Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes Review

Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes reviewed by Dan Stapleton on PC. Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes tests how well you hold up under the pressure of command by forcing you to play a game of whack-a-mole against endless waves of Cylon attacks, political crises, and ethical dilemmas that threaten to tear your fleet apart from within while you're simultaneously putting out both literal and metaphorical fires. Neither the pausable real-time combat nor the turn-based strategic management phases are about winning outright so much as they are about escaping without taking too many losses and making the best of bad situations, which keeps tensions high. It's not visually spectacular, but it does have a style that feels true to the BSG series. And like any great roguelike, its random upgrades and ever-escalating challenge modifiers have no trouble justifying another run even dozens of hours in, after you've seen each crisis story play out multiple times. #ign #gaming
