Stellar Empires Reviews

I might recommend this game on a deep discount, but not otherwise. It is a fast-paced, bite-size area control game. It's shiny but thematically a bit bland. There's a reasonable variety of maps (also including a random option). The AI opponents seemed fairly challenging even on easy difficulty. Good for a few hours of a reasonably fun challenge. There is also a tutorial to get you started, which is presented well. I didn't notice any bugs though I didn't try playing multiplayer. Things keeping this review negative: -Some planets and moons have names belonging to Star Wars and other IPs. Obviously without permission. -There are a number of spelling and grammar errors. -Match settings are not persistent and need to be re-entered whenever setting up a new match. Since matches are quick, this is more of a nuisance than it would be otherwise. -There is an upgrade/buff system implemented in the game but it is too fiddly to really use effectively; due to the fast-paced nature of the game it needs to be presented in a quick-to-understand, quick-to-use manner. It currently is not. -It's a bit hard to see the map as a whole to quickly see what threats are where. It would be good to be able to zoom the view out further, but without shrinking the GUI.
