Trigon: Space Story Reviews

TLDR: I cannot recommend the game unless the game balance is addressed. I'd say, the game is 80% luck, 20% skill. To some extent FTL had an RNG element as well but it was far far lower than this game. Positives: - The games looks good. It has nice visuals and aesthetics. - It keeps most of the concepts similar to FTL so it's easy to get around the game provided you played the base game. - It has decent amount of weapons and upgrades. - A lot of ships and races which makes the replay-ability high. Negatives: - The biggest problem is the balance. I had runs on hard difficulty where I just steamrolled. Other runs on normal difficulty where I simply couldn't pass the first sector. An enemy ship with shields 100 on first sector is simply bonkers. Unless you have powerful weaponry (which is largely RNG whether you get something on first sector or not), you cannot make a dent in the enemy ship. - I dislike the whole food mechanics. Generally I simply buy all food from stations and I can get by but it doesn't add much value to the game. It's just an additional lose condition that is just not necessary. The food production (oxygen upgrade) is just to low which makes a lot of build / classes pretty much unplayable.

To many random rewards or handicaps that rolled out in events. Your own skills doesn't really matter... its just frustration trial and error game mechanics.
