Feb. 2026

This game is great. It's TI4 as a videogame, and well made. Games only take 60-90 minutes. Problem is that almost nobody plays, so you have to set up games on discord or get friends into it. But the game itself is great - come play.

I still don't get why Stellaris disinherited it (or at least, why doesn't Stellaris more prominently note its role within the story...) It's a good game, and it deserve better recognition.

Dec. 2025

A 4x game that can be completed in under an hour fills a gap in the genre that I have been hoping for for a long time. Its really entertaining, contains all important aspects of a 4x game and i defenitely recommend it.

Sept. 2025

This game should be played more than it is, it's easy to learn and complex enough to have good strategy. Interesting Factions. Great game if you have friends to play it with

April 2025

I have struggled to enjoy any 4X game. Stellaris, Gal Civ3, Civ5/6. The only one which kept little interest to me was Distant Worlds 2, even then, I have never completed a playthrough. I want to love 4X, I like the idea of them, just find them ultimately boring. I never feel part of the galaxy, or ever feel the choices make any real difference to your story.... no babylon 5 vibes.... Nexus 5 changes that, shortens the game, gives you good direction and instantly feels like your competing for domination. The one to two hours games make it replayable and enjoyable. Another little gem. I rank this high along with another a little like it Slipways. Both take a unique perspective. Hats off to the devs!
