**ALL CHARACTERS LOOK AND ALL HAVE THEIR OWN PERSONALITIES**

Alot of options for builds,the different playstyle options for your ships,stats,weapons are great as you can customise alot especially liked if you have two of the same gun such as RED HOUND you attack twice and can adjust stats to improve damage with them. I liked using Red Hound, Bulldog,Steel Eel,as this meant i did electric machine gun cannon damage every attack.

Even when I failed missions made me determined to try again as simple gameplay mechanics had me hooked as not as daunting at the start of the game.

Sometimes you cant move ship as can be blocked in by enemies and sometimes you find yourself where you moving around trying get within range can be annoying to some.

The world is very pretty and interesting to explore loved the detail even on the enemy spawn location and other stuff was very cool.

**WORLD SUPER INTERESTING AND FELT ALIVE**

The story and lore kept me interested throughout liked how all the different mission givers had different sounding robot voices and personalities.

The amount of builds you can make is huge such as melee only or aoe weapons and types of weapon damage such as armor,energy,physical.

**TONS OF BUILDS AND WEAPONS FOR BUILDS THAT ARE UNIQUE**

Usage of CP (ability points) is refreshing in different ways such as my favourite type was running two guns a melee and a push back weapon which is good as one gun uses CP but have skills to gain CP so can use higher damage weapons.

Alot of difficulty options to adjust game to your playstyle but even on easy is still a challenging game.

The game is very addictive loved the mutiple choices you get in missions that have good bad options that are different such as walk in tomb do you destroy it or study it or find another way and there glyphs to learn.But options can be anything from extra cp ,more health to lose health make necrons stronger,move more alot options keeps game exciting.
