How it feels

You feel like a station commander using a VR headset to glance at and shoot waves of incoming enemy ships in a simple, arcade-like space battle.

What players say

Players praise the concept of a 3D space missile command but sharply criticize the controls, especially head-aiming and janky missile lock-on. A few see it as a polished short-burst score chaser, while most find it gets boring quickly and recommend buying only in a deep sale or bundle.
