In-game
« Nice survivor-like. The space twist is refreshing, the design are cool and the inerty of those juggernauts is great. Loads of weapons to test, nice skill tree and already 3 difficulty levels. Hopefully more to come. »👍 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 17 h played« One of the best games of the year, absolutely perfect... congrats dude. You made the game I always wanted too. »👍 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 100 h played« Another soft recommend. It's fun for a few hours, and I dig the art direction, but the controls are a little rough and you've mostly seen it all after a few runs and have tried out the main ship types. »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 6 h played« Good start. But needs a lot more sectors, enemies, bosses and balancing. Score: 6/10. Better wait for a 1.0 release. »👍 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 36 h played« fun capital ship bullet heaven if you like sci-fi / dreadnoughts don't play with WASD movement, this game is wayyy better played the "boat-like" way »👍 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 37 h played« Fine game to kill some time. Suffers from pretty much all of the same problems as other games in this genre (If you know, you know). So don't expect a ton of play time out of it. »👍 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 8 h played
« rare sont mes critiques négatives mais là franchement beaucoup trop de bug/quasi injouable à la manette bref à éviter ! »👎 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 1 h played« One run lets you know exactly what this game is: underwhelming and half baked. All the systems are ripped wholecloth from better games in the genre, and it just leaves you feeling like you should be playing one of those games instead. »👎 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 0 h played« nothing makes me invoke a refund faster than Unreal Engine hard crashes in the first hour of play.. »👎 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 1 h played« This game is really fun. However, you have to avoid some ship upgrades as they tend to tank the game to the point of running out of memory or just plain crashing. »👎 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 72 h played« Nice looking, and looks like an interesting build variety and progression, but I found the controls and the zero-gravity perspective impossible to master. It's probably a good game, just not for me. Refunded. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 0 h played« Spaceships are PEAK! And this game is easy to play and learn, has a fun difficuly curve, looking forward to whats next! »👍 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 14 h played
