I swear to freaking god this game is just impossible. It's part strategy, part flight game, but mostly frustration. the game is basically all about trial and error. You start off with only 4 turns and that is the maximum number you can get. You will have to get more to survive. Before battle, you get to use the fog of war which lets you clear up only a tiny bit of the map. Your ships can only move a certain distance, so you use your stylus to trace the path you want it to go. Basically if you were unlucky with clearing the fog, you have to just go blind into the fog areas. If you do get into a battle, you have to manage your time and shields. It's really hard to hit the enemies, because they are just too fast. It's impossible to see if you are hitting the enemy when you are firing right behind the enemy. So I just fire repeatedly with the hope some of my shots are hitting it. I thought the aiming and ship movement to be very difficult especially when you're following a fast moving enemy. YOu have to turn quickly and it's hard to do. Sometimes the ship either goes too fast or too slow, or turning gets to be very annoying. it makes the ships hard to control.
The whole game is rigged and the odds of winning are small. You only have certain paths that you must take to win, so management is key. You have to manage the way you move your ships perfectly to get all the enemies or else you will lose. The time factor is another thing that makes it so difficult, because the time moves quick in each battle. Do it quick because everybody in your team shares the time alloted to you.
It's just another annoying thing to deal with. You will have to scramble to get more time, shields, and turns very frequently to survive, so your other ships can actually have time to battle.
SO you have to deal with a time limit in battle, shields, managing your map movement correctly, using your fog-clearer carefully and killing all the enemies with 4 turns maximum.
