    On the edge of Terran space lies Halcyon 6, a derelict starbase left behind by a mysterious precursor race. Your mission is to reclaim the derelict station and rebuild it.
    A mysterious alien force is making a beeline towards Earth and this starbase is the best chance for the New Terran Federation to establish new alliances, research new technologies and otherwise figure out a way to stop the impending invasion.
    Using only the resources you can salvage from the derelict station and gathered from nearby star systems, its up to you to rebuild the starbase to lead the Terran Republics scientific research, exploration and diplomatic efforts on the edge of known space.
    Halcyon 6 is a passion project whos design is inspired by our years spent playing classic games like Star Control, Master of Orion, X-COM, Civilization and new classics like FTL.

    Ultimately Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander is a game that’s fun in short bursts with considerable levels of potential that shine through in its combat, but the sheer level of busywork in-between sometimes felt unnecessary and too time-consuming for my liking. While it is a great deal for $19.99, whether you will fully enjoy your time in the galaxy is based on your tolerance for micromanagement gameplay.

    Unplayable.
    - so many UI failures (some buttons doesn't works for first press (like fire)), you can watch battle effect only with touch & etc

    - freezes (maybe memory leak, but on cold start freezes remains)
    - crashes (can`t finish the game - it crashes on chruul mother ship battle)

    The game is not so bad - but port for Nintendo switch is too raw
