Surprisingly had a lot of fun with this game. I've always loved space rts games and was originally a bit turned down because this game played in a 2D planar battle map. However the movement system and how you can ram both friendly and the enemy is a pretty good trade off in the end.

The graphics, artworks, sounds, and gameplay is amazing for me. You can never had enough looking at ships exploded by torpedoes salvos or zapped to oblivion from afar. The ui and all the different controls and stances looks overwhelming at first, but once you get the hang of the basic and know where things are, it comes pretty natural.

And the game does allow you to give some of your ship liberty in engaging the enemy and there are some perimeter you can set on how you want them to engage, making it bearable to do massive battle. All you had to do is micro some skills, tools and abilities you might have like torpedoes, fighter squadron, bombs etc.

The campaign is pretty good as well, where you have to manage your systems and fleets deployment, also managing priorities because you cant sit idle developing and capturing systems all the time because there are pressing misions you gotta do before certain time.

Playing co-op campaign is also very fun since you can share control of the fleet with a friend.

I'd definitely recommend this game especially on sale, there's tons of content in the campaign alone and if you dont have enough there are some great mods that add tons more stuff. Tho beware this game is a bit unstable at times, crashed from time to time.
