Stellar Sovereigns

I have really been enjoying learning this game. I'm just getting to the point where I am reasonably competent with it's various systems. Make no mistake, this game does not treat you with kid gloves. If you have never played a 4X game you will probably be totally bewildered. The tutorial windows will guide you through a good deal of the games functions but not all of them. I had like 30 hours in before I figured out how to put ships into the local system reserve, to cut down on upkeep costs and/or reform fleet compositions. The 3D map is awsome and the game is perfect to spend long hours gorking out on especially as a background activity. I really respect what this game does especially with the RTS style combat where individual ships really matter. Hats off.

This is one of a kind that is meant to be a grand chess of this genre. I will update this review as I play more.

This has the bones of a great great game, reminds me a lot of a 4x starfleet command which should be a perfect game for me. Why isn't it? Terrible UI truly awful. There is an introduction to the game in the form of multiple screens but it dumps a load of information on you in walls of text masking the UI in a lot of cases and its forgotten as soon as the screen passes. The UI is so hard to parse, there's no reason for a 3d galaxy they should have opted for simplicity of design, function over form instead the excessive amount of visual garbage and semi transparency effects make the screens hard to parse at a glance. Ships seem to cost money (as they should) but nowhere in the ship design screen does there seem to be any mention of maintainanece costs for the ships which is frustrating. The research screen has many tabs and a slider, it needs none, if it were a reasonable size with a better designed layout it could probably fit on one screen. I usually like quite complex games but if you're going to make them getting the UI right is absolutely essential. I'm not refunding it I'd quite like it to do well and in some time I may return and change this review and add some pointe…

This was an okay game until the developer abandoned it for another project that he probably won't complete either. A pity as this game had promise.

This game is fantastic. Developer is active and patches are regular.

Was really looking forward to a turn base 4x game. I loaded the game and less than 10 min I requested a refund. Not even worth the 13 bucks I spent on it. Save your time and money don't even buy it.
