How it feels

You direct fleets and build forces in a tense space conflict driven by resource exploitation and worker revolt.

What players say

Players call it a simple Total War-like space game where turn-based map strategy meets real-time combat. The UI and ship designer are widely criticized for being ugly and confusing, but the core mechanics and low price are praised. There is no diplomacy, and management stays light.
