Developer who exclusively listens to a gaggle of inner circle hypercompetitive superfans while gaslighting other players into accepting godawful balance changes with "you'll like it" or "you don't know what it is that you want actually".

Cancelled campaign mode because a certain circle of loud hyperoptimizers couldn't make meta fleets, who then proceeded to complain loudly about this, then stated that the campaign mode had always been bad despite a year+ worth of devlogs stating it was coming along swimmingly. Game has no real direction and is just floundering with a tiny multiplayer scene filled with hyperoptimized meta fleets. The general conensus from the developer is "don't like it? too bad so sad, this is a competitive skirmish game."

In addition, the game provides zero guidance about actually creating a fleet. The designer isn't as deep as it would like you to believe, and the game's balance is more or less rock paper scissors in space. It is a solved game and if you weren't onboard from the start, you won't be finding anything new, you'll just be a few steps behind the leading minds in removing all fun and creativity from the combat.

Lame, very sad, play Aurora 4x instead.

I can not recommend this game if you are looking for a interesting fleet-battle simulator.

Despite what people replying to other negative reviews say, the promised PvE campaign was dropped and will most likely not come back.
The game was promised as a PvE/PvP game, with PvE getting a strategic campaign overlay to make the battles you fight vs AI count for something.

There is no such thing, and the developers focus on the PvP, which still just consists of 3v3 Player single matches.


A lot of the game is pretty good, from the design to UI to the actual ship-building and configuring your fleet, customizing your missiles, strikecraft and all.

But it is a PvP only game at this point.

Populated by people who figured out the very best meta-fits to beat other people, who have so much experience fighting on the same maps (because there´s not a lot of maps you will see matches being played on), and its just a tiresome realistically frustrating battle simulator at this point in time.


TL;DR :

PvE is dropped and wont come back, development (or better said: Balancing around the 'commentary' from the embedded PvP community) is focused only on PvP

If you think you´d like that, go ahead.
If you prefer PvE, do not bother with this game.

good game
