I didn't notice this game until today, it looks really cool. I'm a bit too scared to jump in the deep in with games like Stellaris or Sins of a Solar Empire, but I really enjoyed FTL. This game looks like it would be a nice stepping stone with really charming pixel graphics. It has a lot of the features of 4X space exploration games, except all of the combat takes with a simplified JRPG turn-based system. Definitely going to grab this when I see it on sale.
