Man, indie or not, those graphics look about 25 years old  :P

Yeah, the planet graphics and uI graphics are decent. The battles...not so much

I think the alien races are pretty meh.....I can remember when graphics didn't matter to me, but now they do.

Anyone actually play this?  I've been hovering over the "purchase" button the last couple of days.

Bearing in mind it's been some time since I played Horizon, I would probably wait a bit yet, tgb.  It includes some promising gameplay mechanics, but it's still in an alpha state (if I'm not mistaken), and is there fore pretty raw at the moment.

You know gameleaper, I've wondered how your game WarTactical would work as a sort of Star Fleet Battles like game.  ;)
