SPACE COMBAT 8/10 and empire building is is all real time VERY LIKE a proper rts giving you direct command of ALL your ships and orbitals and carriers and across every system in the galaxy i have had major fights going on in 10-15+ systems at the same time with no ship limit this can get a bit frantic but is also great fun don’t know of another 4x game that dose this
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
PROS: Delightful characterisations, great graphics, hordes of 4x scrum-diddly-umptious micro detail with ship customisations, big badda-boom pewnage, and a relentless AI that only cheats 'a little bit'
