Help defend the colonies from an onslaught of enemy starships.
You'll need to at least beat normal mode to understand the theme.
Difficulty ramps up quickly in Story Mode+ and Story Mode++.
I suggest playing the full 2x version, but if you are on a smaller resolution, you can play the Halfsize 1x version.

I'd call eradicating the last remaining humans from the planet earth as villainous from the human's point of view.
Most logical villains won't appear to be the bad guy from their point of view. But if you're on a ship carrying the last remaining humans, and are attempting to hail the first signs of life you approach to get resources, and they end up killing you... Wouldn't you think they were the bad guy?
I'll leave it up to you to interpret it as you like. :)
I kinda sucked so there was a lot of grind to upgrade my ship, but I really liked message you conveyed, here. Bravo!
Nice game, like the tons of abilities to upgrade. Quite challenging, too.
