By the time I thought that the game definitely had potential, so I included it in our \u201c<a  href=\"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/2013\/01\/a-list-of-sci-fispace-games-you-cant-miss-in-2013\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sci-Fi\/Space Games You Can\u2019t Miss in 2013<\/a>\u201d list. A more simple approach, which is not necessarily a bad thing. A very playable but still very unpolished game. I definitely felt a good vibe from classic 4X titles, chiefly from its interesting turn-based tactical combat system, a rare feature to find these days.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding past backers, Arkavi Studios says in <a  href=\"http:\/\/arkavistudios.com\/community\/index.php?topic=522.0\" target=\"_blank\">their forums<\/a> that &#8220;all the (Steam) keys have been sent&#8221; to all Early Backers, and that if you pre-ordered the game in the past and didn&#8217;t get yours you just need to <a  href=\"mailto:contact@arkavistudios.com\" target=\"_blank\">shoot them an email<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Expect a first impressions piece on this Steam&#8217;s alpha build soon.
