   Don't get your hopes up, it is not a new Homeworld!

   What you will get is a space themed RTS with unit building, light resource management (think CoH) and the ability to upgrade your mothership only between missions.
   
   The Campaign is a two edged sword, very difficult with seemingly impossible situations but also very rewarding if you manage to work your way through.
   
   The biggest disappointment for me was the lack of a skirmish mode. Well there is a menu button which is called "Skirmish" but behind that are just 3 maps with missions attached to it, like a horde mode for example.
   
   Pros:
   +nice graphics
   +nice sound
   +difficult campaign
   +small but interesting map design
   
   Cons:
   -no skirmish mode
   -not very innovative/deep mechanics
   -pathfinding is a bit edgy… Expand

   A 2014 game that is far more simplistic than game released in 1999.

   Im angry!!!This game is not just unpolished, its not ready to be published.Many minor bugs, many major bugs and some game-stopping-bugs areIm angry!!!This game is not just unpolished, its not ready to be published.Many minor bugs, many major bugs and some game-stopping-bugs are still present.Even the tutorial is bugged for some players(use google), they cant advance in the cmpaign beyond the tutorial.Some(like me) are stuck in the second mission.Great work!!
   
   Visuals:The game looks great.The design of the ships is kinda refreshing.Thats the strongpoint of the game i think.
   
   Sound:The voiceacting is ok.The developer claims this monotone, emotioneless talking in the game is intentional.If this is true, i dont know about that decision.While this is ok between the mission and in the briefing, its not right in the mission.When you lose something important and nobody seems to care its not that engaging.What i miss are great weaponsounds and a good music.Everything is average or slightly below.
   
   Gameplay:A real shame is that there is not much tactical depth in the game.You click something, it explodes, or not.There is a system in the game that needs you to match up your units strengths with the enemys ships.Bomber vs. larger ships and so on.Thats all.Some units got one or more abilitys, but all in all thats not realy deep when it comes to tactic.Between missions you can upgrade your units, but here too, its too shallow.+1 armor for my fighters, who cares about that?They die in an instant anyway.
   
   Conclusion:Maybe that game is better later in the game.But i cant play the game thx to a bug in mission 2(and im not the only one).So, i can only review what ive seen up to that point.And what ive seen is visually beautiful, but thats just the outer shell.There is not much inside i think.I will not update my review when they decide to fix the game cause ill be busy with other games i think.Too bad, you lost a customer for good.I will buy no products from this company again.… Expand
