How it feels

A traditional 4X turn-based strategy with hex maps, procedural galaxies, and layered tactical combat that can be played defensively or aggressively.

What players say

Players describe an early access 4X with a solid foundation but very slow progress, noting years of work remain. The developer is praised for being responsive, but the game is called barebones with tedious planet micromanagement.
