What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Overall, I highly recommend it because the gameplay is fun and relatively easy to pick up but complex enough to give a great amount of depth, the replay value is immense due to the sheer number of races, race options, ship weapons, technology choices, and galaxy settings that are available to you, and the graphics look surprisingly good even by today's standards.

However, the 2D art retains a certain charm, and the interface, though old-fashioned, is surprisingly intuitive for such a complex game.
It is incredibly fun and enjoyable as a single-player game and is perhaps even moreso when played multiplayer but unfortunately I have no experience with that.
- The soundtrack is superb since it doesn't wear on you and become irritating over time;
- The story is simplistic and I'd argue that the over-arching narrative revolves around how you decide to conquer the galaxy and win the game; and
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
