What players think
The recurring themes across 285 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Pros: Still one of the most ambitious rts games I have ever played, Star ruler makes up for bare-minimum graphics with mind boggling scale and complexity.
All in glorious real-time and even with friends in multiplayer.
Examples include an entire resource (luxuries) that in all my 80 hours of gameplay I didn't worry about once.
I would listen to The Tron: Legacy soundtrack while playing this.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
