The game offers a unique and immersive experience of commanding a fleet from the bridge of a ship, making players feel like true fleet admirals.
Despite being in early access, the game has a solid foundation with engaging gameplay, a variety of modes, and a responsive developer actively working on improvements.
The open world feature allows for exploration, trading, and fleet management, providing a satisfying and strategic gameplay experience.
