    Too random to be called a strategy game, too non-scary to be classified as adventure; think of it as the Cliff’s Notes version of Star Control. [Mar 2006, p.64]

    This game is one of the best I've come across in a very long time. Quick and easy to get into, but it never ceases to be interesting and This game is one of the best I've come across in a very long time. Quick and easy to get into, but it never ceases to be interesting and challenging. Although turn-based, it has live-action combat to keep the most interesting aspects as exciting as they can be.

    I don't understand the high ratings on this game. The game has not much to offer. The things it does offer have already been done better inI don't understand the high ratings on this game. The game has not much to offer. The things it does offer have already been done better in the past.

    Only played the game for a couple of minutes as the game doesn't offer a whole lot. You fly around in a galaxy to other planets or stars to find equipment to upgrade your craft. There is no expansion on planets, no R&D for better equipment. The game doesn't have a lot of eye candy either. It isn't pretty to look at which further motivates you from stop playing the game.
