Relativity Wars - A Science Space RTS Reviews

The intro video for this game already has me falling in love with it. A masterpiece!

I asked for a refund. No full screen option, simplistic gameplay and a rubbish port. If it changes, I might buy it again.

Fantastic little game, very enjoyable for a simple game. A must get.

I really wanted to like this game, but the interface is way too clunky for it to be enjoyable.

Fairly fun if a bit slow and repetitive feeling. Pretty fun for time-wasting, but not quite enough content to really get into.

I'm really enjoying this so far. I like that its origional and it has a kind of "hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" feel about it. + Fun strategic battles + Origional + Good variety so far - Interface can be a bit clunky at times - Takes a little while to get properly going Overall fun, interesting and recommended

Ehh. Nothing really interesting. A game from the 80s with some graphics updates. Sure, I guess it uses some basic relativistic equations (Lorentz transform seems to be used) but the game mechanic doesn't really have much to do with relativity at all. It's just shooting shit in space and building things.

I really like this game - clever concept, good use of physics and relativity. The interface is a little clunky, and could use some work to make it easier to do multi-planet tasks, like: * Build at all planets * Patrol/Attach from all planets * Colonise all available planets

I've been working with relativity for a while now, and so this game intrigued me immensely, mostly in that, I have been considering making a game on similar principles. However, it has so distilled down the actual physics of relativity that it doesn't actually represent relativity as science currently or in the future should suggest it works. The space-time fabric that it uses is: a) too coarse, so it doesn't give you the sense that a solar system is itself a giant bowl, but rather represents it like a bunch of balls sitting on a rubber sheet each intenting the sheet locally, but not particularly much as distance increase. (Hint: gravity falls off approximately equal to r^2, which is a paraboloid, not a small dent in the space-time field) b) so massively effected by space-time distortion weapons, that you're effectively creating gravitational weapons that do hojillions more space-time manipulations than your ships, planets, and galactic black hole do. Next, the scale is so unbelievably small, that it's like beach balls rolling around on a trampoline... it's like, "ok, these things are pretty big, but... they're not really doing anything... why are they orbiting like that?" Basically, for wanting to replicate real-world relativity, they've done a pretty poor job of it.

A reasonably good casual RTS game. The gravity aspect adds and interesting dimension (no pun intended). Worth getting if on sale. Not sure that it's worth full price, but fairly entertaining nonetheless.
