Nope, this isn't it, feels even worse than the original one in the worse aspect, some fights you just cannot win with certain teams and you are FORCED to go through zones that have them, unlike the original.

Having half skills locked at the start makes it feel even slower and more forced, without mentioning you are just dead without certain skills with some characters.

Not to mention that unlocking them needs you to be lucky and get at least one shrine to get ONE skill, if you are lucky you may get 3 skills per run...but most of the time you get one if you even manage to get far.

The presentation is incredible, but I feel let down, I don't mean it's all bad, but it feels even more frustrating than the original and that is just too much.

Forgot to add, the stress mechanic is interesting, until my new character on the inn gives my leper half damage on his chop...for an entire level, killed a run because I picked a new hero, amazing.

This game is Amazing!
Pros:
-It is easy to play, but really hard to survive, making it an experience that is not complex but never boring.
-Has a lot of details, from were the blood stains appear to what equipment and even voices every faction has.
-Some pretty hard dialog lines, specially from the quasimorph bosses.
-Tangible progression, as long as you know what to pick up, you'll be able to upgrade your ship to make failings less punishing and comebacks more attainable.
-A lot of weapons and armor, both with sprites in game, and their own effects and types of shot!
-A decent selection of mission types, though most of them consist of exploring a map or defending a point, only changing the execution (like getting an item or destroying something).
-The soundtrack of the quasimorphs is one of the best I've ever listened to, it makes you feel powerful but also in danger, it is so hype, never got tired of it.

Neutrals (more of preferences, could be good for some, bad for others):
-The game is HARD. It will punish you quite a bit when you misstep, often being lethal. You also lose everything you had when you die. Don't worry, the game will give you a few resources when it happens, so the loss does not sting too hard.
-Trade is random, you exchange valuable things like ammunition, weapons, characters, classes and crafting blueprints, but they are randomized, adding that the crafting blueprints, classes and characters also by themselves could be a repeat (though still hold a lot of value for another exchange)
[Must add that I haven't tested the new trading version that much, I'll update this review once I do for a bit]
-Progression can be slow, considering that blueprints, classes, characters and even valuables are randomized during levels, nothing assures you that each mission will have any of those.
-Weapon and armor upgrading, this one is more good than bad for me, but if you try really hard on the ship upgrades, you may create armor that makes you almost indestructible (which again, feels quite good, but may make things a tad boring at times, though killing things one hit, specially melee is still fun.)

Cons:
-The story is not very clear and sometimes you need to listed to dialog, if not, you'll get stuck and won't be able to progress. I'd recommend adding a notes or objectives tab on the ship menu, besides crew and inventory, or just little window that you can minimize on one of the corners of the screen.

-The story also jumps quite a bit on difficulty, facing very strong opponents even when you barely have any equipment, have that in mind. [Could also be changed, will update once I finish the newer version.]
-The inventory on the ship can become hard to organize, it does have a sort and tab system, but the tabs are numbered so you have to remember or constantly change tabs to know where to put things, not to mention the loot always goes to the first one, you having to move all of them to their own tabs by yourself. (Though it is more of a nitpick, sorting really helps but it can only do so much when you have 1000 items on a single tab, which is on me for letting it go that far. )

In simple terms:
The good:
-Great music
-Nice interface that shows what you need to know.
-Many interesting concepts
-Many different ships with different play styles
-Achievements (if you are into that)
-Interesting story/details
-Lets you save often

The bad:
-The RNG is just too much.
-Starting zones define if you lose or not in a lot of cases.
-Feels slow, specially when you feel frustrated.
-You need to learn a LOT if you want to do good in the game (knowing events, zones and managing crew)
-You will encounter impossible fights that will make you reset.
-It will save even when you don't want to.

In more detail:
So many things in the game are good, but the gameplay loop is just hard to deal with.

Some runs are just lost from the very start, for many reasons, from map layout and events to enemy encounters, this is FAR more noticeable when you play a ship that is not the base/starter ship.
In other occasions, you will encounter fights you WILL lose and you have to run away. The problem: The enemy gets lucky and gets you engines or your pilot room in a very unfortunate time, not only that the delay that entails lets it hit your engines and your medic station, and suddenly fire is on the engines and a hole in your medic bay. By this point, if you don't have a full crew (which happens most of the time) you simply die.
This is made worse by the slow nature of the game, having to wait for systems and the engines to either fight or escape. Making each encounter lasting at least about 2 to 10 minutes. If you lost on the first sector(map) this does not feel like much, but it does when it happens 4 times in a row or when you reached sector 5, where an encounter like that feels like being cheated.

And people will say "it's because you are not good enough" and I will say: "Tell me that when you only got one single gun, the one you started with, against a ship with many shields or rockets. Or when the sun decides to be funny and turn your ship into a fireball."
It is terribly frustrating. It is interesting for the challenge, but chances are you will feel cheated and betrayed by RNG when you suddenly miss 5 shots in a row.

Now, I haven't tried the advanced mode of the game, I cannot say if it is better like that or not, but the game insists to play the original mode before getting into the advanced. But just the original is too frustrating to keep on with it.

If you have time and like suffering, you may like this.
If you don't have too much time, this will not work for you, even with the save system, because if you leave for more than a day or two, you'll be clueless and most likely lose. This will only make it more frustrating.

One of the most complete pixel art tools out there.
It has a lot of features, very comfy color palette options/features, GREAT animation tools (onion skin is truly helpful), great tagging system and ease of managing layers.
A lot of options for the canvas.
Has a preview window all the time, so you always have a bigger picture (or a more specific focus, if you want) of your work.
Has anti-aliasing mode for the pencil/brush.
The magic wand works really well.
And many other useful bits, you can see them in their website.

As far as I know, it only has one weakness: it does not have a good tool for tilesets, but you can still make them yourself.

I recommend this tool to everyone who wants to make pixel art and assets.
It easy to use, can export to many formats, including animations and it is overall nice and useful, very complete.

No me he terminado el juego, pero se le dio mucho amor a este proyecto.
Lo bueno:
-Existen muchas formas de hacer equipos y tacticas, por lo que puedes tener ideas local que tal vez puedan funcionar, sin mencionar que puedes tambien darles objetos que los hacen todavia mas poderozos.
-El juego parece tener una historia larga, con mucho contenido y una trama decentemente interesante.
-Hay relaciones entre unidades, son mas que nada dialogos que le dan sabor y personalidad a tus unidades, aunque no es lo mas expresivo y a veces el dialogo es ligeramente obvio, muchos de los dialogos dan informacion sobre el mundo y lo hacen mas cautivador.
-Tiene quicksave y quickload, puede que algunos no lo vean muy bien, pero es bastante util si sabes usarlo, no abuses de esta mecanica.
-Puedes desactivar el perder unidades permanentemente, si, puedes optar salir del permadeath, puede que los fan de Fire Emblem no esten muy deleitados con esto, pero aun puedes activarlo si lo deseas.
-Los sprites estan bien logrados

Lo malo:
-Puede que las cutscenes te recuerden a algo de RPG maker, eso puede confundir un poco.
-No sabes cuanto daño haces ni cuanto te haran a ti, por lo que dependes mucho de mirar la moral y los puntos de poder.
-A veces refuerzos llegan sin mucho aviso...o del todo, esto pasa mas cuando el juego asume que avanzaste mas alla en el mapa.

Actualizare esta critica cuando termine el juego y tenga una mejor perspectiva de este.

Español/English
Una gran historia con un trama muy interesante, cuenta con hermoso arte para los escenarios y los personajes, también una narradora estupenda (a muchos les desagradan los narradores, es difícil hacer uno que contribuya sin que fastidie al público, pero, en este caso funciona muy bien). Los personajes tienen mucha personalidad y hacen que la historia te importe. Se puede ver que se le dio mucho amor a esta pieza de arte. Cabe mencionar que no vi ni un solo error, una rareza en los juegos de hoy.

En general, una experiencia excelente, una que tal vez visitare más de una vez.

Edito: casi olvido la música, la musica es preciosa.
No le veo nada malo al juego. Supongo que si cambiaría algo, seria agregar mas animaciones y expresiones a los personajes que estan en el escenario, a veces las animaciones que ciclan en ciertos momentos son algo inapropiadas para la situación, pero es solo un detalle.

A great story with an interesting plot, wonderful artwork for both scenery and characters, with a lot of charm and a wonderful narrator (a lot of people often dislike narrators, it's hard to make a good one, but in this case it works). The characters have a lot of personality and make you care for the story. One can see that a lot of love was put into this work of art. I should mention that I did not see a single bug, a rare sight in games today.

Overall an excellent experience, one that I might just revisit more than once.

Edit: I almost forgot the music, it is precious.
I don't see anything wrong with game. I suppose if I could change something, it would be to add more animations and expressions to the characters in the scenery, sometimes the animation cycles in certain moments are unappropriated for the situation, but this is just a nitpick .

La mejor obra de Daniel Mullins hasta ahora.
Un juego muy intrigante que es mas de lo que aparenta, con una profundidad que uno podria decir que va mas alla de un progreso lineal y revela un potencial increible de juego.
Este juego de cartas es fantastico aun si no eres un fan de los juegos de "Deck building", debido a que te permite tener mas flexibilidad y hacer cosas aparentemente inconvenientes en cosas inimaginablemente fuertes aun de manera accidental, aunque por supuesto, este juego compensa el conocimiento, entender sus mecanicas y el saber explotarlas.

Este juego contiene:
-Mecanicas sencillas que no dejan de impresionar y romper expectativas, con gran variedad de posibilidades.
-Cada intento es aleatorio, por lo que casi siempre tendras un mazo distinto y lidiaras con mecanicas que pueden o no favorecerte que tambien cambiaran con cada intento.
-Muchas maneras de manejar tu mazo a traves de navegacion en el tablero.
-Misterio que cautivara a muchos.
-Ambientacion fantastica.
-Detalles, muchos detalles.
!-Si has jugado algo de Daniel Mullins, te estaras dando una idea de que puede suceder.
?-Si no has jugado nada de este creador, te debo advertir que hay mas que solo lo que hay en el video e imagenes de la tienda. No necesariamente malo, pero no te lo esperaras.

En resumen:
Si te gusta lo que ves y deseas jugarlo, no lo dudes, es una experiencia fantastica.
Si tienes dudas, te recomiendo que juegues otro juego de Daniel para entender como el creador hace sus juegos, NO mires gameplays ni tampoco videos de reviews (a menos de que esten libres de spoilers).

Para mi, solo con las primeras horas de juego, el precio vale la pena.
Es definitivamente de lo mejor que ha salido este año. Nada se le iguala.

A decently wonky experience, it's not bad, but it lacks a lot of technical details.
The gameplay itself it's just fine, hard at times, having some moments of challenge and maps with different layers.
I recommend playing it with friends, it makes the experience completely better.
So, if you want to play a shooter, that is not very serious and that's hilarious with friends, give it a go, It literally won't cost you anything.

Un juego de mesa bastante entretenido.
Como la mayoria de los juegos de mesa, es mejor con amigos, pero este aún se sustenta jugando con gente aleatoria.
Con estilo visual sencillo, pero bastante diferente y encantador.
Es asimétrico, lo cual lo hace mas interesante en cuanto que bando quieres tomar y aprender a jugar. Todos se juegan de una manera muy distinta.
En general, un buen juego que resalta por sus mecanicas y estilo de arte.

This game is really good, better with friends.
There are many different worlds with 3 generated levels each.
A great amount of classes and perks.
Complete chaos, mostly at the end of each world.
Hard when playing alone, a bit less hard in multiplayer (thanks to the ability to revive dead friends with money or half health )
Many ways to play.
A lot of options.

In a few words: Great game, better if you like to complete games, even better with someone else.
