Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
11 of 32 sampled reviews raised it
The story is surprisingly well written as well, and you find yourself wondering what will come next as the plot intensifies through the game. the main character is kind of an over-the-hill Burt Reynolds, and could do with a bit more passion in his VA, but he grows on you after a while.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 32 sampled reviews raised it
Its truly an addicting title, with great music, recently added passable voice acting (some of its really good, such as the pirate queen and her entourage, including one guy who does a minor role as a pirate who sounds like a pro, to others which sound a bit plain and uh....not-so- pro. Its a mixed bag, but thats ok because it really helps with the immersion anyways).
Gameplay

Of course you need to do the story mission, but being able to choose the others also give you some replayability.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

TLDR: Much like its predecessor, Steel Shadows provides a competent and satisfying gaming experience if you’re a fan of tactical turn-based space combat.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The graphics and 3D modeling are top notch, and really enjoy the zoom in which happens randomly so you can see the detail in action!
