    • “Ships scale up in performance over the course of the campaign, with each section of the career dedicated to a speed class.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy has been criticized for its unethical practices, as the developer offers free game keys in exchange for advertising but subsequently revokes them, leading to accusations of scamming.
