Oh boy i was soooo excited about that game when i first heard about it.The more i saw, the less excited i was.And now that i played that game Oh boy i was soooo excited about that game when i first heard about it.The more i saw, the less excited i was.And now that i played that game i think i was right.I will not write a in-depth review cause that game isnt wort the effort.Why?Its out on IOS and when you see and play the game you know why it should only be available to mobile devices.This game is really simple.Fighting is simple, science is simpel.You cant research like you did in Masters of Orion for example.I never got excited because i invented something cause there is nothing to invent in the first place.Every faction plays the same, even the research is the same.No effort put into it, lazy as hell.The missions get boring really quickly.There are some different type of missions but they will pop up too often.After the 8th spacestation that is damaged or the 12th defenseplattform that goes rogue it gets dumb.

It doesn't pretend to be a full Civilisation game but still, for having Sid Meier in the name it just doesn't deliver enough. Graphics are really basic but at least the window can be rescaled freely. The fact that this is also a mobile game really shines through. Research, outfitting ships and managing planets is linear and just as uninteresting. Considering that this is pretty much all you do the entire game it's fair to say that it gets old very quickly.

Instead of moving spices and terraforming you get missions on each planets. The core gameplay feels as interesting as the space age in Spore. I'm not saying simplicity is a bad thing but for a Sid Meier title this is more than just bland. At first I thought I was missing something but it's really that simple. He and Civilization are probably the biggest names in the genre. He and Civilization are probably the biggest names in the genre If you don't know anything about Sid Meier, look him up and what games he did. If you don't know anything about Sid Meier, look him up and what games he did. They were really up front about what this was going to be, and the price point still feels very reasonable to me for how much I see myself playing it. If you saw Sid Meier's name and thought you were getting a Civ-scale experience for $15, I don't think that warrants some of the negative reviews that are here.

This would go a long way toward adding the strategic depth that I think is missing - maybe cap it at 3 so the map doesn't turn into a mess that you have to micromanage (think old Total War games where by the end, you'd have dozens of one-unit armies trying to get to the front). * Have multiple fleets, instead of just one flying around. * Let you actively lose ships - other than spending energy to repair damage, the consequences of losing are just really marginal. That's so strange to be missing from a game today. Three things I would change (or at least want to hear why they didn't take this approach): * Add multiplayer. It's not an epic, Civ-style experience, but I imagine I'll play it as a way to get my strategy fix when I'm crunched for time. There are tweaks to make, but it's engaging, very well crafted, and has a solid degree of customization.
