Build and expand a space-faring race who learns they are not alone in the universe.
Master of Orion - (1993 game) but with updated graphics and a confusing interface. I expect would have loved this in the past, but now it's just awkward. I'll still tag this as 'liked', as it's pretty good. It's very hard in the eyes. Take a lot of breaks.
Extremely stupidly hard.. and confusing. I'm shelving it. I only paid $12 USD for it, so it's not a big loss.. still, I wish the UI was better and the tutorial was better and the gameplay was better..

- Crazy-long load time.
- Well things to changed.. and mostly for the better. There are invulnerable outposts now.
- I can't find anything that gets mentioned. A faction wants to talk? But who is that? Where are they?
- Something mentions a place, but where is it?
- The situation log doesn't pick up some items.
- Even the occasional idle science vessel is a pain in the ass to discover.. I've had them sitting idle for months.
- I sit there like an idiot when the game is paused. It's not obvious enough.
I ran out of energy, and it makes no sense. I get an outpost, mine some energy.. and continue in a moderate patch. It should pay for itself and a bit more. I guess it's a high population or something? I only had three planets though (and I couldn't find more..)
** This is the deal breaker.

With that opening music, I like it already.
- One of the opening songs is based upon a song from Tron - Legacy - (2010 movie). Absolutely for sure.
- Filling in information for a new account just drops me back at the same new account screen.
- KeePassXC's
control-v
doesn't work to fill in the login form. Thetab
doesn't get recognized, even though it works with me pressing it manually. -
Upon starting the game, the music just cuts out.
- It ought to continue, fade out, and be replaced with a load screen music playlist.
- A long opening load screen. Will this be the case every time?
- Nice load screen music.
- The load screen's final few percent are very fast, and then it hangs on 100%
-
Race creation is interesting, though clumsy in places.
- Creating a human, and then switching between alternate humanoids and then back to the human, its portrait changes away from the default.
-
Our AI is called 'Vyr', which is great for people who watched Babylon 5 - (1994 show)
The tutorial:
-
How do I "select our science ship"?
- How do I "select the vessel in the outlier"?
- Oh god, it took a while to figure that out.
- It should specify how to start the game..
-
It's ultimately clumsy.

Can't select multiple science ships to have them survey a system. Have to pause, select one, have it survey, then select them all and have them survey.
Well basically this is a clumsy version of Master of Orion - (1993 game) or Armada 2525 - (1991 game).
