   First impressions of TLF are:
   
   Great music (their best yet, possibly)
   
   Cool graphics (2d but perfectly suited to the game)
   
   Combat is incredibly unique, simple to get started but has the potential to become quite complex later on
   
   Frighteningly complex simulation underneath the hood--easily mitigated by a tutorial-esque approach (that is skippable later) and lots of useful optional data reports
   
   Feels like I'm caught in the middle of a Star Trek-like political situation in the middle of mostly uncharted space. Lots of political scheming behind the scenes and brazen destruction and capture of various factions' resources and such."… Expand

   A deeply fun mix of nonetheless complementary genres (a tactical combat SHMUP provides the combat engine for a grand strategy 4X taking placeA deeply fun mix of nonetheless complementary genres (a tactical combat SHMUP provides the combat engine for a grand strategy 4X taking place in a simulated solar system of great depth) this game really breathes new life into the 4X genre - something I failed to see happen for me since MoO2.
   
   The setup is original (you are a single mercenary pulling the strings behind the scenes to unite the system - instead of being one of the planetary powers of the solar system), the eight races feel fresh (there is everything from insectoid killers to communist barn owls and capitalist robots) and the combat model is just an ingenious creation that I am fairly sure has not been done before - ever.
   
   Oh, and you are the last of a race of four-headed hydra dictators. What more is there to want? If you are into 4X games at all - go get it. You will not regret it!… Expand

The game developers response to these complaints is always the same: we have no plans to fix this so change your resolution. I don't know about you but I'm in the over 90% of players that use an LCD monitor. Changing to a non-native resolution makes it blurry and in my case it also stretched the graphics out of aspect. Only consider this game if you are playing on a very old monitor or a laptop.… Expand
