I'm not familiar with Swords & Wizardry, but I bought this based on the reviews. I was expecting a bit more, which I don't fault the publisher. It's got a common theme for space RPGs and the rules and mechanics are simple and familiar based on older RPGs. (I say that because some of the concepts I had already included in my old Star Frontiers games way back when -- one example, Star Knights). Overall the product is a good buy for the money and a great tool to expand upon, especially if you want to keep things simple.
