Positives: Just played a few minutes of this, but I'm pretty impressed. It draws you into the plot right away. Controls are easy to understand and use. (disable mouse/joystick in the in-game config). If you're looking for an alternative to the immortal Star Control II (Ur-Quan Masters) this is one to try.

DosBox Issues: Might need a custom mapper.txt for N810 users.
Not for those with low self esteem. The game begins with an alien insulting you.
"KAA! The rumors are to be believed. The ugliness of you puny beings is more than repulsive. I needed to see for myself before leaving this system what your race looks like. Now I know. You are disgusting."

Overall game rating: 4 stars out of 5

(edit) This is available as an online download with the awesome new rubybox frontend. If you ain't usin rubybox yet, you are missing out!
