  Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition is a deeply satisfying game that takes all of the best elements from some of the greatest strategy games out there and combines them in unexpected and fantastic ways. It may not always be the easiest game to navigate, but the payoff is 100% worth it. The amount of depth and replayability here all but guarantees it’s a game you’ll want to keep on your phone or tablet for a long, long time.

  Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander is an addictive title that forces you to make tough decisions for the good of your starbase. While it may have some unwarranted difficulty spikes, it’s still a fun, quirky space RPG that you should give a try if you’re in the market for that sort of thing.

  So much attention to detail was poured into the game, with enough moving parts working together, that it feels like a sprawling epic rather than the indie title that its low-fi graphics might imply. Being a title loaded with humor, action and more than a small amount of reverence for its inspirations, Massive Damage’s title is one of the deepest indie titles to emerge this year.

  Halcyon 6 has tremendous promise, but tedious resource gathering, repetitive combat, and bugs hurt what is otherwise an ambitious and interesting space sim. I can't quite recommend it right now, but I'd check back in six months or so: It may well be on its way to being something truly special.

  All these small things which Halcyon 6 gets just right combine to make it an undeniably good mid-weight strategy game and all-around great game, period. It tempts players without ever trapping them completely, all the while surprising and rewarding those who explore its quirks. The dilemmas presented stay interesting, even after hours and hours of playtime.

  While Halcyon 6 doesn't do anything particularly new, its sci-fi strategy is very well executed.
