Funny and Easy!

This title is far different from every Turn Based Strategy game I ever played. The game hasn't any type of micromanaging and this is the fun part for those who don't want to spent their time on planet optimizing... The game offer only four spiecies to play, but every of them is well designed and unique. 4 races 4 game-styles.
The game concentrate itself on battles, logistic and fleet building.
Even the r&d is limited to warfaring and economy powerups.
I played it, I finished it and... I enjoyed it!

three things are down in this title:

1 maybe it is too easy, AI is not comparable to Galactic Civ II and it doesn't stand a chance against a human player.

2 some battles where are involved many ships had dropped my FPS to 10-15,
and it is strange for a turn strategy game! 3 I had some strange bugs on sound... even with the 1.1 patch.

At the end, the game deserve to be played, the genre fans will not be deluded.

    If you are like me, when you first play this game, you might be a little put off. Some of the voice acting is laughable (like the human scientist), the graphics aren't exactly cutting edge, and planetary management is ve... Read Full Review
