35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, I thought the graphics and sound qualities was good but felt the game was rather weak in that it lacks any difficulty settings.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The tone of black comedy and "just run with it" silliness from the movie is preserved, from the mission briefings with Madame President Totally-Not-Sarah-Palin, to the political shenanigans of the various national representatives, to the over-the-top voice acting from the various pilots in the fleet.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Keyboard and mouse is next to unplayable, no joystick support (although I couldn't test it myself), but an Xbox controller makes it pretty fun.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its default graphics configuration performs well on Steam Deck, the interface text is considered legible, and the game runs successfully on SteamOS.
