About This Game

Once the colonists reached their destination, they found themselves in the middle of an intergalactic conflict.

Not Recommended

I used to play this game a lot as a kid and I was so happy to find it on Steam because it felt like a hidden gem. Unfortunately, I can't give this game am positive review because just getting it to work properly has been like pulling teeth. The game constantly crashes and freezes up my whole PC where I have to restart it because I can't access the task manager. You're forced to play the game at the lowest resolution in full screen, because non of the other resolutions work (including the windowed resolutions). I was able to complete the first level of the campaign, but after that it just stays on the "Mission Accomplished" screen and doesn't progress any further. It's a shame because this is a pretty solid RTS and I would recommend trying it out if it could actually run without these issues. I really hope that they're able to fix these problems, but the game isn't that well-known so I can't really have high hopes for that ever happening.
