Simple, but good. Not dlc hell like stellaris. You can have many fun hour from it. Perfect? Not, but nothing is that. If you find the was of fighting to your like by videos give it a try

Distant Worlds 1/2 does not work on Steam Deck. Stardrive 1/2 does not work on Steam Deck. Sword of the Stars 1 does not work on Steam Deck. If you want an RTS/4x that isn't Sins of a Solar Empire... this is pretty much your only option... and it runs great. The game is a bit buggy, but so is every space 4x.

Such a good game, the mix between strategic and tactical layers is so nice

Aug. 2024

Great game. Hoped for more content. Oh well.

Feb. 2024

Good game, It crashes sometimes, but, Then it could be the computer! Designing your own spaceships is more fun as the game progresses.
