Steam review snapshots
You form your squads to explore planets.It means you can leave it to idle to farm without having to do anything, but if you want to do any…However with the above said, you unlock ship launch automation after clearing the world 4 boss which took me about 2 hours…You can interact with the environment, there are contracts, bosses, etc.Why it fits
Check it if you want casual, free to play filtered by single-player.
