If you played crusader kings this game is like a light space version of it that you can complete in some 10 hours. Doesn't fix any of the major flaws of CK II (i.e. interfacing with a vast array of characters via a map on which they are not represented). Not a bad pick up for an enjoyable spin if you see it on a sale.

I've heard about this hidden gem somewhere on Reedit while I was looking for a game with more focus on people than armies. I don't know why but this game is so immersive despite of minimalistic graphics, probably it's a personal taste but I feel more connected to the game world and personalities than in the Crusider Kings series. Also the sci-fi setting let's you to deep dive into the world of your dynasty in space. Do you remember "the Dune" book and how difficult political situation had the House Atreides? Here is the same. After 14h I feel like I still am discovering this game mechanics in a positive way (it's a kind of adventure). I like that all events have their consequences, not as a numeric bonus modifier like in other games but also as part of the world history and people feelings. People will remember things, will ask for justice, will revenge, blackmail, threaten, the longer you play the more interesting the web of connections is and the more immerse the world become.

I absolutely love this game. Make the feudal family of your dreams to rule over the stars, and watch them fall apart with bickering, cheating, lying, assassination, incestuous encounters, and betrayals. It's Game of Thrones in space, and I'm here for it 100%.

This is a laughably great game, especially for the $11 that I paid for it on sale. However, this is just my opinion, so please check my profile to get an idea of the kind of games I own. Also, there is a demo, which is highly recommended. I usually don't do tutorials - not because I am smart - but because I often lack the patience to trudge through them. But I played the tutorial in this demo three times with no issues. This should convince most people if the game is for them or not. It is sort of like a scaled-down Crusader Kings III in space. And is in some ways, more complex and sophisticated than Paradox's mega game. This game is so tool-tip friendly, I can hardly believe it. There is almost nothing in the UI that doesn't have a tool-tip explanation. And for a dullard like me, this is a great help. As the game states up-front, this is not a paint-the-map, grand strategic combat sim, but is chock full of detail nonetheless. Being me, what I love the most about this game is the ability to call up a dev mode and play with the simulation. Almost anything goes here, and I would also recommend the DLC, as it allows one great freedom in creating a new game, plus other nice options. Truth is that I'm an old man and a wargamer at heart, and a stingy one, no less. But because this game offers unlimited replayability, even a cheapo like me would consider paying full price. Distant Worlds 2 is certainly a step up from this game (and has an awesome, in-game editor), but good luck picking that one up for less than $20. This game is more bare-bones - or should I say "streamlined" - with much less focus on combat than empire management. But it will run on a potato, takes up 1 gig or so, and I haven't run across any bugs myself. I'm really impressed overall, and it's one of the better games this reviewer has picked up in quite a while. Best wishes!

"Duke Jurgen Ylvan inherited Ylvani Shogunate in his late 30s. An upstart realm was no different from similar realms but the Ylvan family was strong, honorable, and inspired loyalty. Within 20 years the domain doubled in size and became an empire. And while vassals were backbiting and feuding constantly, the empire was growing. The only issue the Shogunate faced was the question of succession- heiress Anastasia Ylvan was a disgrace: hunting commoners for sport, fornicating, and failing two times at usurping her father. The prospects were bleak but during the 25th year of Jurgen Ylvan's rule, an ancient bioengineering facility was discovered on a newly acquired planet. After research, it was revealed that the old machines were used to create perfect humans. With that, the Emperor decided to create his perfect heir- through questionable bioengineering methods, the 4th Empress gave birth to Yuropa Ylvan, a perfect being destined to be the future Empress. At this point, nobody opposed the Emperor's decision to change the line of succession but it was suspected things would get worse after he died- the child was not able to rule on her own yet and someone from close relatives would need to step in as a regent. But will the regent yield his seat when the heiress comes of age? It turns out the Emperor died 3 years too early before his heiress came out of age. Her uncle, one of the most despised people in the Empire, given his predicament, did well holding onto all assets- not losing anything but also not progressing anywhere. Yuropa ascended to the throne after 3 years of interregnum, taking charge of the realm that was tearing itself apart. Within 1st year of her rule, three vassal lords decided to raise against her, branding her as incompetent for losing 1/3 of the territory. Her step-sister tried to assassinate her and usurp power for herself. Neighboring rulers declared war, smelling easy gains. But she was engineered to perfection. The first wind of change blew when she singlehandedly defeated an assassin by knifing him from the shadows. She banished her step-sister. Bombarded rebellious vassals, refusing to parley and deposing them eventually. The invaders were repelled and territory regained once the civil war was over." And that's just in one playthrough.
