Its slower than most 4x games I have played (played most of them). Most turns, I simply clicked end turn because there was nothing to do, I was just building planet improvements which takes several turns or waiting for a research to complete. I couldn't build any more factory ships (I GUESS it was because I didn't have the population for it, but that's pretty broken since I found an AI empire with 5 or so stars colonized by the time I could finally start building a factory ship again, so I guess I'm to assume that he just rolled better food FIDS on his planets). I just started a game as Sowers, colonized a nearby star with my factory ship and another planet in my starting system. I played it for a while, but I didn't "get" it really. Overall, if you like civilization and/or aren't afraid of an in-depth turn based strategy game, you will probably enjoy this game.

this game is grand in scope so it feels like one of those games that takes forever to master but is rewarding if you do. There are 4 tech trees, and each faction has unique technologies! I have to disagree with the tech tree being lackluster - it is very involved and there are penultimate technologies that provide some insane bonuses or lead to victory conditions. I am still getting the hang of ship design because even in the early game there are a ton of customization options. The AI seems to like expanding rapidly and then picking fights with neighbors, but I have also had some friendly trading and an alliance as well. I just got into my first war and the combat is engaging, you command your units with a command card system - certain cards perform tactics that counter the opponents, or vice versa, but since you don't know what card the enemy will play feels a bit random. The game prompts you to do things, but does not direct your attention or nag you like civilization.

The user interface is complex, but it is modular so it should be pretty easy to improve - I find that once you get the hang of navigating it, its not bad at all. There is a pretty big learning curve to getting into the game, but it is getting more and more fun as I learn how to play. #2 I have played for about 2 hours so far.įirst impressions are that it is similar to civilization but with a different war/combat system and much more expansive empire management.
