“Absurdly difficult. Beautiful graphics and sound, but just not worth it, there is no QoL, it is the "souls like" of fake 4x. It is severely punishing for basically being a choose your own adventure story.”

“Interesting story, beautiful graphics, and a game type that I enjoy. Unfortunately, the micromanagement is beyond ludicrous. Why is my raw iron sitting in the docking bay because I don't have storage for it? Oh, my storage is full of it…”
