The review is low because of the following: 1) Player is often vastly out numbered 2) May go entire mission without ever destroying enemy shields, much less destroy a ship a. once had three ships attacking one enemy, never lowered shield, never destroyed ship, lost entire fleet 3) Despite technology advancing in the game ship never seems to do more damage or resist more damage 4) Resources used in upgrading ship in one mission may be lost as the game may apply old tech back to the ship on the next mission 5) No explanation whatsoever for the experience point gains for main character - bonuses seemingly never work 6) Poor tutorial Good Notes: Beautiful Graphics
