It utilizes a fully immersing "twitch-based" system that allows the player to engage in combat in a ship-to-ship action-oriented style. Jumpgate is also highly accessible, allowing it to run on a range of low-spec PCs, and has an endless stream of content with an innovative mission-generator mechanic so players will never find themselves bored.

Mission Against Terror
