So im going to start by stating i am probably going to counter several other reviews, Do i care? not really, and yes i did read several before getting the game.

This game is a game thats ment to be completed 100% There is alot there as the game is ment to be replayed atleast 6 times, (thats right multiple endings) I personally found plenty of story their for this short game that explained several mechanics that out right confused me as to why they existed i would love to spell it out for every one but to do that would spoil the very last ending which is well worth getting your self.

The game is very FreeSpace like but instead of managing every ship that you will fly with you give them an overall lay out, this allows you to jump from one ship to another with out having to stop and check your weapons to see which style you will be playing.

EVERY THING CAN DIE! Thats right, if you are good enough at the game you can kill literally every thing, including your own ships or that big bad boss that shows up at the end of every level. It honistly shocked me to look at the global stats of the game to see that very few people managed to do such a thing when its so easy once you have the right formula.

Pilot or tactical view? I played both, there are some instances like a bombing run that its better for the player to do it instead of the AI as unguided bombs are certaintly not a robots strength. There are also time were keeping your eyes on every thing will help you catch those kamakazi fighters that are about to slam into your capital class ships. Sure there are perks to doing it one way or the other and i certaintly did not use the tatical as much as i could. But based off of others i have seen play this game, i used it more to keep a check on my surroundings so i knew what was happening.

Fighters only? Yes! Why? its explained in the story, for me to tell you would simply ruin it. I personally believe the game would of been ruined had they permitted you to fly the capitals. The AI is not overly dumb, some time it screws up but look at it this way your human. you screw up just as bad or worse some times.

You can be a kamakazi fighter. 3 words. THIS IS GLORIOUS! I have not had alot of fun with deaths, even in games where death will push you on, i hate it. But i have never felt so satisfied when i died, simply removing a road block with that one options makes it great, i dont need to live to win the game. Oh, and escape pods wont kill you if you decide to cleave through them in your ship, it was pretty funny.

All in all this is a great game to me;
Would i recomend it for the impatient? No.
Would i recomend it for the easily angered? No.
Would i recomend it for those who do not posses higher thought? No.

How ever if you dont meet those three no's then by all means get it! (when its on sale or something :P)
I personally got it on sale for 12 USD My rule of thumb is if i spend an hour per a USD and meet or exceed that the game is potentially good and considering i have almost exceeded that end completed every achivement i find it well worth the buy.

Now for some of the negitives comments/tips to be aware of that i have read,

This game is unbeatable - This game is a bit of a puzzle game. The wrong upgrades WILL GET YOU KILLED. There is no way around it, you have to be flexible to play the game correctly.

Some weapons will one - two shot kill you - Learn to dodge. there is nothing more to it.

You can not be every where at once - This is a lie, use tatical. every fighter is you, you can be in all of them at any point in time.

There is nothing more then three difficulty levels - actually there are four. and each one changes how the game plays almost entirely. cant go guns blazing when every thing is designed to kill you at certaint ranges.

Last note from me, 10/10 would complete again.

Thanks!
