The Last Strand

This game is a bit like the OG Star Trek. It's not much to look at but it is fun and has a sense of adventure.

If you like Isaac, then you should enjoy this one. Positive - Lots of items even if the game is still in Early access - You will have to choose to explore longer and find more items/pickups, but take the risk to be overwhelm by enemies - You can choose to increase the run difficulty like in Hades - Pirates ! Negative: - the "manipulate the item pool" mechanism is very basic (like a skill tree), I hope the dev will improve that at release

For example, the bird one that dashes at you at intervals, basic "gl...
