Beyond Space is a cutting-edge 3D space shooter game that immerses players in the darkest plots in a similar vein to the best Space Operas.
Scores of planetary systems, nebulas and asteroid fields to explore. Fully detailed 3D Graphics, mesmerizing, beautifully painted spacescapes, spectacular special effects, and rendered glows, lights, sun flares and reflections.
All of which intensified with an ambient yet dynamic soundtrack and great sound effects.

I consider myself a flight/space sim enthusiast. This might be the bottom of the barrel of what I've ever played.
I'm guessing that they used Freespace or Starlancer as a point of reference while developing this. The game is mission based dogfighting.
The good (there's not much): Visuals are pretty good for a budget game. More than passable. I didn't...
I've given this game a positive review, despite some very clear issues.
When I first bought the game, it's controller support was non-existent. About a month later, they updated. Since I could finally play with my gamepad, I decided to try it. About four missions in, the game suffers from an obnoxious turret scene which was not balanced or fun and terrible...
