SPAZ is a look back toward what we consider the golden age of gaming where games like Star Control, Mechwarrior, and XCom ruled, but with a modern twist.

Simply an amazing game for people who like this sort of thing, even as a beta.
Ultimately it feels a lot like the Star Control games, but is far more polished and with greater complexity with when it comes to the gameplay. The story of course is not like Star Control, but it nevertheless has a goal and the light sprinkle of humour is very enjoyable.
I would tell anyone just to try the demo and you'll be convinced, well worth buying for the reduced price whilst in beta too.
