The title says it all. There is a deliciously deep space exploration and combat game but it is buried under so many layers of terminal misfortune and disastrous blind choices that you spend more time losing than learning. I love challenge but a more even progression of challenges would have made this game perfect. Instead you have to play through hoping not to discover impossible encounters or simply miss the chance to gain the necessary items for missions. I would have loved this but unfortunately it's hard to keep playing when there are far more balanced and enjoyable strategy games out there. I'd say pass on this one.
