    This is one of those hard to classify game. Its defiantly and indie game. Its got a lot of ideas and concepts that are fun, but can be janky. You build a ship, explore planets and gather resources. Mange your crew like an RPG game and builder game. But the have intense FPS shooter segments in FPS mode and with some tower defense elements. It is worth checking out just to see the ambition here.

    Average space looter shooter FPS game. The game is average and has an indie game feel. But for the money, I guess it's okay to give a try

    I paid 5 dollars for this game. I have yet to play it, I might never play it. But it was just 5 dollars. So whether its good or bad, it only cost me 5 bucks.

    Deal of day item. Low cost shooter game that is worth playing. If you can get some fun out of a five dollar game then it’s an easy decision

    Decent strategy game. Definitely not the run of the mill type. A good break from all of the normal hum drum games. Good price

    Design management and first person shooter rogue-like game with other interesting elements mixed in. Game isn't the most intense action oriented game and might be only for a select few.

    Not bad but could have been a lot better

    Exploration is limited. Yes, there are a fair amount of universes and planets to explore but, once arriving on a planet you are limited to how far you can travel on the map. The color palette could have been a lot better. The game isn;t very pleasing to the site, Many dark shades of red, green and black both the planets and ship suffer from a more diverse look and feel. Not much in the way of customization. The planets lack life on them. The enemies that you do encounter tend to be the same handful over and over again. IThe idea of finding DNA to merge and create new crewmates is an interesting one, but one I would have liked to have seen been developed further. Adding new areas to your ship and building it out is fun and you are able to build large multileveled ships. This game could use multiplayer. Being able to meet other explorers and either trade or engage in combat would have been nice. At least a co-op experience would have been welcomed. Overall, this game has some nice aspects to it, but it definitely could be better. Maybe with a bigger budget, this game can be fleshed out. I would wait for a price drop and hopefully some DLC before diving into this one
