It's a bit of both, really.  (or at least that's what the demo seems
like at first glance... I've not played it much yet.)  Basically
connect a space-flight sim with the base management of XCom1/2.  So
far I think it's worth the time it took to download, and will more
than likely invest in it when the full game comes out.

Of course, YMMV... that's just my opinion.
