How it feels
A deeply strategic and complex simulation of an entire solar system, where you observe and influence the rise and fall of distinct alien civilizations through turn-based tactics and grand strategy.

What players say
Players praise the unique concept but consistently report the mechanics are confusing and hard to learn, with many never figuring out the basics. The game is about influencing alien races as a behind-the-scenes power, not building your own empire, and features a turn-based bullet-hell combat system that some find unpolished.
