you monster you made me kill the fight the slums cadet (insert biblethump). Excellent game, can't say if it's exactly cobalt core cause I haven't played cobalt core, but it's great nonetheless. I cleared every fight with only 1 or 2 parts left on my ship and then I perfected the final boss, so either at that point I decided to turn my brain on or there's something weird in the balance of fights.
I loved the writing, the musics (it's really nice there was such a variety of them) and the art looked really good (although I didn't find the ship designs super interesting but it's a matter of taste I suppose). Gameplay was fun, somewhat unclear on some aspects (you keep parts on your ship even when they're destroyed, but you can't see what a part was before it got destroyed so you risk replacing something precious).
A great experience overall.
