Correction: it isn't one-shotting, but still does heavy damage for something that you can miss seeing among the harmless background asteroids.

The asteroid field levels have the problem that there're background asteroids that won't do anything to you and foreground ones that'll hurt you if you hit them, and it's not always the easiest thing telling them apart. Not only that, the larger ones can apparently one-shot you. So it's possible to die suddenly in those levels.

Moving DOWN and RIGHT at the same time doesn't work. Moving diagonally in any other direction does work however. Please fix this. Also, seconding what omnivar said about adding a coolant upgrade. It's definitely needed, not sure why he was voted down for that...

Nice game but there are parts of the world such as whole Europe that don't use QWERTY keyboard. On German QWERTZ and French AZERTY Z is not near X and C.

um, is the special attack supposed to knock out your shields for the rest of the mission? cause that makes it pretty worthless

Why, oh why, when I have the ultimate fighter, does my gorram fighter feel like I'm shooting spitballs out of a craft made of wet cardboard?

I really enjoyed this game. It was well-designed, although a few wrinkles exist. I think the series has good promise. Even the story is noteworthy (albeit a little cliche).

enemy shields are nearly invincible, enemy ships can phase through asteroids you can't. these are 2 game mechanics that detract heavily from game play. 3/5 overall

Do something about the movement controls rejecting my authority and this is a keeper. Also, I would sugest the missile button to be v instead of x.

Don't give in to whining about overheating - this is what makes this game different, and overall good. Still, needs sound control.

Good game but you need to put in a coolant upgrade or something, by the time I had level 4 or 5 blasters (about the third level) I was spending so much time on cooldown that I couldn't actually fire enough shots to kill the enemy with any reliability.

Do the first level 2-3 times since it gives way more $$$ than the next few levels. That will get the ship in decent fighting shape and then you can go dominate.

i cannot remember when ive enjoy so much a game of this type. very good graphics, story, gameplay and the upgrade system its relly well done. in my personal opinion the special attack is not necesary and let you totally unprotected with a minimun benefit, but its as i see that only. I hope see the sequel soon!!! thanks and congrats!!!

I sided with the girl. I "refused my final mission" by quitting the game. Not cool throwing her under the bus like that, I liked her. And I wanted to punch Quaid in his ugly face. Not cool taking her out and making me work for him, I refused to do it. I won't be finishing this game now, and I look forward to the idea of Quaid getting blown to hell without me.

Also, coolant upgrades are pretty damn pointless if you have to wait too long before the next wave of enemies... It would be better with a timer to see how long a powerup remains, and how long your buffs remains..

Pretty fun except for two things: the text sound is fairly annoying, and the dialog; some times you just don't want to click 10x through a screen. So: 1) Way to mute the dialog sound fx' and/or 2) 'Turn off RP mode (no dialog at all)'.

you should reward more crystals on the late missions, I am stuck and the progression back there really sucks, compared to "farming" an older mission, and frankly, going back to farm a mission sucks... Also make it quicker to retry a map!.

Gave it 1 star the controls are sluggish, even at max engines the enemies move way faster than you can, the weapons are terrible, and the over heating OMG the overheating.

Contrary to popular opinion, I liked the keyboard only controls, which gave it a pretty retro feel to it; I liked the difficulty level, which was actually pretty tough at times, and I liked the weapon cooldown system as a means to stop simply spamming shots at everything, I actually had to tactically use my missiles for the heavy situations. The fact you can freely change your build is another, frequently overlooked, perk. I also liked the plot - though it was a little predictable, the art was nice and it felt pretty decently polished. This all said, I do agree that upgrades need to incorporate a tractor beam for crystals, a coolant upgrade would be nice, and other weapon systems that weren't just ammo-based power ups are areas to improve on in the sequel, which I'm looking forward to.

Well, I'm pretty sure we all saw that one coming. Good game, waiting for the second one. Maybe next time make the bad guy not so obvious? Also is it just me or do all imperial officers carry the idiot ball?

Great game, but 3/5
- Quite stupid story and waste much of time on it, spend more time for story to shoot the ships.
- Too less enemy on game
- Unbalance on earning crystal
