A turn-based grand strategy game in space: Defend Earth against an alien invasion from the edge of the Solar System. Negotiate with the various governments of Earth and secure their support - One way or the other. Establish your bases on other planets to take the fight to the enemy. Design and build powerful spaceships, then take them into battle.
The game has great potential. It reminds strongly of "UFO Enemy Unknown". After playing the demo I find these aspects interesting:
- great personal management
- great fleet management
These aspects seemed ok:
- usual way of improving through a fixed researchtree
- limited diplomacy
- creating own fleets
These aspects need improvement:
- graphics are plain, that is ok, bet the overall layout could need some improvements and some more pictures would greatly improve the game
- battle system seems reasonable but as a core feature, should be either more realistic or more arcade-like - right now I found it no better than "Master of Orion 2"
- overall mood/feeling of this game is weak, although I really liked playing it did not really addict me
