I've not really looked up any reviews, so I can't answer for what they say. Always 2 sides to bans anyways. All I know is I enjoyed it when I was playing it, just didn't stick with it due to no depth too it. Thought it would be worth sharing. After all, look at how much better STO got after PWE bought it up.
It's basically a 3rd person dogfighter that was built for mouse and keyboard. Kinda like War Thunder/World of Planes for PvP. From what I remember though you can keep respawning till the objective, whatever it is, is met for victory. The PvE is like queues in STO, somewhere around 5 people completing a mission. However when I played, it was really early so there was only 3 missions and 3-4 maps for PvP. You don't have a character, just like you don't on War Thunder. You can build your own ship layout as far as what type of guns you want, modules, etc. Just like War Thunder, it was tier based.
