It's a fun old school space sim. With about 70 min of game play I'm liking it, it was well worth the $15 I paid for it. A lot of nostalgia value, feeling like Freespace or Starlancer, on a $15 budget.

But, MY JOYSTICK IS NOT WORKING. I have an X-55 with a set of rudder pedals. The game defaults to using my rudder pedals as the input device - which, for reasons, leaves me spining in space. I'm sure that I can work around but using the whole HOTAS set up is out of the question right now.

That's not a deal breaker though. Although I am I proud HOTAS user that's not the way this game is meant to be played. The game plays more as a arcade then sim. But that's fun.

Bottom line: If you've played through the real old school space games then this is something fun to do.

Did the HOTAS thing ever get fixed?

It's Unreal 3.

Thank you for your quick responce stocks109. It would be very nice to play the game with a HOTAS set up, but I do wish to make clear that I had a lot of fun flying mouse and keyboard. Great work.

Anyones game time under 2hours could mean anything from cheating, to hacking, to using exploits to get what they wanted out of in a short time. before their frriends wanted them in another game, or they had family business to sort out, or had to be called on an emergency assasination to hush up some noisy crazy opening everyones eyes ^^

oh and is the hint for "unreal engine" for it being not unreal 2 or 3 or 4, but unreal 1 engine?

Hey, thanks for the positive review. We will be addressing the HOTAS issue ASAP.

Thank you for reviewing the non early access copy, but would you say that this game has much longevity? Nearly every review for the product has under 2 hours played.
