One of the best strategy/roguelike games ever. Over 100 hours played according to my Steam account and I probably only get 4 hours gaming in a week.

I've got about 400hours in this across the Steam version and the GOG copy I own. It's got a massive learning curve but that curve is enjoyable as you get better and learn to make good decisions to get to the end. This price is well worth adding it to your library.
Personally I prefer using the DRM free option you can get from GOG because you can install it on other family computers and not worry about if someone else is using your steam profile at the same time as you. Unfortunately it's a lot more expensive currently on Steam.

I too have several hundred hours logged on this game - insanely cheap for a fantastic game that offers so much replay value.

love this game and a snip at this price. I am actually surprised that this game hasn't been bought and completely redone. Stellaris type thing but keeping some of FTL unique features. Heat btw

Bought, never played this before and comments in here seem very positive! Heated too of course.

Good value at this price, but I don't rate it as highly as clearly plenty of others do. I found it to be too reliant on luck more so than skill. If you don't get decent luck with finding weapons / shops / fuel / crew, you won't win.
