The game features an ambitious mix of strategy, management, and action that was ahead of its time.
Empire management, including micromanaging planets and fleets, is where the game truly shines.
Dynamic AI gives factions their own agendas, adding an interesting layer to the gameplay.

Combat is dull and simplistic, lacking excitement and stakes, making it the worst part of the game.
The user interface is painfully clunky, making navigation and gameplay frustrating.
Graphics are bland and uninspired, even for a mid-'90s game, contributing to a repetitive gameplay experience.
