The game then becomes predictable with the only variety coming from the actual fighting tactics.
#BEST RACE IN STARDRIVE 2 UPGRADE#
Overall the game is decent, well polished, reasonably detailed, and like other Civ games, you find your borders/territory constantly changing, but this single fleet limitation makes the game feel flat, and the ship upgrade path becomes uninteresting. My complaint is that like many RTS/4X games, there's essentually 1 right answer here, once you master it, it just becomes a routine task.
You need to intuit exactly when you should be buying new vs upgrading old, but there's a sweet spot balance between the two that's basically unstoppable. This seems to be a core aspect of the winnability of the game if you can call it that. Where the game falls down is that in each turn, a healthy empire will create money that equates to so many upgrade points per ship, or the option of purchasing a new ship. I did like the fact that there were more types of play required for this than just a straight up fight, like escaping pirates, or taking nodes and holding them a la capture the flag, it gave it a little more interest and randomness. One might be where you have to protect some unarmed ship reaching another point on the map, another might be finding a portal in a maze of asteroids that change every turn, and then there's the fleet battles.
#BEST RACE IN STARDRIVE 2 PLUS#
The other major difference superficially is that combat isn't just stats vs stats plus random.Įvery encounter or visit to an anomaly ends in a turn based strategy map showdown or maze to deal with. It's not so much that diplomacy is useful, as much as a delaying tactic. Each player can only have 1 fleet, so right off the bat you think about your empire purely in terms of reach, and your neighbouring races level of pacifism at all times. Starships: Despite the obvious Civilization aspect to the game, it isn't really.
I gave them each about a weeks worth of on/off play so that I could at least master them, and avoid a snap judgement. Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile)
