The game's story is structured around linear missions with limited resources and a soft timer, which can create challenges for players, especially if they complete objectives too quickly. While there are multiple campaigns and the ability to carry over resources and ships between missions, players often feel frustrated by the lack of replayability and the inability to save mid-mission. Overall, the narrative is engaging, but the gameplay mechanics can hinder the experience, particularly for those unfamiliar with the game's strategies.
“That said, there are a few different 'campaigns' for story mode, alongside infinite gameplay, and it matters how you do in missions.”
“What resources you mine, and what ships you build, carry over to other missions.”
“A space RTS with a great story.”
“It's a linear mission-to-mission type game with limited resources and a soft timer to complete your objective before you die.”
“I am a bit miffed I can't replay/farm some levels in story mode to help make things easier, so the previous advice will be the only saving grace you have, especially if you play on hard.”
“Yeah, it's fun because I know what I'm doing, but if I didn't, I'd be really frustrated fighting against the game mechanics just to play, and struggling with the headache that is resource farming (and how missions end once you complete all objectives).”
