Gearing up is kinda fun for a few sectors. Other than that, there's just not enough meat on the bones and too many balance issues to recommend it.. The developers forgot to include a tutorial. So, we get an instructional slideshow, accessible from the main menu, instead.. Cool concept but terrible execution. It took me forever to figure out how to level up and I never really felt like I understood what I was doing.. I have no idea what I'm doing here. Controls are wonky, and the "Instructions" is just a crappy slideshow that does not really explain anything. I have yet to beat the opening mission, because nothing is explained well AT ALL. I don't want or need my hand held... but for something as complex as this, the systems need to EITHER be intuitive or at the very least, well explained. Here they are neither.Full disclosure, MOST of my playtime is from leaving the game idle overnight to card farm... but the time I have put in has really gotten me no closer to understanding the game or its mechanics. And, as far as the card-farming goes, I only got 3 copies of the SAME card and doubt I'll be able to break even on my 15 cent investment. So... not really worth it from the "Steam Economics 101" standpoint, either.I'll probably give this one another try sometime down the line, and if it gets the SIGNIFICANT polish it NEEDS, I'll change this review. For now, though, I really can't recommend this.. Boring game.. why is this on steam?. First game review I've ever written on steam:I reccomend this game. For 50 cents, it is a nice game. The UI isn't great, but for 50 cents I'm impressed if it doesn't crash!A pros vs cons list doesn't seem to fit, but here are some perks.- Cheap- Simple to learn- Decent little story line, similar to Star Trek Voyager- Customizable ship- Simple, yet broad tech treeAll in all, much more value than I was expecting for 50 cents.. I admit, I bought it initially for the cards.But it is actually kinda fun. Requires more thought than you would think a 99 cent game would require. I am about 8 hours in and nearly done with everything, but for 99 cents that is worth it. I'd recommend it.. Well game seems to have potential and looks quite interesting (especially for the price it asks 0,15 cents), but the problem is that it lacks polishing and at some points it's horribly unbalanced.
