Masterpiece of its time. Really easy to be encaptured.
I always liked strategy games to play, to plan, to conquer etc.. This game brought something new to me, new experience, new ways of thinking. Not just to choose your preferred types of units, mass them as many as you can and throw into the battle. No, it's not the case. Here you've got to choose your tactic with great caution, choose what forces will guard your bases, how many units and of which type to maintain here and there, unit amount is limited for you but not for the AI. I have to say, that AI is great. It really learns from your actions. If you mindlessly attack it, it will respond, with the way it defends and the way it attacks. At one moment I've realized, that AI's fleet with more than 10 000 units attacks my border from one side, while a smaller but not too much response fleet (yes, there are also different AI fleets) attacks me from the other side. Well, that was a situation I've barely handled, with great loses up to 75 percent of my territory. Of course, AI's wake up speed depends on campaign difficulty settings, but easy win is not a challenge, is it? I've played for more than 100 hours in it and I'm going to play further. Best thing ever! P.S. I've seen some people here say about fonts and resolution. Well, I've struggled with this also and didn't find the settings at first glance, it took several minutes to find where are those settings at all :) But this game is worthy to dig in even if it takes some precious time.

The project is quite promising, but at this moment there is not much to see here. Graphics is good. Storyline - quite obvious if You open and read everything You can. About AI: 1) it's not a real AI, don't expect much from dialogs with it; 2) to perform any action You must be pretty strict in choosing words; 3) I've been talking to KZ for several hours just to find out what it can say and everything I got - the same tens of sentences but in different words; 4) attitude changes to player are clear - be polite and it will call You friend. Not actually the thing I thought it is, but I have experienced several hours of a good game, not great, but good. If You ever wanted to talk to computer, that's the right game to play. Maybe, if developers will add more story, more action, more choices and more speech freedom for AI, then this game would be very good or even great.
