    This is a fun game ONCE you figure out: 1) controls 2) what is going on 3) what all the little "things" mean (arrows, colors, signs, flashing symbols etc) 4) get the patch 1.1 installed, and fix the joystick --- Go to the game forum for a "real" manual since the one that comes with the game is pretty useless... oh yeah, and there's no real tutorials...

The game is very much like Elite if you are old enough to remember that, it's a space trading, fighting game that is best enjoyed with a very slow deliberate and relaxed pace in mind. Other than frantic fighting that takes real skill, and preparations (change to correct missiles and guns, the battle is over in seconds... wrong guns, wrong missiles... minutes or hours.) There is so much to discover and learn that if you enjoy this kind of open ended exploration/mining/trading/"x-wing" style combat then you will like this game. The main storyline is pretty average, with absolutely AWFUL acting. Most lines are delivered similar to a really bad high school... no, better make that elementary school play. What is fun for me is just nosing around, experimenting and finding new stuff, plus the visuals are fantastic. (on a dual core, with 4gb of memory and dual sli nvidia 512mb cards- your milage may vary.)… Expand

    This game recieves full score from me for several reasons. First, the amazing soundtrack. It alone makes me want to play the game. It really flungs you out in the galaxy. Second, the graphics. It to is magical. Combined with the music it creates the best space-sim feeling in a game I have played. Third reason, the fights. Tough adrenaline pumping action. Forth reason is the exploration.This game recieves full score from me for several reasons. First, the amazing soundtrack. It alone makes me want to play the game. It really flungs you out in the galaxy. Second, the graphics. It to is magical. Combined with the music it creates the best space-sim feeling in a game I have played. Third reason, the fights. Tough adrenaline pumping action. Forth reason is the exploration. Many systems to explore, many species, many secrets. The game has a few downsides, like the steep learning curve, short story and repetetive missions. However, it's better to have an advanced game than a simple one and the non story-mode gameplay is almost as fun as the story-mode. So the biggest downside is repetetive missions, but that doesn,t matter much when you want to fix medals and explore the galaxy. SpaceForce: Rouge Universe is simply one of the best sci-fi games if you like the feeling of really explore space in a beautiful and fantastic way.… Expand

    Awsome Game!! The Battles at the Beginning are NOT hard at all (just need to turn down the Diff),the graphics are great,the music is great also. There isnt any multiplayer yet but there "might" be down the road,The Advertisement on Steam stateing that there is multiplay is a mistake by Steam not the developer or the publisher. Overall the game is Great,i say buy it if ya like space games.

    I'm determined to help this games rating. It took me almost a week to get over the learning curve. However, this is "the" single most expansive sci-fi flight sim I have ever played. Not only does it offer in-game benchmarks for Dx10, it offers a galaxy of star systems and planets, factions and multiple game-play options. Beautiful game with lots of flight controls.

    Clunky and unimaginative.

    A graphically amazing, highly playable engine is let down by a fairly predictably storyline and repetitive mission structure.

    Spaceforce offers up a beautiful, dynamic universe to explore, though it suffers from a steep learning curve.
