No no, don't misread, i wasn't defeated in battle. Here i am, 5 hours into a game, I've just lost 3 fleets and 2 planets. I also find that its bugs make it unplayable. I gave the first match like this 15 minutes, I do heavily enjoy this game. let the battle play out, or end the match and sacrifice the match. The enemy flew off the map and i was faced with a choice. Sidenote: there's some bathroom language in at least one NPC dialog which seems totally out of place in a game like this (and most games, if I'm honest). The devotion to the 4X perfection of MOO2 is hugely appreciated and I have hopes that Stardrive 2 will be made playable in the near future. The game probably just needs a bigger team and about another six months in the oven. All that having been said, this is still an impressive effort from a small indie developer. non-auto combat)? That's a crashin' more often than not. Actually winning a space battle in hands-on mode (i.e. Want to start a game with a custom race? That's a crashin'. There are a fair number of rough edges all round. If you have multiple fleets around a star its sometimes impossible to click on one of them because they display in the exact same position. Even the galaxy maps aren't very friendly. That's about the only victory you can hope to see in Stardrive 2 past the first couple of random encounters with space crystals or pirates. There are all sorts of side missions that recruited NPCs offer but they require playing an annoying turn-based tactical game ala Front Mission or X-COM.but at least you have a chance of beating them if you're careful. Many aspects of the UI are vague and difficult to figure out as well as lacking polish and even the most basic of "smart" features. Forget about winning - its impossible to even keep pace with the computer.
The AI isn't just ultra-aggressive but also cheats more than just about any game in recent memory. It doesn't take very long to discover this isn't quite the case. Many aspects Stardrive 2 starts out with the enticing possibility that it really is a modern answer to MOO/MOO 2.
Stardrive 2 starts out with the enticing possibility that it really is a modern answer to MOO/MOO 2. The ground combat is turn-based, with an X-Com Enemy Unknown feel to it, which I've come to really enjoy as an entirely separate mini-game within Stardrive 2. The space combat is visually impressive and always fun to play. The ship designing and customization are definitely high points of Stardrive 2. Being able to see a newly researched weapon help your ships blaze a path of destruction across an enemy fleet in real-time combat helps to tie the entire game together and makes it feel like every decision you've made matters. The combination of turn-based empire management with real-time space combat helps to break up the pace of the game into enjoyable yet distinct pieces.
You'll meet minor species to either befriend, enslave, or exterminate. You'll engage in diplomacy and espionage with/against a variety of interesting and unique alien species all with their own agendas. You'll design and build your own starships to conquer your enemies and protect all you've gained. You'll find valuable resources to claim through colonization and exploration. You'll research interesting technologies, some of them unique to your species and others totally random in nature. Right from the start, you'll be faced with interesting events, encounters, and anomalies that will drive you to spread your chosen species farther out amongst the stars. This is definitely a game that can keep you up late at night, constantly clicking end turn just to see what lies ahead in the development and struggles of the star nation you've spent hours carefully building. I highly recommend this game for anyone looking for a galactic empire building game featuring that "just one more turn" itch that some of the great 4x games of the past have offered. This is definitely a game that can keep you up late at night, If you like Civilization style TBS games, but always wanted similar style empire building, but in space with amazing ship to ship combat.
