It's a really fun game that really just suffers from the small player-base. The cruising is fun and the high stress ship-to-ship combat gets to breathe with smaller PvE segments and traveling downtime that isn't too overwhelming.

Game's really, really good. Genuinely should check it out. Queue times have dropped dramatically since going F2P on Epic. Again, game is actually really good, very fun.

Un très bon jeu... mais qui est mort à cause de la gestion catastrophique de son studio

Great game, hope it finds a larger player base!

Купил игру, через пол месяца померла. Сейчас раздали в EGS. 0/10 хотя бы сундуков за покупку( А сама игра крутая. Особенно с добавлением новых режимов и соло корабля!

Great game and even greater devs. The game feels smooth to play and runs well, at least on my PC, but I’m not a tech guy, so I won’t comment on that any further. AMAZING ART DIRECTION, COLOURS, AND DESIGN — BOTH VISUAL AND AUDIO. IT IS ONE OF THE PRETTIEST GAMES I HAVE EVER PLAYED!!! The developers clearly care, even though morale must be low due to the small player numbers. From my experience, and from what Steam Charts and similar sites show, the player count is consistently around 50 people at most times. If we add cross-platform console players, we may be looking at around 100–200 people at any given moment. The lack of players is, in my opinion, the only thing holding this game back. I attribute this to the very niche genre the game decided to join. A mix of slow looting and collecting, the rush of the chase when someone grabs the artefact and tries to escape, extremely fast-paced (too fast-paced for me) person-to-person boarding combat, and slower, much more my speed, ship-to-ship combat can be difficult to adjust to for some players. Some of my buddies want to focus on ship-to-ship combat, while others want to focus on boarding and blasting enemies. This wouldn’t usually be a problem, but the game requires a lot of teamwork and communication. That can make the game a little difficult for me to enjoy at times. HOWEVER, there are many game modes that allow me to play how I want. There are fast-paced artefact brawls, where the first crew through the gate with the artefact wins, and slower PvE modes like Treasure Hunt, where you just collect treasure and leave whenever you want (my favourite). Then there’s the middle child — Fleet Battle — which strikes a good balance. All ships are split into two teams and fight to score points, with the first team to reach the required score winning. Ships respawn quickly, so it’s fast-paced, but with less stress, allowing different playstyle groups to enjoy their own thing even while on the same crew. Overall, a 9/10 game. Very excited to see what the future holds. ALSO, the devs are active on Discord, and there’s a very nice community there. They even host play-with-the-devs game nights! Really sweet all around. Did I mention how gorgeous this game is?!?! Any Spelljammer fan will love this.

as someone who doesnt really enjoy FPS games its really fun so far playing solo or with friends

For context : Me and my friends tried the game during the double xp and free-play week-end. We found the 1st Tutorial to be OK. But the second one was ♥♥♥♥♥♥ long and didn't add anything of use to the first. So the fact it was mandatory was a pain. We then tried to play using the matchmaking. Couldn't find a match in more than 15min of waiting.... That's when I checked SteamCharts and saw the game was basically dead. Shame cause it sure looked good. Although the gameplay was much too slow to my liking.
