What players say

Players praise the blend of real-time strategy and direct action control, allowing them to jump from fleet commands to piloting planes or ships. The campaign is short but well-paced, though the Steam port has issues like bad auto-targeting and occasional freezing, and some find the manual targeting overwhelming.
