It's good. The singleplayer is not much to speak of, although it's quite demanding for a that seems to be a casual one. The multiplayer on the other hand is where the fun is. Well worth the small price.

I only played the single player mode, cause let's say I wasn't interested in playing multiplayer. I hoped for a good experience. A thing that was lacking in Gratuitous Space Battles. Sadly the single player was horrible. The fact that you get 3-5 ships and you're expected to sink 30-40 enemies vessels is absurd. It's video gamey that I feel more like I'm playing some old Nintendo game or something.

Equipping your vessels with armaments is also bullshit. On top of the point limit you have an armament limit, which destroys all the fun. It's frustrating to see that I still have so much room but I can place for example only 4 auto turrets. And auto turrets are generally broken. I just equipped my interceptors with auto turrets not giving them anything else (like shields) and the sheer density of the barrage was high I could blow through almost any mission. Some missions were so stupid I only stood in one place destroying everything that came to me. It was the equivalent of conservation of ninjutsu. And after the mission I discovered I sunk 28 vessels with only some minor damage.

Probably the multiplayer section is better, but for a game that is advertised as a turn based "strategy" with a single player mode - It's shit.
