In this game you control a fleet of ships and travel across the galaxy to your homeworld to stop the enemy from blowing it up with a superweapon. Along the way you experience a bunch of random encounters, choices, battles, and earn credits to upgrade your ships or buy new ones.
+ The gameplay is quite a bit of fun as you dodge enemy fire, and strategize with a host of various abilities and tactics. (I personally liked using the Dreadnaught which is basically a big tank that can aggro enemy fire)
+ A variety of different levels with various objectives like defending stations, capturing them, and mostly just defeating a variety of enemies.
+ Shops / Upgrades / Ship Levels help bring a rewarding sense of victory to each level as you continue to get stronger
+ Later, the game get pretty challenging and you really have to take care not to allow any of your fleet to get damaged or you will suffer negative bonuses or may even get destroyed.
+ The intro cutscene and narrative is fantastic, felt like a plot to a movie
- A lot of text dialogue, I felt like this game could have improved with some good narration and characters (the game is pretty void of characters)
- Some of the levels feel a bit repetitive as you fight a similar composition of enemies throughout a sector
