A game gives full feeling being in space and piloting the starship. There is a pretty big solar system to explore, with constant events and battles against enemies. I'm enjoying the epic space battles and the music in the game. Joining the Dominion and enter the war versus Cult and fighting pirates in space, yeah! The main part of the gameplay is space exploring, fighting the bad ones, researching, reading and imaging. The tactics, diplomacy in between fractions and reputation system is making to think what step to take. I also like creating my own spaceship in creative mode. The good idea in the game is programming, especially the software center with its challenges.

This is not a game you can judge in one or two hours. After a couple of hours, you are only starting to discover new mechanics. Another hour later, you find even more, and only then do you begin to get used to the UX and understand what is really happening. What looks simple at first turns out to be a game with many mechanics. The game does not really teach them or guide you. After a very minimal explanation, it just throws the player into the world and leaves them to figure things out on their own — how to survive and how to succeed on their path. This is a great game that will either hook you for a long time, or you will miss many of its mechanics, and the game will never fully open up for you. So stock up on money, fresh apples, new pilots, and let’s go fight the Cult. Or help him?

Very cool game. Original concept. Deep mechanics. Weapons feel different and are fun to program. 10 cult corruption out of 10

Задумка очень интересная, много опций, есть иммерсивность. Но пока игра нестабильная и часто вылетает на некоторых квестах. Жду обновлений, не хочу рефандить. Ещё хотелось бы видеть базовое обучение механикам

Slightly lacks a tutorial/guidance as stated in the only negative english review I've seen, but if you can't figure out what's going on on your own, then this game is probably not for you given its nature. You assemble ships and program their components (usually bridge for movement and weapons for pew pew), with some rare interaction between components (for example, a missile tracker module which enables new sets of instructions for some weapons). You can unlock instruction sets by purchasing components that integrate them, and those instruction sets will be made available to all other components in the current and all future runs if you solve a specific challenge (that required digging through menus and exploring to find). I really like it and it's a relaxing break from a couple of big title FPS games I play. EDIT: the developer just added an in-game tutorial (a manual where you can read about game mechanics).

Positives: It is a programming game There is an actual combat as an ultimate test of your programs Programming language is interesting (assembly like), not quite at TIS100 level but makes you think Really nice and cohesive style (music + portraits + ships) Negatives I'm not a big fan of visual programming, it makes it more game-like, but is also harder once you want to do something complicated Overall if you like programming games, this is nice addition to your collection

Extremely deep and complex game, when you first start playing you think you understand the bounds of it, but it keeps unraveling new mechanics and layers. The ship's programming is one of the deepest I've ever seen in such games.

Space Rangers meets X-Com! Good old vibes, love it!

Есть сильное ощущение, будто бы запустил обрезанных по масштабам пиксельных Космических рейнджеров (блок действий на планете буквально оттуда). Игре очень не хватает проработанного обучения и ввода в курс дела по механу, различия между модулями кораблей на рынке почти не считываются, наёмникам невозможно задать какие-то приоритеты применения разного оружия, потому тактика тоже довольно топорная в формате "вот по этим стреляем, по этим нет". Назвать это полноценной игрой сложно.
