Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
20 of 84 sampled reviews raised it
The game-play, a cross between asteroids and space war, with a minor crafting element, is enjoyable, if a bit samey over the 20 hrs or so to finish the game, though it has to be said, that there is a frankly outrageous difficulty curve in the last third of the game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
12 of 84 sampled reviews raised it
SUMMARY: plot is simple, but intriguing, graphics is nice, strategy is straightforward.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
10 of 84 sampled reviews raised it
There aren't many weapons, but each of them can hold their own against all enemies.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 84 sampled reviews raised it
These issues don't matter too much though, as the art style is pleasingly retro, with a cartoony grace that a higher resolution would wash away the human touch.
