It feels like a stately, cerebral empire-building game where you carefully expand and manage resources across a grand star map.

What players say
Players love the voice acting and the turn-based 4X loop, but many say the game is broken years after its last update, requiring a community patch to work. Reviews split on the value of the hyperspace lane system versus the original's free movement.
