Empyrean Frontier

A good space strategy game with rts battles. Has two factions you can playthough as and many different ships and customization options for your mothership, and Interesting abilities on a few of the ships. One i particularily enjoy is the tractor beam which can either repel and attract enemy ships you can use these ships to either keep ships out of your range or to attract them to your broadside frigates, a really nice game mechanic and add strategic depth to the space combat. That's not all there though are many other ships but i dont want to spoil them for you :) However my favorite thing in the game is the easy fleet formation. There is a wonderfull hotkey that allows you to draw a formation for the selected ships to form the excact formatino you just drew so its very easy to create simple wedge or half circle formations for your fleets to move in. If you dont like your formation or encounter a new obstacle then simply draw a new formation its so elegant,simple, and yet adds so much depth because the formations really do matter for keeping your ships in range and firing on whatever they counter. One thing to note is the tutorial is very nice and explains the game well, …

Great game the Dev even keeps up on how the game is doing and its sad how rare that is

The concept looked good but the game kept crashing.

[strike]requires xbox frame work to be installed.[/strike] Apologies, I mistakenly had the impression that xna 4.0.0.0 was part of the xbox junk that I have meticulously uninstalled or disabled on my system.

I got the game for $4 and its almost worthy it... enough said.

I am not sure if it adds anything. Sorry if I am missing anything.
