What players say
73% of 2,686 reviews are positive
Players praise the slow, flexible pace, long-term planning, and coordinated team play. The most repeated current complaint is uneven Blue Star matchmaking against much higher-level opponents. Some longtime players also dislike the changes introduced by the Dark Nebula update.
