Recenzje Shadow Empire

4X wargame fusion. Damn good, waaay complex.

Phenomenal game. It's impossible to break away. Fenomenalna gra. Nie można się oderwać.

The most complete strategy game I have ever played. If you want to feel like a faction commander in the wastelands of Fallout or other post-apo, you have to play it.

Wspaniała gra! Jedna z najlepszych w jakie grałem w całym życiu, a trochę się już grało ;-)

If you like complex strategy war games in a sci-fi setting, this is probably the best game you can get. Economy and war strategy are equally important and equally complex in this game, with is quite unique feature. Many people say that Shadow Empire has very clunky and bad UI, what is kind of true but you can get used to that and enjoy the game. Graphics are minimalistic and retro style, what you can like or not depending on your taste. AI could be better and there is some space for improvements but it is decent enough. Overall score 8/10 with 10/10 potential after some improvements.

Trudna i ma sporą barierę wejścia, ale daje dużo satysfakcji. Co do minusów, za dużo powtarzalnych zdarzeń i system strategemów jest nudny, a większości nie da rady w żaden sposób odpalić, dyplomacja też jest trochę skopana, ekonomia tak pół na pół, jeżeli chodzi o pozyskiwanie surowców i produkcję to bardzo rozbudowana i sensowna, gorzej z systemem monetarnym i handlem. Plusy to system odkryć, zarządzanie budżetem, eksploracja, badania, logistyka i walka. Przede wszystkim logistyka - ten element jest tutaj kluczowy i bardzo mocno rozbudowany.

A lot of interesting and unique ideas, especially with the strategem (card) system, but the game needs a TON of work. Playthrough mostly consists of 80% drowning in useless information, and 20% doing moves that actually matter. Prime example of a pointless system: politics and offices. Not once did I feel like decision of who holds what office had any impact on my game. Your advisors have a dozen of skills that all don't matter at all in a grand scheme of things - supposedly they help with dice checks for some game events and strategem cards, but when an event occurs you can always pick an option that doesn't require a skill roll and be perfectly fine. The worst system of the game is, ironically, the card system. There are some great and sensible designs for cards that provide ad-hoc boosts, like card allowing you to build casions, gladiator pits, bribe militias, boost morale, get free AI units, etc., which you have to research by allocating your spending budget to different areas, or by leveling up your civilization. Great stuff. But why in the world are major diplomatic options like suing for peace, or opening communication channels locked behind cards? Is peace an unknown concept to all my foreign affairs ministers? Am I not allowed to send a diplomat over the border until I "research" this extremely novel idea? Similarly bad are the negative cards, which in exchange for getting a hit to your economy and/or stability provide you with a special resource to play the best cards (liek the ones mentioned above). They're all poorly designed in a way in which it doesn't matter what the card says, you should always play it and take a hit unless you're in a war and losing, as regardless of the negative effect, the special points you get in return are always worth it. Shame, as there was clearly a lot of effort put into the game, but here are much better options on the market imo.

Shadow Empire is a feast for those who crave truly deep, intricate strategy experiences. Its procedurally generated worlds are vast and teeming with detail, from unique factions with their own histories and goals to the nuances of terrain and climate. The systems that power these worlds are staggering: logistics, economics, warfare, and politics all intertwine on a level that demands careful consideration of every move. This is a game where the 'how' often outweighs the 'why'. Characters may be merely functional pawns, lacking in personality, but the sheer act of wrangling your chosen faction through this complex world provides its own narrative. You'll build armies, research technologies, maneuver supply lines, and engage in tense diplomacy, all with consequences that cascade through the game's many interconnected systems. Be warned, the learning curve is steep. The dated interface can be off-putting, and the emphasis on reading and understanding mechanics will not be for everyone. If you're willing to invest the time, and are more enthralled by systemic complexity than visual flash, Shadow Empire rewards with an experience of unmatched strategic depth. In Short: Pros: Incredibly deep world generation, staggeringly complex systems and mechanics. Cons: Dated graphics, characters lack depth, overwhelming complexity for newcomers. If you hunger for a strategy game that rewards long-term planning and meticulous execution over visual spectacle, Shadow Empire might just be your holy grail.

Rewelacja - strategia doskonała. Grafika i interface może być bolesny dla osób urodzonych po 2000 ;-)

Gra jest bardzo trudna, ale właśnie takiej gry szukałem. Twórcy włożyli serce w tą produkcję, co widać po skomplikowanych opcjach, powiązaniach itd. Masa opcji, statystyk, danych, wykresów, decyzji, zakładek... nie wiem kiedy to ogarnę, a zabawę już zaczynam 4 raz - uczę się. Bardzo podoba mi się połączenie strategicznej gry heksowej z ekonomią, polityką i rozbudową własnej frakcji - trochę przypomina kultową Civ 1. Mamy tu możliwość budowania miast, dróg, budynków, jednostek, mamy drzewko technologii i całą masą różnych decyzji do podjęcia. Jak dla mnie, bomba! Gra warta wydanych 114 zł. Polecam!!!
