This is what I'd consider the most digestible 5x (4x+'eXpress') I've ever seen, complete with all the good bones of the Twilight Imperium Boardgame while navigating around the pitfalls of that expansive game. The Public Lobbies are completely dead, but the Discord lives on with a LFG, and if you have a gaming group, this game is a steal for hours of interesting and varied play. Let's talk about what this accomplishes over Twilight Imperium (TI). •Game Length: Our first game took three hours, and ever since turn timers have been implemented, our games stay at about the two hour mark. This puts it faster than a lot of boardgames with similar complexity, without sacrificing on depth of interesting mechanics. •Complexity: The game has a wonderful set of varied objectives that get voted on every handful of turns. All this variation and depth doesn't come at the cost of needing to pause play every half hour for a few minutes to look into an Alphabetized Index to learn what mechanics do. Everything is keyworded and able to be hovered on to explain exactly what their function. •Digestibility: All of this complexity plays well as the core actions of a 4x are broken into what can essentially be called 'Edict Cards' ( think 'Action Cards'), and of the list you'll get 3 (or More, depending on various faction actions) to spend an action resource ('Support') on to execute.. This —along with the idea of more generic actions that you can do without a card— makes up the sum of the minute-to-minute gameplay. Move your ships, play your cards, manage your resources. Want to do more on a turn? Build 'Support' growers or tech into things that make your 'support'-use more efficient. It's such a neat, elegant system. I highly recommend this for gaming groups that want to play a digital boardgame, and EXPRESSLY recommend this over digital ways of playing Twilight Imperium that exist at the time of this review.
Playing the board game of Twilight Imperium is the perfect segue into playing this game. It takes the great concepts that TI created and improves upon them in pretty much everyway. Grab some friends and fight over the galaxy together. I love this game and I dont know how it has gone under people's radars for so long.
This is very much of a hidden gem, a strong 'quick and simple' 4X strategy game with resources, planets, fleets and light deck-building. Although it is a spin-off of Stellaris, and takes place in the same universe which I think is an absolute plus, it plays very differently. It even has a story campaign that is fun, has some entertaining lore, and actually teaches you all the ins and outs of every faction and the game's mechanics while providing a decent challenge and a good diversity of gameplay. I found that a very nice surprise, in addition to the main gamemode which you can play both in singleplayer or multiplayer. It is my go-to strategy game for my Steam Deck, easily beating other SD compatible strategy games like Civilization and Endless Legend. Perfect for on the couch, plane, or garden seat. However, whereas with PC controls you're good to go, setting the right SD controls for you personally does require a couple of minutes of tinkering. And because it is so lovely, I think it is a damn shame the game launched with nearly no marketing and with a very dumb last-minute name change that both removed its identity as a Stellaris spin-off and made it hard to search for on Steam, other stores and search engines. It really deserves better, and to be frank, I would love some DLC as I think this game is a complete experience but definitely has potential for more.
An overlooked multiplayer gem. It's "Stellaris Lite" in many ways, with games that last about 2 hours on default settings. There are often issues with players getting disconnected but the way they've handled it is really smooth (players can rejoin within a few seconds and everyone else can still do their turn in the meantime). The tutorial is pretty good at getting new players onboarded within an hour or so. Overall I'd highly recommend this one, and it's a shame they're not continuing to develop it!
This is exactly what the 4X genre needs - a faster paced game that can be finished in about an hour. There is a ton of variety in factions and strategy, allowing you to play wide or play a small focused empire. A real gem that has innovations similar to the "order system" from Old World, limiting your actions per turn. This along with the galactic voting system makes the strategies more than just "build up fleet, conquer enemy". Diplomacy and objectives actually matter. I just wish that more people knew about it and that its name wasn't literally a cellphone. Why they renamed it is anyone's guess, but it's caused this game to be forgotten by even the Stellaris fanbase. Come back and develop it and once again rename it to Stellaris : 5X or something of that nature with a juicy new patch and I think we'd see a lot more people return.
