It is probably not even worth your time.. There is still no way to save the game or to reload it. You start the game, you play it for a while, and when you quit, you have to start from the beginning again (if you bother). If you want to play such a game, go ahead - I don't.Moreover, the game appears to be abandoned meanwhile - prove me wrong, developers!I wonder why the other reviewers didn't point out that saving and loading is impossible (did they?).. Much orbit sims into where you can explore the galaxy! TRUST ME!. very good game about space for few hours worth the pricegive it a try. idk what to do. Nope... I tried it and its a game that doesn't let you save.If it had that feature it would be ok... a little niche tho, a niche I like to support.But can't... Cool idea tho but updates are rare and feels like abandonware.. I've rewritten this review a few times. Each time, I'd go back to the game, thinking I should give it another chance before I asked for a refund. Each time my experience was worse than the last. The more I learned, the more I disliked what I saw.Then I realized that I've spent too much time both on this review and on the game. Time I'll never get back.It's simply a bad game. Move along; nothing to see here.Barely worthy of Early Access, let alone a full launch.There are some interesting ideas at play (which is why I bought it in the first place), but after playing nearly an hour, all I can think of is "that's an hour of my life I'll never get back".I wanted to like it, the concept is definitely interesting, but the execution is simply terrible. Tutorial barely worthy of the name, horrid combat, unresponsive UI. Just bad design overall.From someone who loves strategy and simulation games: stay away.I feel a game should grip you\/capture your attention straight from the beginning, and Project Tarvotan does the exact opposite of that. Maybe it gets better? Perhaps this would be my GOTY of 2015 if I gave it more of a chance, but I guess I'll never find out.Time to go ask for that refund.. How do I refund?. Fun space roguelike aimed at a niche audience.
