Проходится быстро, компания на пару часов. Бои интересные, механика - простая и понятная, многим инди-разработчикам космосимов бы поучитться. Стилистика и дизайн при очень простой графике просто супер
Criminally underrated. Best arcade space fighter sim. This game is so inspired by BSG that they unfortunately opted to not include computer network features (co-op/multiplayer). Very short. Could use more missions/content but still worth it just to experience this awesome title. Praying for a sequel with more loadout options, mission variety, co-op, maybe a commander mode or something if someone just wants to command units like an RTS while their friends fly fighters.

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.

gud
for the emperor always
I recently picked up a HOTAS/HOSAS setup and was eager to find a game to break them in and this came recommended after some internet searching. It's a game that is easily beaten in a few hours on easy which is generally where you should start but once you reach the conclusion it's clear there's some reason to play it through more than once. It's not necessarily the most compelling reason as the game is pretty narrative light but it's enough to have piqued my interest as I'm now going back through the missions on high difficulties at the time of writing this. At full price this game may not be worth it to you but on a $5 sale it was absolutely worth the price of admission and then some. I'd love to see a sequel if the devs ever to decide to take that on, the space combat genre is one in need of some new blood. The combat is fun with a more nuanced and tactical approach required for high difficulties where you'll need to utilize and command your larger ships in order to have a chance of success against the larger enemy fleets.
aaaaa
Configuring a controller pŕoperly feels like work. I have 51 minutes of this game clocked and literally all of it is trying to make the controls make sense. I just cannot. Which is sad, the game looks promising otherwise. Perhaps I'll go at it with mouse and keyboard at some point, but I don't know. 6dof flying game with a mouse. Come on.
I suck at shooting
Really fun, controls are easy to figure out within your first and second sortie. 10/10 Only complaint I have is there is not a second game, A second installment would be sick and an easy first day buy.
tudo sob os céus está em grande caos, a situação é excelente
