Hmm. So... A Hardwar in Elite II's clothes with a bit of Doom sprinkled over it. Interesting. 
I bought it on early access last year and quickly refunded it due to it being essentially Oregon Trail wearing a sci-fi skin. Straight away random things started happening during journeys without anything I could do about them, yeah, decided it wasn’t for me.Oh my, the combat looks 100% like Star Trek 25th Anniversary and Judgement Rites. This is awesome
Then again, is it Hyperspace Oregon Trail?
I really enjoyed Organ Trail, but I knew what I was buying into with that. I saw Star Trek 25th mentioned with regards to HDS and bought into it due to that. Mistake.
On the plus side, it did get me to replay the two Interplay games again via dosbox, after rooting out my old CD’s.
Edit: having looked at the above video, it seems more player agency has been added to the random encounters. Hmmm, back on the radar methinks...

I almost got through that 3 hour video, and honestly for the price they are asking, this looks like a solid buy for me. I don't mind the Oregon Trial randomness, as there does seem to be a game underneath that I can enjoy in short bursts, which it is meant to be. I love the attention to detail in the modes they went for to evoke certain feelings. Space combat being modelled after 25th, and the ground mission basically being Blake Stone is funny for me. It's not something I'll obsess over for weeks, that's for sure, but I think I can get some enjoyment out of it, especially for the 8 EUR or so pricetag.
