The game's story is engaging and allows players to progress at their own pace, with no unskippable cut-scenes and the freedom to choose mission order. It features a surprisingly good narrative with branching paths and moral choices, complemented by unique science fiction elements and challenging missions. However, some players experienced technical issues, including crashes during gameplay.
“There are no unskippable cut-scenes, allowing you to take in as much of the story as you like, and get to the 'good part' of the game as soon as you wish.”
“The story moves along quickly enough to keep you interested, allowing you to take missions in the order you prefer, as they become available.”
“Piloting a larger ship just felt good, the science fiction technology was unique, the missions were challenging but fair, and it had a surprisingly good story with some branches and morality choices involved.”
“The command scheme and graphics certainly are dated at this point.”
“Game constantly crashed when entering the Lagrange point in the second mission, and no patch could be found (nor should one have been needed, frankly).”
