    • “The storyline is cool, since you have many natural/physical abnormalities to experience.”
    • “The story while linear is quirky, funny, and entertaining, completely tongue-in-cheek in places (dubstep space station anyone?) but leads you around the galaxy and shows off what this game can do.”

    • “Crap complete crap my opinion may not accommodate yours but I say it is a terrible game without a storyline, and a keyboard layout that seemed like people's fingers were meant to be an inch longer.”

    • “Exciting gameplay, great music and beautiful graphics!”
    • “The core gameplay is the real star here; it's an a-RPG that wears its title proudly: enemies explode in crazy piles of loot which are easy enough to collect (thankfully flying by loot auto-collects it), the writing is fast-paced and witty, and the world is huge.”
    • “The developer began making really weird updates that drastically changed the gameplay altogether, to the point it can, in my opinion, be easily perceived as trolling.”
    • “The gameplay is horrible with very little story.”
    • “Odd object cleanup/disappearing/appearing mechanic, stations pop into existence slowly after entering the sector, I assume as it loads them; asteroids pop up, float for a bit, then disappear. You can scan a few asteroids, then turn around and they're all gone. Loot disappears on a timer, so you have to be quick to collect it all.”
