Universal Combat

"If you want to “get it,” you’ve got to be willing to pour the time into learning the nuances of the title; this isn’t a slap-and-dash affair that’ll be over in a dozen hours. You could literally spend months investigating the possibilities. Only serious space sim diehards need to suit up for this one."

"Universal Combat is a budget game, but it had an intense amount of hype surrounding it and I honestly expected it to be a lot better than it was."

"This wildly ambitious simulation is torpedoed by an almost incomprehensible interface, the absence of a tutorial, numerous bugs, and many fit and finish issues, including dated production values."

"The action orientation of Universal Combat has made it easier for new players to just start shooting while old time Battlecruiser fans will still enjoy the deep gameplay they want and expect."

"I would rather have explored a single, dynamic system or three, rather than piles of basically static ones that felt like they hadn't existed the moment before I arrived."
