Aries

Full disclosure: If you couldn't tell by my number of product reviews and seeing how I received the game for free, I am a backer of Aries from when it was on Indiegogo. Despite this, I feel it necessary to be completely honest while writing a review for it. The game is in early access and has many features yet to be implemented and plenty of bugs. However, after playing the game for awhile, I can confidently say that in its current state, Aries is still fun and scratched that 4X strategy itch that I had for so long. I love the Total War series and Warhammer 40k and this game is like the combination of the two. I enjoyed both the space and the ground battles. I am also digging the steampunk-like aesthetic the game touts. I have run into many bugs, which is very common for a Early Access game. However, what I have been most impressed with is how the developer keeps in contact with the community and how quickly bugs are fixed once brought forward. I have reported numerous bugs and he has responded personally to each bug report I sent in. The glitches are then typically fixed within a couple of days. He has been open to critiques, suggestions, and is probably been the most accessibl…

No tutorial, couldn't figure out how to play, after forty minutes I gave up. Refunded, Ill pick it up again once It gets a tutorial

It's space age Total War, which is perfect in my opinion! I will say though this game needs a lot of work, but I believe that the developer can and will finish making the game it's just going to take some time. So if a space age Total War sounds good to you then please support this developer by buying the game as every little bit helps. For now though I need to take a break from the game until the final release or after several updates. And when I return to this game I will actually write a full on review for the game. Anyways thank you for reading and I wish the developer the best of luck!

well for what it is, it is an ok game for now no real updates or anything so far it seems to play just fine.

Really enjoying the game so far. There is a lot of depth to it at the moment but sometimes it needs to explain what is happening better. I've seen the roadmap on Indie DB and I'm excited to see how it develops.
