Simple but fun – Hades' Star Review

I love the simplicity of this game. The galaxy is very detailed, while the ships look very simple. My biggest complaint is the rapidly increasing costs of upgrades. It takes quite a while to work up the tens of thousands of credits needed to start making serious progress, then as soon as you upgrade, the amount credits needed for the next level is staggering. The upgrade costs of basic, starting ships go from 10,000 to 60 or even 80,000 credits. If you have nothing else to do for hours upon hours of your life, this will fill in this gap. I can’t do this, a feature that allows you to earn credits offline is necessary. You can’t move the short range scanner to another sector, or break it down to get credits or materials back. It becomes useless after you’ve scanned everything around you. The next scanner is very pricey and comes with much more expensive scans, most of my time is spent transporting goods from planet to planet, just to work up enough credits to upgrade one item or build something new. If there was more variety, or the game had balanced progression to make it more interesting before spiking the prices, I’d probably keep it. As is, I may give it a few more days, if I’m unable to build something that drastically changes my experience, it’ll be off my phone.
