The game is described as an RPG where you are the captain of a single ship traveling around a galaxy, populated by alien races and factions that are playing a 4X game. Factions will declare war on each other, sign treaties, and territories will constantly shift and change as the galaxy goes about their business, regardless- or because of- your intervention. Accept quests, negotiate with the various factions, and upgrade your ship with new weapons and components. You can even team up with a friend in online co-op.

Somewhere between Diablo and The Last Federation. Fly around killing generic pirates for a while, collect loot, and then eventually aid one of the factions. In the background, all the factions are playing a mini-4x game that you can influence by completing quests or just massacring the faction fleets. These factions research and improve where you can't, so picking the one making the parts you want for your ship is an interesting "specialization" choice with real ramifications and investment.
My main issues with it are it's ugly as orange piss and very stingy on bag space at the beginning. As such you have to push through the bad early game to start getting to the fun stuff. But once it clicks it's quite enjoyable!
