Graze Counter GM (2023)

Novice with the Auto Shield skill supplies a regenerating buffer while you learn to pass close to bullets and release a powerful counterattack. That makes the game's central risk feel less forbidding, while its mission lessons explain the tools in smaller steps. The shield is not a promise of constant protection: it needs time to return after a hit. Choose GM, the expanded release, and begin with a regular starting craft before experimenting with the more unusual unlockable ships.
