Not very fun
This is one of the worst Star Wars games recently added by Gog. Sadly, this 4X game falls short in every aspect compared to the good games of the genre, even old(er) ones like the Master of Orion series or the newer ones like Galactic Civilizations, Endless Space, etc. The gameplay is the problem, everything is very slow paced and it's really not a fun game to play. Sure, managing imperial fleets and sending them to a system to war is fun but compared to the fun i've had with better games...it did feel pretty bland. I remember a friend being a big fan of this game when it came out but he didn't play Master of Orion II...I had. And i remember, even at the time, i felt very disappointed by the game...even the graphics won't save the boring gameplay as they were already outdated when the game came out. Overall, i'd say save your money unless you're a great fan and need every star wars game here OR need it because you loved it back in the day. Else, there are better games both from the Star Wars universe and the 4X genre here on GOG to buy first.
