The value story

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.99. That was March 2023. 85 discounts in the 12 years on record, a median of 80 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 76 percent. AI War: Fleet Command ($9.99, scores 63) outscores it, and so does Hades' Star (free, scores 33). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

I actually like this game HOWEVER, I can't finish it, and that's not a skills issue. I played a few missions a few weeks ago. Maybe a third of the game? Turned it on this morning, and all of my progress was gone. Didn't think it was too big a deal since I needed a refresher on some of the controls. Then I put my steam deck in sleep mode (so the game was still running) and took a break for lunch. When I got back, the...

Space whispers that commanding here is like WiFi in a tunnel - I'm a happy hostage of pixel fleets and eternal lags with no save

The game has good presentations, the idea seems nice as well. Sadly the execution simply sucks. Despite battles taking a long time and travel between systems taking long as well I find myself constantly microing. Specificaly moving my damaged fleets to healing points and then back to the front. This is barable in the campaign and other than the lobotomized enemy AI its relatively fun atleast. I had fun completing...
