Game of my dreams
I have been looking for a detailed war game that is visually appealing and this delivers. It is the game I have always wanted.
This is by far the best war game I have ever seen. It is challenging getting started but once to get the hang of it it is so rewarding. The game is also very deep when it comes to pick your income style and how it impacts your planning. The multi player game is awesome.
This is like Masters of Orion, the first one, not the crappy sequels. When I was much younger I would play Masters of Orion day and night for years and never got bored, this game gives the same enjoyment.
There are some minor gripes, like you can not save during a battle but over all I am hooked on this game. Nothing like seeing a magazine explosion on a ship you just hit or secondary explosions to make you smile. Landing torpedo hits are a fun challenge too.
I was a little hesitant to get this, but once I started playing I was totally hooked. The game has a few minor issues that the development team is fixing, but that is a minor blemish on an otherwise awesome game. What I love: the atmosphere of the game, the combat is so much fun, the exploring is exciting, the inventor system is awesome (love how you can sort things), and some hilarious characters you run into. What I don't like, not enough places to explore. If you are a fan of Fallout you can not go wrong with this game.
I bought the ultimate collection and tried to play it 3 times on a 64 bit Windows Pro machine, it resulted in the system having a catastrophic failure (blue screen) and hard reboot 3 times about 5 minutes into the game. I am not impressed with the games GOG are putting on their site.
I bought this game with high hopes and now regret it after only a couple hours. The game has some game breaking bugs in it still. What I found: 1. After a short time characters refuse to use a bow even though they are capable of using one and have hundreds of arrows. 2. After completing the Nashkel mines, the Mayor is nowhere to be found breaking the story line. From what I have seen these bugs are quite old and have never been fixed.
