But will it be enough to save humanity?In this sci-fi turn-based 4X strategy game, you may choose one of several factions divided between three races, and establish yourself in Eos.

It has hexes on land, hexes in space, and star lanes. There are parts of this game that looks like Civilization, Galactic Civilization, and Master of Orion. It's an interesting concept, but I fear that this game is prone to sell you DLC that serves only to fill in the intentional gaps.Which is a shame because this was a game that could've knocked it out of the park, in a genre that's already congested as it is, there was hope in the hearts and minds of strategy players and it sort of dropped the ball for now. I'm hoping this game finds it identity when it comes time for a full release, because it feels shallow and barren. The 'music' in this game is how I feel about the game currently, it's all soundscapes right now, eerie and emotionless noise. But just like walking through an empty house, you can start to see where everything could go. It's a face without facial features, so hopefully they'll add some flavoring and identity to a promising foundation. I still recommend this game on the promises it sets out to fulfill, it's a shiny new toy and as a fan of 4x I don't get to experience something new all that often. So here's hoping it'll be a great game in 3-5 years!!!. I'm a little ways in on this game so far and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. 4x is my genre. I like the wide variety of factions and the style of the game. I'm going to put some of the issues in the cons section that I hope will be fixed. Overall I'm giving this a buy recommendation even as it is. Very playable so far. Can only get better.Pros-Managing both space and land is a lot of fun, and it's pretty complicated. It adds a lot of depth.-Combat is satisfying. The one-unit-per-tile leads to a lot of combined arms advantages and strategic methods.-A wide variety of systems to explore-Building up cities has depth and is interesting.Cons-Graphics are kind of watery and makes it difficult to tell who owns what territory and units-AI is not smart. It just builds units and hurls them at you like suicide waves. -Diplomacy ... needs work. They automatically declare war if you're weaker and sue for peace if they're losing. There's a lot of counters for diplomacy ... trust, respect, etc but they don't seem to be activated yet.-Controlling this much requires some automation. Take a page out of the old Alpha Centauri and let us set up some patrol points.-Make better use of the terrain and tactics for one unit per tile. For instance, flanking attacks and morale bonuses for adjacent friendlies.Overall, this is a great game so far and well-priced.. This has amazing potential, I have honestly never been more excited about a game. It takes a lot of the best features from a number of 4x games and combines them into one game with seemingly everything, somehow. Currently it needs a lot of polish though, it's very much an EA game, has a number of UI issues, bugs, broken mechanics, and balance issues, but it seems like most of the core content is already there from what I have seen so it's just a matter of fixing things from this point on. (Edit: Actually another look at the tech tree revealed that the game is currently fairly light on content, era 2 and 3 are pretty small, and era 4 is empty. It probably needs about double the current number of techs, but most of what's missing is just general advancements\/progression stuff.)The "core" game is essentially Beyond Earth, except after a point you can build ships and go into space to colonize more planets. You start on a random planet of one of several biomes, have some semi-hostile alien wildlife to deal with, some ruins to explore, and it has a "path" system very similar to the Beyond Earth affinity system allowing you to shift your empire toward specific values and unlock related bonuses (IE a nature type path that has an unlock that makes wildlife less hostile). Unit design is closer to Pandora\/Alpha Centauri, where you have a unit "frame" with equipment slots that change not only the stats of the unit but the function (you can take a tank frame and add an engineering module to allow that tank unit to build outposts for example). The tech system borrows heavily from Endless Legend with tech eras that require a certain number of previous techs (or tech points) to open up. There's also an Endless Legend style main quest line to follow (I didn't get very far into this, but what I saw was fairly generic random style quests without that much story or lore, I don't even know if they are faction specific or not), with various random side quests. It has some of the government options from Endless Space 2, you have a government stance and various edicts you can enact for a wide variety of effects. The government stance comes with a point system as well that determines which types of edicts you can use, it's very similar in some ways to the Galactic Civilizations 3 ideology system with a similar set of moral stances (good\/neutral\/evil basically), and these have an effect on interactions with other factions.City building works more like the Warlock games where you have a main city center and then districts you build around it to collect resources or add functionality, there are few upgrades built into the city center though so not everything is a district. Different districts get bonuses from different terrain features, rivers for farming districts, mountains for industry districts, sea tiles for science districts, and there are upgrades to the districts you can unlock and build, so positioning of districts and cities is pretty important in determining the role of that city. Ground combat is fairly standard 1UPT stuff, units do gain exp and level up and that seems to have a really huge impact on their effectiveness. I don't know much about the space layer yet at the time of writing this, I ran into some issues and decided to take a break. Apparently there's a pretty huge bug right now that prevents habitable planets from generating at the correct rates, so a "huge" galaxy is apparently 100 systems I think and on "common" habitable planets it creates like 2-3 total, and then all of the factions start on those 2-3 planets. There were like 7 factions on my starting planet out of the I think 15 in the game, two of them were wiped out very quickly, a third is about it die. 2 of those 3 were the only friendly ones to me. Planets themselves are about the size of like a small or tiny map in Civ6, you can probably pack like 20 reasonably spaced cities onto one, but with 7 factions it was pretty crowed.I'm giving it a thumbs up for now, I think as long as they don't abandon it instantly it's going to become something special. It's on sale now 10% off and after EA the price will increase, so I want to say buy it now if you are interested and then maybe wait a few days or weeks for the biggest issues to be fixed before getting into it, but just know that there are currently some fairly big issues and if you really want to be safe, wait a while before buying.. Okay so this game shows a lot of promise and the idea of civilisation\/stellaris mix is awesome to mebut the graphics kinda put me off. its blurry at best and seems way to zoomed in and the leaders are a little creepy.i haven't played much but what i have i enjoyed and the tech tree is cool. Hope the devs update this a lot and optimise it because this could be such a successful game if its done right.. If you like CIV: Beyond Earth then this will be very familiar and should enjoy even now. Early access so definitely not the same level as polish but very familiar game mechanics (aliens\/missions etc.)What makes this different is the inter-planet\/galaxy scale (which i'm just starting to explore). At the moment this is more like Civ-lite with a whole another layer (space) on top of it. Keen to see how they keep developing it.Very little documentation and no online help yet so if you want everything explained you might be frustrated. I'm ok with that but others might not be.. Yes, I know it's early in Early Access but I wanted to get my initial thoughts down now and after I get more playing time in I'll do more updates. First, some background. I've played just about every 4X space (and fantasy) game out there. Some have been ones I return to often, others...not so much. My favorites are still MOO2 and Alpha Centauri (altho all-time favorite remains Master of Magic and glad Wargaming hasn't screwed that one up yet!) I liked Stellaris more before they took out the options for modes of transport....was kind of a warp fan...and I preferred the first Endless Space over 2. Also liked the Sins of a Solar Empire series. This game has all of the required parts...I tried playing on the Huge map and found other AI players very close and a couple Minor Factions even closer. I usually like a little breathing room to play before I have to worry about diplomacy or warfare but here I've already got my military research pumping up rather than the science and industry like I normally do. There are native hostile critters running around. The tutorial seems helpful and all in all I'm reminded mostly of Alpha Centauri. But it's still early and there is a lot more to learn. I already like it better than the latest version of 'Space Civ' so it's got that going for it. Plus, there are a lot of factions to pick from at the beginning which is nice. I like options. And regardless if you find this something to add to your library or not, have fun gaming!. I know it's early access but game is so unbalanced, AI is dumb and playing even on hard difficulty is not a challenge at all especially if you are after science victory.At this point it's waste of time. Hope they can significantly improve the final product.. Short funny version -The developers of this game heard "just one more turn game play" and assumed that meant the game play should consist of nothing other than clicking next turn.Long unfunny version -Yeah sure its just out to early access five minutes ago, but it is very much nothing more than a cosmetic shell of a very, very, empty game. People should know where it's currently at. Yeah and the AI is made out of year old mango skins, yes even worse than recent Civ AIs, yes I know thats really bad.The game however has a strong wiff of the whole a thousand miles wide and 1 inch deep thing, only not really that wide. And that looks to be entirely the intended and permanent direction of design. Every single mechanic or action you take in the game falls into one of only two categories. It isn't really a choice or it doesn't actually matter.I'll be keeping an eye on this, it clearly wants to be some sort of successor to certain actually good games, but I am not optimistic for the design direction. Look at the incredible degree to which the tech tree is actually almost offensive in how incredibly bland it is. The only remotely interesting things in it are the most bare of basic game functionality ripped out of sensible game progression and tediously gated behind grinding the next turn button and the rest of it consists of pointlessly incremental bonuses in a tree designed to give the illusion of choice when in reality it forces you, like every mechanic in the game, into bland generalisation from a bland set of bland options.The Factions are the same. The, i don't even care about the name? Cultural Ideals points? The same. Weapons options. The same. Special resources, the same. Etc...I fear that's just not going to get better. That's clear intent in design direction. They've drunk the koolaid of every single bad boring and flavor sapping design decision every single other failed 4x clone in the last ten years has drunk and the most incredible and creative thing they managed to do to finally shake this very stale genre up is to include Alpha Centauri style unit customisation. Which they ruin with bland options and an annoying auto design thing that keeps updating designs with the most worthless options that any sensible player wants to purge from at least the majority if not all units for a price discount. If the most creative thing you can add to put some excitement back into this increasingly monotonous genre is a worse version of a single thing a better game did back in 1999 you need to forget everything you currently think you know about game design and start again from scratch.Don't tell me all of the fun bits somehow coincidentally are waiting for a 1.1 post release "fun patch". There should be something in here indicating any hope or optimism for this game's future and there isn't.And the fiction is uninspired and the sound track is flat out right sleep inducing.
