During colonization, players may encounter native monsters. To prepare for combat, strengthen your fighter aircraft and train pilots. The battles are shooting-style encounters managed by an advanced auto-pilot system. As the commander in the control tower, guide your pilots to victory.
There’s also a chance that you can become friends with monsters during battle. By enlisting their help to host outdoor events, tourists from across the universe may flock to your city.
