Gameplay

The player gives commands to their crew to take them through a campaign of missions set in the solar system and beyond. New upgrades and equipment become unlocked, and crew members can gain new skills as the game progresses.[5] The Space Crew: Legendary Edition update adds new gameplay features, including missions where the player's crew leave the ship to explore outposts featuring enemies and puzzles.[4]

Reception

The game received mixed or average reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.[8][9][10] Rock Paper Shotgun praised the game's ability to make players feel like they have skillfully averted a major catastrophe while maintaining balanced gameplay, though they criticized an occasional lack of choice in some areas.[11] Although saying that the game is fun when played in bite-sized chunks, PCGamesN compared it negatively to Into the Breach, FTL: Faster Than Light, and Slay the Spire, which the reviewer felt were more fun in longer gameplay sessions.[7] Nintendo Life criticized the game's controls for the Switch and its difficulty, but they enjoyed the in-depth gameplay, art style, and character customization.[6]
