Beautifully done! If you’re looking for a calm and casual paced adventure look no further!

This game gets 5 stars and a review from me!

The experience is amazing. Simple to learn and the game meta is a pleasant experience.

You start at a certain point with your desired ship and officers and progress through a variety of small events in order to gain resources that allow you to make upgrades to your ship or purchases at a depot for new units and perks.

You’ll need them as you progress through the map in order to reach the primary point where a difficult final mission event awaits!

Calm and slow paced storytelling make every chapter exciting to experience.

Amazing strategy game BUT

Amazing game but PLEASE let me play my own audio while playing. If I am listening to a podcast or music it pauses when I open the app

Missed opportunity

The concept is good. The RTS space battles are generally well done. The difficulty is dreadfully unbalanced. It is either no challenge on easy or practically unwinnable on normal (sector 1, fighting an enemy with more and higher level squadrons before you’ve had a chance to improve your ship). There are too many lore stops (where you spend in game resources to get weak stories that don’t even progress the plot and nothing to help in the gameplay). The overall story is shallow and (SPOILER ALERT) nihilistic. FTL is a far better game
