjoyable and fun.

It's fun maybe for the first couple of runs, but once you figure out that it is completely up to RNG whether or not you're screwed, it wears off fast. At least with FTL I can LEARN from my mistakes, and account for and use new strategies on future runs, which leaves a feeling of reward. There is no sense of reward or learning from losing here with this game, which in my opinion, is part of the fundamental foundation for a roguelike game.

The core mechanics are there, but outside of the co-op aspect, everything is completely worse than what this game is trying to imitate. I could go into depth about all the problems I have with the mechanics, but it's really not worth my time after countless failed runs due to just ♥♥♥♥ RNG/Balancing combined with ♥♥♥♥ mechanics. That's also not even including the bugs, which there's still a lot of and some of them are considerably game breaking. They will probably go unaddressed as this game is seemingly no longer supported or updated.

Stay away at full price, maybe picking it up on a heavy discount or from a bundle.
