Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Now for the gameplay, it’s a straightforward strategy game, that isn’t all that complex, you start with one or a few planets and as your resources build up you send your ships to take over more planets, you build up money to upgrade your planets to higher levels which makes them stronger and produce more resources for example.
