Nov. 2020

awesome game. saw video's of people playing it. I was immediately hooked. The campaign has the right amount of challenge and levels. forcing the player to think outside the box and change up their ships or optimize micro managing. haven't tried the multiplayer yet. I'm kinda late to the party here. but seeing how you can use AI is really cool. program a ship to prioritize certain tactics in a battle. 1 minor complaint is that you can't add any of the dlc items to your ships in the campaign mode. I can understand some of the shaded stuff, but the insignia's and stripes to make your ships more unique? That should be changed. Also its kinda hard to keep ships symmetrical.

Tried this game out a few days ago, and I've found it one of the most interesting RTS game I've played in awhile. Very simple premise, easy to get into. Yet difficult to master. It exemplifies the concept of simplicity. The developers are definitely onto something great here. Would be nice to have a focused set of gameplay types, but I've been rocking out playing the campaign and pvp battles.

Awesome quick, simple, rts game with a good campaign and lots of customization options. I only wish the graphics would look better, like Strikefleet Omega on Android.

Its a decent game. The campaign is also the tutorial. I spent almost a year playing it. Pro 1_Get to build your own ship. 2_Ai System for the ships. 3_There's multiple player mode. 3v3/ 2v2/ 1v1. 4_Moderator are usually on 5_Regular updates. 6_Balance weapons. 7_Its Free. Con 1_Theres essentially one game mode. Which is one team vs another team in captureing points/flags. 2_Matching making isnt balanced. It gets decided by the host. For example if the host has a full 3 pros on their team, the host can let 3 new players in the opposite team. Basically a slaughter fest. 3_Match Making is also very messy due to the multiple lobby that is generate but often stays on even when there isnt players in them. 4_The last one is managble but when the theres too many ship in play during a 3v3 crashes often. Heres some way they can fix the game. 1_Make sure each player finishes campaign before they can play multiplayer mode. 2_Revamp the match making system to 10 lobby max. So people always run into another player. 3_Add in another game mode. 4_Limit the amount of ship that can be build for 3v3 so you guys can managed the server stress level. I rate this game 7/10 at the momment. I know the dev can do better but i know its also just a project currently.

This game shouldn't be free. I had great fun playing this and subsequently bought the dlc regardless of what it was. A shame you can't build bigger ships and just have capital ship battles with a couple of fighters. If you like ship constructing games where you can change everything you will enjoy this. I personally had a great time pretty much designing entire new fleets for every level once the first easier half of the campaign was cleared. Good progression though, starts out easy enough then gets complex fast. Enjoyable, would pay money for this any day.
