If you are interested in guiding and uplifting alien civilizations, this game is probably for you. The full storyline took me around 17 hours to complete. I did not check different endings or other routes, so I cannot confidently say how meaningful the choices are in the long term, but during the playthrough they felt meaningful enough. I also did not have any real problems with the English translation; it felt fine to me. There is a strategy and management layer, but it is fairly rudimentary and easy. The combat is a bit wacky, mostly because you do not directly control your troops. I ran into an issue where I could not capture the last province because my army kept jumping in and out of it. Some RPG elements also feel unclear and somewhat unfinished. That said, I see these issues as minor obstacles rather than major prob…
