Fly through successive shooter levels, firing on alien fighters and giant starships while avoiding enemy attacks and environmental hazards. The routes include planetary orbits, underground tunnels, and infested military bases.
Combat progress lets you rise in rank and upgrade your ship's weapons and defenses. You can replay levels to earn medals, with achievements and leaderboards offering additional goals.

Some also appreciate developing their ship and replaying levels for medals and better scores. Other reviewers find the combat repetitive or shallow, and some describe bosses or hazards as frustrating.
