What players say
Players compare it to a fast, lightweight version of Twilight Imperium with sessions under an hour. Many cite persistent bugs, especially with carriers being stranded or lacking troop icons, and some report late-game AI turns cause multi-minute waits. Reviews split on value: some praise the $20 price, others say even the sale price is too much for how simple and buggy it is.
