Colony - A Space RPG Hack 1.0.1 + Redeem Codes

An interesting combination of Slay the Spire and FTL.

Advice for people who aren’t familiar with deck building games: Adding mediocre cards or cards that don’t synergize with your deck’s strategy make your deck worse. Removing or selling bad cards from the deck improves it. Pick the strongest card you find, and reroll if all options are the weakest cards in the defeated opponents deck. Try to focus on a theme, like missiles, lasers, or a particular status effect (for example, fire and freeze effects cancel each other out, so only use one in your deck)

There are different scenarios and loadouts for replayability and variety, and a lot of well written events that give it a consistent light sci-fi theme. The UI is clean and straightforward, and the controls are comfortable and easy to use, especially for faster players who are used to the genre and already know what the options are. I appreciate the thought put into making the game mechanics are easy to understand and learn, yet difficult to master.

I made it to about 52% colonization on medium difficulty and was wiped out by a pirate without a chance. It would be nice if more defensive cards were available. Perhaps when I keep playing, more will turn up in the salvage. I am a fan, however. Look forward to more updates. Also, I like the comical aspect of the story as well. 😂 …. So I have played about 4 play throughs. I feel as though the pirates are overly powerful on medium difficulty. There is like 0 chance of beating them when I get to 40 or 50 percent colonization. Cards need balancing big time. Hard to win when the pirates are dealing out 30 pts of damage and I can only do 15 to 21 pts with Boosters active and all. 5.99 game needs to be balanced. Starting to feel like a P2W and its a one time purchase game. Tighten up developer! 🔧 So even while playing on easy difficulty I made it to 85 % colonization. I had to fight pirate after pirate. I had no way of repairing my colony. All the random encounters were pirate attacks. This game is impossible to win. I feel like I donated 6 dollars. Unless you feel like donating money, don’t buy this game. More fun in deleting the game than playing it. 👎🏾

iPad only? Which is weird considering it’s really only a text based game. Goal is to find a planet and ‘colonize’ it by holding off pirates (or others) and building up your defenses. It it very much a deck builder where every round brings the offer of new gear or upgrades. There are different styles of play and combat (lasers, missiles, etc) that have slightly altered cards (equipment) to play. While I have enjoyed myself I can’t say this game is very difficult, nor does it seem to offer a lot of odd strategy or card options. There is a sense or roll play, if you’re into that, but it plays out rather awkwardly on the screen with multiple screen clicks to have conversations and events. It needs some more content and it really needs to be available for phones. Otherwise I very much enjoyed this for a few solid hours.
