There are some neat aspects but if you are not a big fan of turn-based games you will definitely be "turned off&quo
I can see what people are talking about in the positive reviews of this game but, for me, the problems are much too major. If there is a battle you have the option of hitting "auto" and it's done. So why both... Read Full Review

The game that saved space strategy for me
I'm not someone who reviews games a lot, but this little gem saved the 4x genre for me. After being gravely disappointed by Master of Orion 3 and finding both Space Empires V and Galactic Civilizations II rather schemati... Read Full Review

Lack of ship building variety and simplified combat system, turn offs for me.

Reminiscent of MOO, with some nice modern-day elements blended in.
First of all I must say that I am a die-hard fan of the 4x space empire-building genre. I've collected and played many of them ever since the days of Master of Orion. Now, this IS because I love the idea of such games, f... Read Full Review
