Punching space spiders is a pretty cool thing.

This is such a pretty game. The little bits are so cool. The game plays nicely too--the mechanisms for recovery are well done. It has enough subtlety for le gameur, while also rewarding those of us that like to roll dice and punch space spiders in the face.

Fast area control game that is easy to learn. Most people in my game group circles have burned out on Nexus Ops, but a great game to have in your collection.

This is a great game, period.
It also happens to be a fun, easy to learn and quite engaging game which is a blast to play and can serve as a great introduction to AT.
Just get it and play it, I've heard great things of the 2 vs 2.
Anyways, the secret missions add to the replayability and this just oozes theme, it's a game that's asking for a good fight, so go ahead and make it's day punk!

Love this game, but it's not something I always want to play. Maybe I'm a bit burnt out on it.

A quick, light, and easy wargame that is actually pretty balanced! INGENIOUS!!!
The pieces are certainly cool and nice to look at, though the box is a bit overly-yellow. The modular board is very nice, colorful, and cartoony. The game scales well for any number of players; the staggered starting income is a great balancing mechanism, and all the exploration tiles are roughly equal in value. I use blue acrylic crystals for rubium, which add a Starcraft-esque coolness to the game. The game is simple and easy, moves fast, and looks and feels way cool! Also, the pieces have a distinct alien-odor that just adds to the theme!
But, for some reason, I just don't feel like playing it very much. Since the object of the game is simply to win a bunch of battles, every game feels kind of the same. I still love the game and think it's great, but it's not my first choice, anymore.
