actually really good! none of the bs that came with trying to start playing ftl, this game is still harsh but fair instead of just cruel. it's very satisfying to win with a losing hand, and this game is the personification (videogameification?) of that. super satisfying to earn a win because you really did do just that, it takes a lot of thinking and moment-to-moment gameplay is literally just sitting there watching the screen thinking it's hopeless before inspiration strikes. The mechs and weapons all have really varied effects that dramatically change how each playthrough goes, but there's nothing major to work towards except the satisfaction of feeling smart and unlocking other mechs to play the same game all over again with.
