How it feels

You pilot a starship through a procedurally generated tile-based sandbox, choosing your own path among combat, trading, and exploration with tactical tile destruction and near-real Newtonian physics.

What players say

Players praise the depth of ship building and freedom, but note the game has been in early access for years with slow content updates. Combat feels unbalanced with beams dominating, and missions become repetitive. The small development team keeps updating, but the game can be buggy and starts slow.
