This is -one- weird game.
You play a pilot in a space war. And you blast stuff! But that’s not all, you also have to buy new units, upgrades to your weapons and armor, and you can choose between one of four pilots between levels. Oh yes, you have to use some strategy in this, because you can’t just run in there and blast everything. You retain full control of your pilot, and you can order your comrades to attack, defend, or run away. When you win, you gain money to do all the upgrading I mentioned. There’s a ton of levels in this game, but I’m not sure of how many because I quit after ten levels.
The game’s fun, but it gets boring after a while. Also, the game seems to have speed issues and graphical breakups depending on your configuration, so keep tinkering around the options until everything works.
