'Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes' is a relentlessly oppressive roguelite inspired by FTL

Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes.

Over 20 years after its debut, the “re-imagining” of Battlestar Galactica remains a key part of modern TV and sci-fi as a whole. After some smaller video game adaptations, including the notable turn-based strategy title Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock, developer Alt Shift and publisher Dotemu's take on the bleak universe with Scattered Hopes finally feels like a perfect match.

After barely escaping the annihilation of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol at the hands of the Cylons, a scrappy human fleet tries to survive as it aims to reunite with humanity's last hope — the mighty Battlestar Galactica. Anyone familiar with the show knows what comes next probably won't be pretty, but even diehard fans will be shocked by how brutal Scattered Hopes can be.
