What players say

Players strongly split on this free-to-play space game. Some enjoy it in the long run, especially with paid packs, but many more describe aggressive monetization, a punishing economy where mission income does not cover costs, poor controls with no radar or lead indicator, and flight restricted to 2D-like movement. Multiple warn of losing progress if a mission fails early.
