Interesting game with beautiful graphic and unique 2.5 D control. Space locations are amazing (stars, asteroid fields, nebulus and supernovas), all looks terrific. There are space combats where we can use lasers or missiles, scanning probes or junks, talking with supervisors and visiting star systems with the use of hyperspace jumps. Ship's control is similar to 2D games but in 3D reality so it isn't something like "Star Wars Squadrons". Nevertheless I enjoy the game a lot...

absolutely horrible controlls

Gameplay is a bit repetitive: Missions are either scanning points in space, talking to someone, or shooting alien ships). But the beautiful and varied graphics and soundtrack kept the game fun. The 2.5D perspective plus the automatic respawning (without losing progress) make this a casual game, no need to ever save and reload. Some aspects of the game felt a bit underdeveloped: I never got caught up in the story, and my dialog choices didn't seem to matter. Early on, I'd use the credits you get for completing missions for upgrades, but maxed out soon. After that, I relied on the alien ships and weapons that appear after completing enough missions. There are some balance issues: I found larger ships to be useless: Their stronger shields don't make up for their size and sluggishness. Missiles, which should have been fun, didn't get much use due to their short range. The level of difficulty varied from "piece of cake" to needing 10+ lives to complete a mission, but I never got stuck.
