Why don't you have this? No, really, why don't you HAVE this game? It's a criminally underloved space sim. Get it. Get this game. Right now. RIGHT NOW. Can't afford $20? Fine, wait for a sale. It goes on sale for like... A DOLLAR. It feels amazing on a gamepad, on a HOTAS, and guess what? It's supposedly amazing in VR. It's such a good space game. And the soundtrack is sublime. The artstyle is superb. The controls feel amazing. There's no downside. The Emperor is dead! Kill the traitor lords and bring ruin to their people.
it is a solid 8/10 game but very short and can be a tad bit repetitive. You pilot a small fighter against many other spaceships. You gain more ships that you can give orders to but cannot pilot.

Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.11/day in the week to Aug 4 → 0.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I don't think I have the right kinda Autism for this game.
Es un juego de combate espacial como los de antes. Es realmente entretenido y hay un modo de desafío en el que puedes probar cuantas rondas puedes aguantar con tu armada. Uno de los problemas del juego es que hay algunos beneficios que, para algunos vehículos es mucho mejor que otros. Por ejemplo, el escudo de energía.
It's a nice, if short, experience. I suppose it's a pretty good game if you're into arcade flight games and trying to scratch that Ace Combat itch. I wouldn't say it's very hard, but there's certainly better games if you're new to the arcade flight genre.
The game is worth spending time on. It has beautiful, if simplistic graphics, and while it does not require VR or HOTAS to enjoy, I've found it worked very well with them. Controls are simple but sufficient for the task. I found navigating the tactical map a bit cumbersome in general and very much so with HOTAS, but ended up not insisting much on the tactical aspect and still got most missions on 3 difficulties. For the admirable people willing to spend extra time mapping specific tactical map controls, even such qualms might well be overcome. There are fine tutorials and instructions from advanced players to refer to. At the time I played the game (spring 2026), VR was not compatible with mouse controls: I tried to use them to facilitate navigating the tactical map. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the devs improving and patching stuff even then, so who knows, maybe the mouse + VR pair is also implemented by the time you read this. Overall, for the few euro I got this game for, it's great value, and I think it fits well both to a casual playstyle or to the more advanced experience for the intense, driven people out there. Thanks to the crew for building this and selling it at an affordable price. Much appreciated.
The only bad thing about this game is that there is no sequel nor modding scene
super fun game. not enough space dogfighting games much less quality ones. i completed the story in under 2 hours. while you will most likely do the same, do us all a favor - dont refund the game. give the developer your money so they can make a banger sequel and feed and house themselves and their families in the process. i bought this on a deep sale, so im satisfied. those who pay the full 20 may feel a little ripped off at how short it is, but i think it's well worth the investment to get a sequel thats hopefully longer.
cool game wish there was more!!!
I hope we have more of this kind of game. Recommend
