As soon as I installed it and the patching completed, it crashed to desktop, ugh! I started it again and it worked flawlessly from that point on. It’s pretty fun too, quite similar to the old Dreamcast game, but less twitchy on the gameplay.

You right click to move around and attacks are automatic when an enemy is in range. As you gain levels you earn skill points which you can use to boost your attacks and eventually upgrade your ship. New weapons & attacks can be turned on and off, so if you’re low on energy you can turn some things down to conserve some power for heals if needed.

Considering this game is still in Alpha testing, it’s running really well, and there’s quite a bit to explore so far.

Download is finished, I’m off to test ‘er out!
