The gameplay is accessible and enjoyable, featuring a classic build and conquer mechanic that offers a reasonable challenge, especially at higher AI settings. While it lacks depth compared to similar games, it serves as a quick and functional diversion with decent graphics and sound. Some improvements in UI and control support would enhance the experience.
“Easy to pick up, and the AI (at the highest setting) provides a reasonable challenge while understanding the mechanics.”
“While some extra UI polish and numpad support would help, the game is functional and the build and conquer mechanic is classically enjoyable.”
“There's a clone of this game on Desura called '10 Min Space Strategy' with many more gameplay elements, factions, and quirks to choose from, and it's free.”
“It's not terribly deep gameplay, but if you want a quick diversion that doesn't require a huge commitment, this is nice.”
