Steam review snapshots
The atmosphere, aesthetic and combat are done really well, but this seems to be yet another one of those indie titles that…It's best played with a gamepad, not keyboard, and with a VR headset.Initially flagships act as a soft timer on the game; after a set amount of time in a mission a flagship spawns…More lore, more galaxy to explore etc.Why it fits
Check it if you want action, simulation filtered by weird, single-player.
