Incredible game, looks deceptively like a title that could run on Android, but is extremely deep. Managing ship loadouts is deeper than in Battletech, but extremely explorative, since the loadout screen has a simulator to test everything out right away. If you don't like to control the top down combat yourself, you can just let the AI fly your ship and play it more like an RTS, it's very capable. Has excellent Mod support and additions like Varya's Sector and Nexerelin it becomes a fully fledged 4X game. This game is everything the disappointing AAA and A titles of the past years weren't, it's even better than the recent B titles/remakes of beloved franchises like Master of Orion remake, Battletech and Galatic Civilizations 3. Hard to imagine that it is the result of just two people slowly but steadily developing this over many years. Best $10 you can spend on a game if you like space strategy/top down action.
