How it feels

A slow-moving, tension-filled grand strategy where you manage covert factions, nations, and space assets against an impending alien threat.

What players say

Players praise the ambition and depth but are sharply divided by the execution. The tutorial is nearly useless, forcing most to rely on outside guides. Campaigns are extremely long and slow, with unrecoverable mistakes that only become apparent dozens of hours later. Many find the complexity rewarding, while as many describe it as tedious busywork.
