How it feels

A blistering, tactical space shooter where you command a fleet from the cockpit, mixing dogfighting with strategic pauses for a tense, arcade-like feel.

What players say

Players love the space combat and intense audio design, but the campaign is only a couple of hours long and can feel repetitive. The game shines with a controller or VR headset, though joystick and VR controller support is missing.
