Crying Suns Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Crying Suns is a characterful rogue-lite that really sets its sci-fi tone well from the get-go; strong writing and a great soundtrack build the universe while the high stakes nature of every move is engaging and keeps every run as fresh as the last.
Though it fails to recreate some of what's great about FTL, Crying Suns is still fun.
We're assuming that the relatively gentle challenge is because the developers wanted players to get lost in the story, and that's a perfectly reasonable approach to take, although a more punishing experience might have added a bit more high stakes drama to the combat and, in turn, the overall adventure. We're not going to argue with the direction taken because it resulted in a distinctive and engaging sci-fi adventure with some good ideas and a lot of style, and if you enjoyed FTL then we'd say this one is definitely worth taking a punt on.
Our review is up for Crying Suns , the sci-fi rogue-like for brilliant tacticians!
