Tom's review: As a real time strategy game, Shattered Galaxy can be frustrating. You're only playing one corner of a combined arms system, so you're going to have to wait on Killboy666 to bring up the artillery, while TeRmInAtOr offers air cover, and Default_Player uses his tanks to head off the infantry. You're completely at the mercy of whatever d00ds happen to be logged on to your team at the time. But as a massively multiplayer game, there's a lot to hook you in: improve your character, gain experience for your units, build new squads, and enjoy Nexon's excellent support and imaginative ingame events and twists.

The interface and cities of Shattered Galaxy will remind you of a role-playing game at first. You build a character, assign skill points and wander around a town where you can meet and chat with other players. Depending on which skills you've paid for, you can build armies of varying strengths. The more 'influence' your character has, the more advanced units he can purchase.

Shattered Galaxy has over fifty different kinds of units. They are specialized in application, by way of Shattered Galaxy's rock-paper-scissors targeting system: most weapons can hit either ground units or air units, but not both. ("Versatile" weapons, which [C]an hit both, are always weaker and are generally disdained by veteran players.) Thus, a player can only shoot at certain enemies, and only some of the enemy forces can shoot back. This ... creates a relatively interdependent gaming atmosphere, as players must rely on their teammates' units to cover their own units' blind spots. (Like Versatile weapons, squads composed half-and-half of two different units are frowned upon for their inefficiency.) When the player's squad is destroyed, the player may select a new one to enter into battle 30 seconds later; the player may also "retreat" their squad through a friendly spawn point to select a new one.
