Really fun space shooter. The glimpses of plot are so interesting I wish this game had a sequel. As it is, it's as close a replacement to Wing Commander, which I loved in the 90s, as much as I can get these days ;_;

I've had this in my library for 8 years. I finally got around to playing it. DO NOT pay full price for this game. It's short, quite shallow and the overall experience is pretty light on in terms of engagement. HOWEVER. I did still find myself having fun. I LOVE the art style and hints at lore. The dogfights, while not complex are still quite fun and I enjoyed testing out new weapons as I unlocked them. Buy it, but only on sale! A$29 is a bit steep for this.

A short space shooter game that doesn't overstay its welcome. Said game offers higher difficulty for completed missions and has multiple endings. I'd recommend it.

Great VR battle experience. You actually get a small fleet and have multi ship engagements thats more than just a bunch of people chasing you that most space fighters do.

Possibly the best space combat game I've ever played. The story is dark but fascinating and combines beautifully with the Dune-like atmosphere and brutal gameplay. Nothing feels cooler than hitting the enemy hard and fast (while drifting!), then warping out as the enemy flagship warps in. "YOU ARE OUTGUNNED." Not for long. Play in VR for an even cooler experience!
