Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
167 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The mechanics that are in place (combat, upgrading, exploring) are simple and compelling enough to keep you doing it without being demanding enough to feel like a chore- complex upgrade requirements and tons of grinding aren't needed, which helps keep you engaged.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
150 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The storyline is fun, the missions are varied, and there's an unmarked quest line that you might want to look into, if you want all the achievements too.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
125 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat in the air is satisfying, wheeling around to get the main damage via the broadside weapons is amusing, and up to 3/4 of the way through, you have to think about where you hit the enemy ships.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visuals are nice with the pixel graphics, if sometimes a bit muddy (when you aren't on your ship).
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I played entirely on the SteamDeck and outside of periodic moments of lag when there were a lot of enemies on the screen it performed very well.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On the other hand, I like what they did with the sound effects.
