About Xenocide
It is a time of war among the children of Man the All-MakerAll children of Man seek the relic known as the Immaterium.
The Episcopate of Man says it can allow contact with the souls of humanity so that machinekin can gain inner peace through sublime knowledge. The heretic Old Believers claim it to be a prison which they have a duty to destroy in order to free the creators. The wretched followers of Isidore even believe opening the relic will lead to the destruction of all life in the universe.
Whatever the truth all the children of man, both the faithful and the heretic, all feel the call of the Immaterium.Build a fleet and explore the vast reaches of space once inhabited by humanity in search of the keys to the Immaterium.

[h3]RANKING:[/h3] [table] [tr] [td] [h3][strike]AVOID | FLAWED[/strike] | [b]MAYBE[/b] | [strike]WORTHWHILE | COMPELLING | UNMISSABLE [/strike] [/h3] [/td] [/tr] [/table] [h3]SYNOPSIS:[/h3] [table] [tr] [th][b]ASSESSMENT:[/b][/th] [/tr] [tr] [td] Xenocide is a short, space themed fleet scale TBT wargame with a persistent force, slither of thematic combat mechanics & an ample choice of unit classes including carriers that can carry fighters. Tactical battles are proficiently challenging, demanding thoughtful strategising, but wane due to a lack of new mechanics midgame. The thematic levelling system could have been good, but is bugged, petering out after x5 upgrades. Despite fragments of the transhumanist story, noir colour scheme, & religious overtones, the dark foreboding setting hinted at never really materialises. Which is a shame. The UI needs bugfixes. Along with more info screens that explain concepts better. But for a few faults, additional combat mechanics, tactical tiles for maps & more content would take this to the right side of [b]MAYBE[/b] something to consider.

Unfortunately I didn't understand how to play, this game probably needs a tutorial for people like me who aren't the best at strategy games and being patient. I understand that being cryptic is part of the ambiance and maybe another player will get captivated by the author's original universe and narrative, and take the time to play it more toroughly, that's why I didn't put a thumb down.

This has a lot of potential but currently as another reviewer pointed out you have to do some digging to figure out what the different ship classes do. Graphics are amazing, gameplay is a bit opaque at first.
Recently played this for a small amount of time The game controls can be worked on a lil bit more but if you misclick then oopsie thats that. 5/10 Not bad not good
