None of the above.

It's pulpy, heroic adventures on alien worlds within our solar system, most of which are filled with ancient ruins or primitive societies. Very little of the game is set in space or concerning space combat.

Think "sword and planet" rather than rayguns and Martian invaders.

Pulp sci-fi.

Just plain bad. But it might fall into the planetary romance genre, as it is (at least initially) about an Earthman who travels to another world where he has fantastic adventures.
