Star General

Grid-based old school strategy games. You need a lot of patience to learn the game.

honestly it's alright, but frankly fantasy general is easily the best out of the general games which is the only reason I wouldn't really recommend this. I do think the space and surface combat both being included is really really cool, but the space combat is frankly pretty boring. Mainly just due to how many units they initially give you which makes it feel like your just jamming giant armies against eachother to get to the actual gameplay when both sides are running dry.

the best strategy space game i ever played. got this when it was in PC CD ROM FORM.

This structure gives the game a steady rhythm, rewarding patience and foresight while maintaining an approachable level of complexity that makes it easy to grasp even for those new to the genre.
