The Battle of Sol

The game works. No save deletion like Sol: Exodus. So that's nice. The controls are odd, but functional. The story is all over the place, and has very little explanation. You're forced to constantly swap between two characters with two different ships and playstyles. It's only 3 hours, but they charge you $10. The game runs at 30fps in big fights, the menu freezes the game for a second or two when you try to exit it after the first couple of missions, and the final cutscenes have a sequences that breaks and requires you to hit escape to get through it. There's a really annoying escort sequences. AI wingmen don't really respond to orders that you give them most of the time. I say, "Defend my target!" And they go across the map and fight an invincible capital ship. This is probably a 4/10. Below average, probably. It's not worth more than $3. Not worth $2 even, really. You can play flash games that are longer, less buggy, and more fun. Flash games of the same genre. Of the same release year. For free. So I can't really recommend it, no.

Default keybinds are ultra confusing and don't follow any kind of easy to remember logic. Flight controls are wonky as heck. Hard pass.

Unimaginably poor, the control setup is complete chaos. Do not buy this game if you have a Warthog joystick,

Je n'aime pas DU TOUT noter un jeu négativement mais là, c'est digne du joueur du grenier. C'est très dur à jouer. J'entends, c'est CHIANT à jouer et non difficile. Il n'y a pas de propulseurs latéraux ! La fonction "slide" est laborieuse. Les graphismes et la musique sont loin d'être inoubliables. Par contre le côté multi faction est sympa :) Autant délirer sur Freespace 2 ;) C'est vraiment mal foutu. Je n'ai pris aucun plaisir à jouer.

I had an absolute BLAST with this game. Really fun simple space combat game. The voice acting is entertaining. At first I wondered but later I became sure that some is done way over the top as a satirical homage to the old greats like Wing Commander. For example, you can easily tell who the bad guys are because of the voice acting. Also, the banter between your squad mates is very often hilariously cringe but on-purpose. It's one fun game, no doubt about it.

I would definitely reccomend this game to anybody who is a fan of accessible space shooters. There are no complicated controls and functions that serve very little purpose(At least from my experience - this might differ for someone else) and has an adequate story for the price. There are very clearly defined character roles throughout, which I personally thought were well written and served a purpose. My only complaint is the lack of control over the 'drift' of your ship and maneuverability, which often results in you crashing into a frigate, something which can result in your instant death depending on the ship you are piloting and the speed you are going at. Overall, though i've not played much of it so far, I would highly recommend this, especially at the sale price(69p at my time of writing - 02/08/17). Despite my current playtime, I could easily see myself finishing this. For reference I use a mouse and keyboard, not a joystick, and I have had no problems.
