Azrael Strife Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Ugh, I think I'll just skip to the sequel, if there is going to be any, this game was enough of a chore to get through to buy more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'll wait for that 75% discount. I'm glad this turned out to be an expansion and not some rushed TFTD, though I was hoping for more changes to strategic part, like interceptors being able to fly to their fuel limit. And using two at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
