Fantastic game let down by some weird choices

If you're a fan of turn based strategy or Battlestar Galactica, this is a must. The devs certainly put a lot of effort into making this a believable experience set in the BSG universe. Everything from stellar sound effects and music to BSG style combat camera AI. It all works great. The bulk of the game is in setting up your ships actions before executing them. A simple mis-calculation can end in disaster.

With the exception of one poorly acted, over the top character, all the cast do a great job. The music is exceptional, so much so there is a great interest in buying the music from the fans but Slitherin, the publisher, does not seem interested in releasing even a digital version.

As good as this game is, the devs made some questionable choices which the community is understandably frustrated by.

1. The inability to turn off certain option such as the nebula's, which appeared in a later patch. These can make the strategy sections extremely difficult to make out what is going on and are not required in an already busy environment. 2. The inability to increase the fleet cap which is set to a maximum of 8 ships, one of which is a repair ship. 3. The very restricted options menu, which as stated does not allow for the removal of aspects of the game like nebulas, mines or special weapons. 4. With a relativity early patch came the AI/graphics error were enemy ships could oddly slope off at weird angles and at high speed without obeying the laws of motion. Acting more alike a ships from Startrek than a ship under thruster power in BSG.

Given the relative ease at which these issues could be addressed, it is difficult to understand why an otherwise near perfect game is left with bugs and restrictions that clutter the screen and take the player out of the immersive gameplay.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The adventure genre features exciting journeys, quests, or expeditions undertaken by characters who often face challenges, obstacles, and risks in pursuit of a goal. Adventures can take place in a wide range of settings, from exotic and fantastical locations to historical or even everyday environments.

The sci-fi genre, short for science fiction, features imaginative and futuristic concepts that are often rooted in scientific principles, technology, and possibilities. These stories delve into "what if" questions and can serve as a platform to address contemporary social, political, and ethical issues by projecting them onto future or alternate settings.
