Galactic Ruler Enlightenment

Really fun concept, really enjoy it up until it crashes, then crashes again. Its like the game has reached its limit at the same point. I have gone through the threads, tried adjusting the game scale, and the in game settings. From reading the forums it seems like there was only one fix to constant crashing issue, double the normal 16 gb of RAM to 32, otherwise it seems like the method is to blame hardware or software (there is no war in Ba Sing Se lol). I tried on two computers both capable of handling 3d modeling, texturing and unreal engine. If later down the road I give this another try and can make it through a decent amount of play I will change this. The same goes for the original galactic ruler. Right not I get right to where I feel I am building something to be proud of then crash after crash. I also tried taking it slow and not attacking anyone. It eventually crashed. I have noticed the game crashes when you try to do things your not suppose to, I wonder if the AI is doing the same and crashing the game. Just a thought. There are also sudden and noticeable lag spike when the game changes music, cant remember if its the same song our not. I was able to get farther whe…

A very deep game. Takes everything in the previous SR games and adds three levels of strategy - galactic, systemwide and a ground battle level. The game itself is a little opaque but well worth the effort to get into to - so much opportunity for storybuilding and renaming units and planets and so on(something I appreciate). The Enlightenment version also has a campaign of its own, which is a nice way of guiding a player through a story rather than leaving you to your own devices fully. I would recommend for anyone into deep strategy games, and definitely for anyone who enjoys other SR games.

Devs openly admit Galactic Ruler Enlightenemnt [GRE] is a re-release the same game as GR with Enlightenment added to the name to garner more attention, avoid old negative reviews. Don't Buy this. I love the games the studio makes, but their after management, shady and borderline scammy marketing practices, releasing a half made "new" game with insignificant changes while charighing almost AAA prices for these "new titles" while at the same time completely abandoning old projects still in need of developemtn, this is one of those. Not worth your money.

Really enjoying this game even though it still needs some work from the developers. I am enjoying the game play style and the depth. There is quite a steep learning curve and lots of "hidden" detail to master but it is worth the effort. Plenty of help available on the forums and Discord.

Now, I had to sadly change my review for this game for one simple reason... This game isn't finished, not the original GR version, nor this one "DLC"... The AI is simply attrocious, as it is the very same AI from the supreme ruler series (which works kinda just fine in that series) slaped on top of a 3 layer inter-stellar board. Lovely idea, yes, but DAMN, badly implemented. Lets be real here, this game has everything I looked for in a space game, it allows you to essentially do everything from building your infrastructure from the ground up, right up untill you reach self suficiency, and even simulates the power scalling from maxxing out all the natural resources extraction from your planet until your required industry to keep your empire simply afloat is just begging for off-world resources... From this, all the way to loading up an 8 inch towed arty (produced by this same industry) battery into your space port, having a massive transport fleet show up to load it, then ferry it all to a planet in a completelly different solar system in the other side of the galaxy to unload it and take it to a literally trench-line to hammer the last remnants of some forgotten species that is…
