Endless Space (4X)

<< < (2/2)

TMRNetShark:
The game is more like Master of Orion. I would say that the gameplay is very much like Civilization in the sense of movement, planet developments, and research. Basically, you have to keep your citizens happy while either setting the planet to research improvements OR convert a resource into dust (gold/cash) OR make ships.

What I really like about it is that you can make your OWN ships (by picking modules to customize the firepower/shields/armor/special attacks) and the fact that you can make pure production planets while still having pure resource generating planets. It's basically the coolest 4X space game I have ever played (SoaSE comes in second... but that's real time 4X).

it pretty much plays out exactly like SotS, only that you don't have the real time combat element and at the moment the movement methods of the different races are not as diverse as in SotS. (there are more races to come though)

I hear it's not dissimilar to Galactic Civilisations either (GalCiv 2 is still one of my favourite games ever).

Personally, I haven't played this yet, but I really really want to. I'm waiting for it to get slightly closer to being finished, so I can enjoy the full experience properly when I play it for the first time. Hopefully I won't have too long to wait.

I don't know why I bothered asking. I'm getting this game when it comes on sale, I already decided that.

The majority of the game mechanics are in the game... I would say all that's left is the rest of the races and multiplayer. And probably balancing too.
