TL;DR:
Lewd sci-fi with good models and animations. A lot of possible sex scenes. Good atmospheric music, interesting characters. Trans/Futa content (instant + for me). The story pacing is not good. This leads to overall 3.5/5 stars +trans/futa bonus = 4/5 stars.
Review for [v0.7 Extra].
This review is mostly easy for me to write, because most things go under POSITIVE, nothing under NEUTRAL, and just one thing under NEGATIVE, but that one thing is not a small one.
POSITIVE
-
The graphics. They are fantastic. Not fantastic as in "top of the line, greatest ever", but fantastic in the sense of a very creative sci-fi setting (see below). They are definitively on the better side, top 10% I'd say. Some room for improvement, yes, but I'll take them any day of the week. That goes for the renders as well as the animations. The loops in the sex scenes are really well done.
-
The setting. As a sci-fi fan I'm in love! There are lots of different alien species, fashions, bots, space battles, good guys, bad guys, shady guys, the in-game universe feels mostly alive.
-
The characters. A broad variety of characters and MC can choose to pursue many of them so far. Because there are a lot of characters who the MC will team up with, not everyone had time to shine yet, but the dev def tries to give them depth. So far it's fun to unravel their backstories.
-
The trans/futa content. In this case the tag is correct, because it has trans (not much yet, but will be more) AND futa (including a sex scene) content, and the trans content is portrayed fairly realistic as far as I can tell, at least on an emotional level.
-
The music. Very atmospheric. Never was tempted to mute.
NEUTRAL
... ... ... (void) ... ... ...
NEGATIVE

The story. Important, only one aspect of the story really pissed me off, take that away and the rest of the story is good. It's no secret, I love good incest games. So you - the MC - have two childhood friends, aka your (patched) sisters. Twins, one year younger than you. Perfect setup for someone like me who likes sibling incest best of all. (SPOILERS ahead
The story begins with the three of you in military training, going on your first real mission which doesn't go well at all. One of your sisters gets kidnapped by lightly clothed muscular women, your space navy doesn't want to go after the baddies, so you desert and steal a ship to go after them and rescue your sister.
As an experienced player of adult games all of these first few minutes scream "URGENT! IMMEDIATE ATTENTION REQUIRED! You have a few hours to get your sister back, maybe a day, because after that she'll be sexually molested and probably ends up liking it thanks to Sexual Stockholm Syndrome."
Too far fetched? Well... The evening before the mission you can talk to your sisters and the rest of your crewmates. At that point you can get a relationship indicator for exactly two people, and surprise!, it's only one of your sisters, the one who doesn't get kidnapped the next day. So playing an incest adult game where one of your primary sisterly love interests not only has no entry in your ever growing love interest list, but also gets kidnapped after 5 minutes? You bet I was on high alert.
But then... the story proceeds. And proceeds. And proceeds. Hours pass. Days. Weeks. At one point even months. The way the story proceeds is good, you meet new people, you do a lot of things, can have a lot of sex, BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR SISTER? That feeling of urgency is still there. I mean, the dev lets them DESERT to find her, indicating that time is of the essence. Desertion is a death penalty offense, you don't do that if you have all the time in the world to find her.
So yes, the immersion is good. Too good at that point, because my constant feeling of uneasiness was never adressed again by the dev. It was like he said "It's urgent, it's urgent, do something! Do anything! Good, you've done something. Now it's many months later, deal with it, how urgent can it be, really?" Extremely unsatisfactory.
Well, enough ramblings. Anyway, that particulary aspect of the story keeps the game from getting 5/5.
Summary
Despite the one super annoying aspect of the story I had a lot of fun! Good sci-fi setting, good sex, good music. Recommended. 4/5
