    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by solid battle mechanics involving various weapon types like cannons and lasers, but it suffers from significant bugs and lag, leading to a frustrating experience. Players note a lack of clear explanations for some mechanics, and the challenge level can feel unbalanced, with strong enemy fleets often attacking before players can respond.

    • “Game is fairly fun, with different kinds of combat mechanics.”
    • “That being said, there is definite room for improvement gameplay-wise, as even on low difficulties, strong fleets will spawn in and they almost always get a shot off before you have a chance to activate your guns due to having to find their ships.”
    • “Somewhat buggy/laggy, and little to no explanation of some mechanics.”
    • “Laggy as crap, boring gameplay.”

    • “The music and art direction is great.”

    • “It isn't being developed any more, but there is certainly enough game here to burn through a few hours of entertainment, enjoying the visuals and music and playing with the tinker-toys.”

  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is criticized for being too thin and lacking depth, with players expressing a desire for a more structured narrative that includes distinct homeworlds for factions and mission-driven storytelling. Additionally, the absence of clear mission indicators complicates navigation, detracting from the overall experience. Players suggest that a more robust and engaging story framework could significantly enhance gameplay.

    • “The story is way too thin in my opinion; I'd prefer if there were 20-50 set systems that generated the same each new game.”
    • “The author of this game could set up homeworlds for each of the factions, maybe have some neutral worlds in between the factions' territory, and then write a story through missions and let you pick which faction to associate with.”
    • “Everywhere I warp to is loaded with overpowered enemies, and it doesn't display where my next mission is, so I have to guess where it is via the map.”
