How it feels

A methodical space-trading game where you chart your own course through a branching story of commerce, piracy, or discovery.

What players say

Players praise the scope of a living galaxy where each planet can be landed on and developed, but find the universe repetitive with identical NPCs and low variety. The mouse-driven 3D star map makes finding destinations frustrating, especially on AMD cards where jump points vanish. Many ignore the short plot and focus on the trading loop, which one player calls 'small but refined.'
