Nov. 2024

Possibly the best space combat game I've ever played. The story is dark but fascinating and combines beautifully with the Dune-like atmosphere and brutal gameplay. Nothing feels cooler than hitting the enemy hard and fast (while drifting!), then warping out as the enemy flagship warps in. "YOU ARE OUTGUNNED." Not for long. Play in VR for an even cooler experience!

Nov. 2024

Even though this is a short game it is such a fun game, feeling the speed of the fighter makes it so much fun.

June 2024

Flight controls feel fantastic. The strategic play is seamless and very cool ( reminds me a bit of the old midway games ). The flavor is dripping with that Warhammer 40k doomed cause vibe. I enjoyed the hell out of this game. That said, there just isn't enough here to justify the price, it feels like a demo. The game isn't unfinished just very short, it's polished to high AA quality. If you see this on sale DO NOT pass it up.

March 2024

A rare game that adheres to brevity. The longest mission is around 5 minutes. Outside of needing more scenery, whats here is polished to a mirror sheen. If length is really a concern for you, push the game a little bit. Those who complain its only an hour long played on Easy, and the other difficulties change the encounters up dramatically.

Feb. 2024

You can see everything this game has to offer in a single sitting, but what it has is polished to an absolute shine. This is a master class in how to handle space combat flight sims.
