[h1]Pros[/h1] [list] [*]Pretty neat gameplay mechanics – [b]more of an orbital shooter/RTS than a tower defense though, so just be aware[/b] [*]Diverse…Due to its enormous amount of possible gamestyles and fantastic reward and upgrade systems the game offers a lot of replayability.This game focuses heavily on resource management and plays more like a hybrid shooter/tower defense.Like most of the times the mouse would move to another place instead of where I was moving the mouse.Why it fits
