Bought the physical game randomly on a vacation trip, and for a quick filler it is ok. The art is nice enough and it's over relatively quickly. But it's too random to be a proper game. There is some skill, but it's nigh irrelevant compared to the simple luck of the draw (both in terms of what cards you can buy to add to your deck, and what you draw from your own deck). And in the online competitive Arena it's even worse due to all the expansions tacked on, with the worst offender being Secret Missions (both players draw 3 cards each; you can complete one per turn and get a little bonus, but when you complete the third it's instant victory - this exacerbates the randomness of the market to a ridiculous level, basically whoever has the cards they need show up first in the market wins). On the bright side you can try it for free and see for yourself (base game only, which is arguably better than when it has a bunch of expansions added), but in my opinion it's not worth spending money on. Also keep in mind it has all the predatory elements of modern "gaming" - lootboxes et al - while not really being free to play.

positive critical· bar length = how often the theme comes up
once you understand it the strategies become very in depth for a living card game and all the expansions makes very exiting and interesting gameplay just wish you could play online for free
great game - longer staying power than any other game I play.
Il miglior gioco da tavolo di sempre, anche in versione digitale.
I play it to kill time on my way to work.
Карточная стратегия в космическом сеттинге (deck‑building) с элементами коллекционной карточной игры. Игроки строят колоду, покупают корабли и базы, атакуют противника и оптимизируют ресурсы — цель: снизить очки здоровья оппонента до нуля. Доступны одиночный режим (против ИИ) и мультиплеер. Дата выхода: 8 марта 2016 года. Плюсы: простая механика — быстро разобраться; короткие партии (20–25 минут); кроссплатформенность: синхронизация прогресса между ПК и мобильными устройствами; 4 фракции с уникальными бонусами (Звёздная Империя, Торговая Федерация, Технокульт, Слизняки); механика «утилизации» карт для оптимизации колоды; бесплатная базовая версия с учебным режимом и 6 миссиями кампании; награды: SXSW 2014 Board Game of the Year, 7 Golden Geek Awards и 2 награды Dice Tower; регулярные дополнения расширяют контент. Минусы: для полного доступа нужны платные DLC (расширенные миссии, уровни сложности, онлайн‑игра); заметная роль случайности при выборе карт в «торговом ряду»; интерфейс может показаться перегруженным новичкам; небольшой онлайн в мультиплеере; некоторые карты объективно сильнее других — это влияет на баланс. Итог: отличная карточная стратегия для любителей deck‑building и космической тематики. Сочетает простоту освоения с глубиной тактики: подходит и новичкам, и опытным игрокам. Бесплатная версия даёт возможность оценить геймплей, а платные дополнения добавляют контента и соревновательных возможностей.

Simple but fun, purchase gives both Steam and Android
Very interesting game. You need some luck here and there, but other than that, you also need to plan well and buy the best cards for your current deck.
