Refunding since this game has always online DRM and doesn't specify it anywhere on the store page. Scummy tactics like this should not be allowed on Steam.

[b]Dev has been upgrading this, and taking in a lot of feedback from the community. I'll update my review later on, but I wholeheartedly recommend this.[/b] An ok space shooter, I wouldn't call it a "spacesim", though. (Read bellow) On the plus side, you got tight controls, amazing space battles and good sound and voice acting. Also de skirmish mode (that supports LAN multiplayer) gives this game another half point (would be a full point if it had online multiplayer). On the down side, you can only pilot one ship (even in skirmish mode, which means players can only play one side out of three), graphics are Ok but not terrific (explosions are great though), and it feels a little underpolished. Your space fighter "feels" more like a plane than a spacecraft, it moves all the time forward and it only has 3 speeds, slow, normal and boost. Another down for me is that you don't control the roll, just the pitch, so your fighter will go back to a "horizontal" position, sometimes messing you...

Word soup. Don't want it? There's more reviews. I wasn't really planning to review the game this early without an impression of the entire campaign, but I figured by mission 4 I've seen enough to say all that's necessary. If anything stands out later, I'll post it here. I may produce a basic gameplay guide (as that is a bit lacking, although to be fair, the game is quite self explanatory) and a suggestions/questions thread for the forum. For now, the review. I don't really like the recommendation system because what I recommend a game depends greatly on the person I'm recommending it to, and what they want - and that is completely different for different folks. Yes, yes, I'm getting to the point. This review is in blue because I don't feel the money was a waste, although I could see why people would want something more for $12. On its own merits it is a fairly simple game with, as mentioned in other reviews, arcade like mechanics that dispel any claim of being an actual simulator. St...

I wish it had been made clearer that this game is keyboard and joystick only. Mouse is not supported.

This is a fun game.. In a lot of ways it reminds me of Freespace, not fully, but in a lot of ways. The Joystick controls work great, there is no HOTAS support though, but there are not that many buttons anyways, so you can just use a Joystick only and bind everything to the joystick. The flight model reminds me a lot of the Freespace flight model, which makes for some cool space combat action and maneuvers. The voice acting is great, espesially for being an indie game. There is some realism to it, like it feels like radio chatter, not clean but realistic, I really can't explain it very well, but the audio is fantastic. The explosions in this game are very satisfying, and you will see a lot of explosions, but on fighter ships and the carriers/frigate/battleship type ships. The lighting is really good, you'll see the lighting take effect on your cockpit, really brings the immersion of the game. The missions are really fun and every mission is different. Plus the game is challenging....

This game is in the style of the Old T-Fighter and X-Wing star Wars Games ! This is my king of game ! LOVE IT !

A super fun space fighter pilot game Pros Runs on just about any system Massive space battles Upgrade system (a bit bear at the moment but should be getting updates) Campaign (missions are nearly all different) Lan multiplayer Great retro style Leaderboard Great voice acting Active developer Cons No online multiplayer Controls are a bit wonky at times (but this should change) A bit pricey I think that this game is amazing and will get even better the longer into its development cycle

This game is awesome. There is only one teeny, tiny problem with it - there's just not enough of it!

It's fun. Buy it already.

Super fun game, simple and enjoyable... I haven't even touched the campaign yet due to the awesome battle maker. Kind of reminds me of the combat from X-3 AP. If you haven't yet and you enjoy space sims shooters like Freespace or Xwing... give it a go!
