How it feels
A desperate, choice-laden space survival sim where every ship added to your fleet is a gamble between strength and starvation.

What players say
Players compare this to FTL but on a larger scale, managing a fleet of ships while fleeing an unstoppable enemy. The resource and faction politics add depth, but many find the game punishingly hard with RNG-driven progression. Opinions are split, especially on how finished the early access game feels after many years in development.
