How it feels

A fast and strategic shoot-'em-up that mixes frantic combat with colony building and tech upgrades.

What players say

Players praise the mix of classic shoot 'em up action with RTS colony management and research between missions. The difficulty slider offers ten options, but some players find the progression grindy and the colonization system underdeveloped. A few note the lack of controller remapping as a downside.
