Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
92 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Upgrades to the weapons, utilities and engines you can place always end in a 20% performance boost, so "grind to win" can be the solution if you're stuck somewhere.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Voice acting is good, and illustrations for the story visually hold up well on a high resolution display.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Make sure to have enough engine power to deliver your cargo in time, defences like shields and ecm and of course plenty of different weapons, all with special abilities.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fun tower defense type of game with nice and effective graphics and an extremely cheesy 'story'.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design complements the action with crisp weapon effects and ambient space audio, reinforcing the sense of urgency during intense waves.
