Possibly the best IP in the past decade of post-apocalyptic RTS games. Setting/Art is incredibly good, storytelling delivers adequately, diplomacy mechanics are straightforward, easy to understand and not too in-depth so you can focus more on strategy, and combat is the best part of it. However Price tag should be less than $40(More like $30 tops).

Nice 4k Turn based game. feels pretty polished and they promised more to come! It is a challenge if you are use to Gladius (a previous title of theirs) a big difference in this game is neutral armies and cities which will lead to a climatic show down between all three neutral sides. Including titan sized units. So pick a side or go solo against them if you think you can - (more power to you if you can) over all 8/10 and pretty damn replay able.

The game is great. The whole vision is very refreshing and unique. Just need to be balanced. The most important problem -- the game ends with victory while I was in the middle of my tech tree playing on hard level. Also flying units are very expensive but slower and less effective than early land units. I would play again if they introduce more AI players and more quest.

If you've ever played 40k Gladius it is much the same with direct improvements in nearly all regards. The theme is quite enjoyable, sound is good, music is nice. All units have voicelines compared to gladius which imo adds so so much to the game. The only minor downside I have is because its newer there's not as many units with Gladius and all its DLC but that's soon to change :)

Honestly, a great game. I didn't have issues with performance, bugs, or anything game breaking. It doesn't over-promise anything and delivers quality random matches. Even if the players or ai can be the same match to match I keep finding different wrinkles to them. And the nature of the game being built around a city rebuilding post-futuristic apocalypse is such a different flavor that only in a brief description does it sound like something else. I do think diplomacy could be improved. One of my playthroughs I was allied with B Faction, met C Faction and started trading with them and so on. I end up helping my ally fight their war against D Faction, while continuing our mutual war against E. Things progress rather well with C Faction and yet they refuse every gift and/or invitation to the alliance. They're neutral with my ally too. I could've understood if they were at war. I would've thought being the weakest faction they would want to join an alliance with the two strongest factions in it. Repeated playthroughs have seen similar results start to shake out. I don't have a ton of time in the game. Only a couple of scenarios did I really progress to completion and dominate the map to essentially win. But I hope this game continues to grow and do well, both in more official content, and in the modding community. It is really great to see something, at least to my knowledge, original, done well, and not overpriced.

This game has a problem on a conceptual level. Building is slow. You generally play from 3 cities (2 put you into too much of a disadvantage), but because of how loyalty system is set up it means that you will spend about 30 turns of production just stabilizing your base. Coupled with tech requirements to begin expansion that means you will come online around turn 70, and because of how snowbally combat is your game will functionaly end in about 30 turns from there. Meaning, about 70% of your in-game time is a neutered sim city. But that by itself is no reason for a negative review. The fact that Gladius by the same dev exists is. Gladius is a much better experience, because lack of variety on strategic level is somewhat mitigated by an abundance of rather unique factions and immersive wh40k setting. Zephon on the other hand is... lacking in this department. And somehow tech options are also such a downgrade. They were never that amazing in Gladius, +2 ore on ore production building is not exciting. Well in Zephon it's +1.5! And only if your extractor is built on cliff.

Initial impression good to excellent. Setting is amazing, units look unreal. Needs more unit variety per faction / affinity tho And I don't love the everyone gets everything tech tree, but I suppose it means there are some cool combos in the game?? End game crisis is interesting one or two times then kind of meh honestly. Needs a rework imho. But def like 40 hours of fun if you like large map slugathons... (where you can delay or disable end game if you want)...

Don't waste that Civ7 refund money! Try this, you'll like it! A lot of potential, well crafted and engaging. If you need to scratch a 4X itch, THIS is it. Can't wait for expansions but the game is AWESOME as is. Wish I could have said the same about civ7(sad).

The thing with this game is it's not bad, but not good either. Especially when compared to its predecessor, Gladius. If you haven't played that one, yet, I can see no reason to get this one first. Zephon is just alright. Nice graphics, passable world-building, okay gameplay. Just can't bring myself to outright "recommend" it.

Was a little skeptical, but decided to give this a try after refunding Civ 7 and boy I'm glad I did. It looks great, sounds great, plays great, and once you get the hang of the mechanics its addictive as heck.
