About ENDLESS Space™ - Definitive Edition

✦ AI summary

Command one of twelve civilizations in a sprawling 4X space opera where you'll pursue victory through diplomacy, exploration, technological supremacy, or military conquest across hundreds of procedurally generated star systems. Customize your fleets with unique ships and modules, recruit heroes with specialized abilities, and harness the mysterious power of ancient Dust while battling intelligent AI opponents in dynamic simultaneous-turn gameplay.

ENDLESS Space™ - Definitive Edition includes all the expansions and updates released for the game (including ENDLESS Space™ Disharmony).

This galaxy is ancient, and its first intelligent life was the civilization we call the ENDLESS. Long before our eyes gazed upon the stars they flew between them, though all that remains of this people is what we call Dust. A substance found scattered or in forgotten temples, it once gave powers to admirals and galactic governors. The galaxy will belong to the faction that can take control of the Dust and uncover its secrets…

A Born Leader

Guide one of twelve civilizations as you strive for galactic domination. Will you control the entire galaxy through subtle trade and diplomacy, explore every corner of the universe to find powerful artifacts and resources, overwhelm other civilizations with your advanced technologies, or destroy your enemies with massive armadas?

ENDLESS Discoveries

With hundreds of star systems to explore, different planet types, luxuries and strategic resources to exploit, the mysteries within the Dust to master and a host of strange scientific phenomena to deal with, the player will have no lack of challenges. Hire heroes to become fleet admirals or system governors and discover five hero classes and their unique ability trees and specializations.

✦ AI summary

Endless Space offers compelling strategic depth with engaging diplomacy, unique faction mechanics, and an immersive universe enhanced by excellent music and lore. However, players frequently criticize the game as outdated compared to its superior sequel Endless Space 2, particularly citing poor combat mechanics, unclear interfaces, and inferior resource management systems that make it difficult to recommend despite its thoughtful turn-based gameplay.

Enjoyable game, love being able to design ships to fill out roles in a fleet. The game leaves a lot to be desired but scratches a lot of itches though.

[b]Introduction :[/b] Développé par Amplitude Studios et édité par Iceberg Interactive, ENDLESS Space est un 4X spatial au tour par tour sorti en 2012, ici dans sa Definitive Edition qui regroupe le jeu de base et son extension Disharmony. Le concept est classique du genre : explorer la galaxie, coloniser des systèmes, développer ton économie et ta technologie, puis dominer les autres factions par la diplomatie, le commerce ou la guerre. [b]Ce que j'ai aimé :[/b] [list] [*]🪐 une interface claire et vraiment intuitive pour un 4X, chose assez rare dans le genre : la prise en main est bien plus douce que chez la concurrence, on entre dans le vif sans se noyer [*]💠 une gestion économique et systémique excellente, avec des connexions entre systèmes qui donnent du sens à chaque décision de colonisation et d'exploitation [*]🎨 une direction artistique épurée et élégante, une esthétique galactique très lisible qui a super bien vieilli [*]🧬 des factions aux styles de jeu différenciés qui poussent à varier les approches et gonflent la rejouabilité [/list] [b]Ce que j'ai moins aimé :[/b] [list] [*]⚔️ un système de combat trop passif et un peu hasardeux : tout se joue en amont dans la ges…

I honestly wanted to like this game, but I don't. While it is initially interesting, it falls flat on its face later on. It has the typical problem many 4x games have: bloated, overcomplicated spreadsheet UI which despite that, does not even give you all the important information you actually need. Most of the gameplay is windows that you open and close. What is it with 4X games and their obsession with micro-management? First time players are greeted by a ridiculous amount of pop up tutorials that you have to read through. Story only exists to give the game a setting, never gets developed and is essentially the same for every faction. Destroy everything. Diplomacy, like in almost every 4X game, is just a pointless distraction that never really works anyway. The AI cheats. Heavily. Expanded your Empire, have you? Well, the AI declared war on you and it keeps sending doom stacks of dozens of fleets at you while you didn't even have time to create a proper fleet. I might be done with 4X games. It's always the same.

A truly great game, but buy its sequal 1000 times out of a 1000. Its the grown up; this is the toddler.

Endless Space and Endless Space 2 are enjoyable. I'm not shure why I sometimes prefer Endless Space to it's sequel, but I like to take it out for a few games every once in a while.
