So much depth that you can never really get to it all, but the core game loop works incredibly well. You don't need to dig into the complexity at first at any rate.

This is THE space simulation par excellence.

Chill, relaxing game for when you need that. Grab a glass of wine and clean out the trash.

Fun game, albeit somewhat unfinished. Very difficult community, however, and still too grindy in parts. Will hopefully revisit in the future and revise this review if appropriate.

Feels like an adolescent's weird fantasy. Writing and art both are kinda whack. Couldn't stomach it.

Good:
- Fantastic concept. I love air strategy games, and of course the Battle of Britain is iconic in the best sense of that word.
- Art style. Appealing without distracting from the core of the game.

Bad:
- Difficulty. You can't have multiple squadrons team up, and sending in 8 fighters against 16 heavy bombers with 8 fighters escorting them will only result in sadness.
- AI. You must micromanage your pilots for them to have any real chance. And given the difficulty already mentioned, this just leads to frustration.
- Spelling. I know it seems like a small thing, but when even the simplest words are misspelled (and so frequently), it becomes very distracting. (Seriously, couldn't they import the localisation strings into a Google Doc and used spell check?)
- Music. Just turn it off and listen to your own epic music mix.

I've spent lots of time in this game and, while the UX leaves a lot to be desired, the depth of gameplay makes it worth your time. Although after I play for a bit, I feel guilty about not simply opening my IDE and getting to work on a "real" game...
