Throughout the development, the British gaming press fueled interest in this project, feeding the public with extremely beautiful screenshots. Some observers even prophesied a Colony Wars-like success for her. As a result, the graphics in Invasion are really great. Every ship, from a tiny one-seat fighter to an interplanetary cruiser, looks like a solid 10, and the majestic, color-saturated backdrops will make you doubt that an old PlayStation can give such beauty, and even without the slightest hint of braking.
