How it feels

A deliberate, methodical blend of base management and tactical space combat with a retro pixel aesthetic.

What players say

Players compare it to XCOM and Advance Wars in space, but say the early game is punishing and the many turn-based battles become a slog. Base management and tactical combat are engaging, though the game shows everything it has fairly quickly and some mechanics feel unpolished.
