Eclipse - 2nd Dawn for the Galaxy

Multiplayer is dead. I didnt try with friends yet. The game is just an OK adaptation. nothing crazy. On single player, it sometimes freezes and crashes (I noticed it happens when Im in Fullscreen, and click on "go back to menu"), but (so far) the game was always auto-saved at the beginning of my turn and could resume with no issues. The game startup is pretty fast, so is an annoyance I can live with. There is one thing about the INFluence action that after checking in the manual and when I have played in the physical boardgame, seems like its a missing feature: With the INFluence action you should be able to move influence disks from your influence rack to any empty adjacent sectors to any sector you own/have a ship on. When I use the INFluence action in this PC version, it only allows me to Uninfluence sectors; but not to Influence them. Only after the combats you can influence sectors, but only if you have a ship on them, which is incorrect, as you should be able to influence them as far as its an empty adjacent sectors to any sector you own/have a ship on. Anyway I will give a thumb up because Im having fun with it, but its true that is far from being "solid".

Smooth Turorial and nice gameplay, with goo AI (with some minor bugs, though that make the game stuck)

Perfect to scratch that Eclipse itch

For those who love board games and specifically this Board Game. It's good. A few small suggestions/complaints. #1. I would like a little more graphics on the space battles. Something like 'The Birth of the Federation' type of look. The Board itself, instead of completely flat, maybe a 15 degree tilt. Lastly, the UPG (Upgrade Ships) is very small. Should be able to zoom in.

Too many bugs (not being able to influence a sector after combat, no discovery token given after winning combat against Ancients) and a completely broken multiplayer lobby (can't name game rooms, rooms and friends not showing up at all). Combat dice roll calculations cause animations to hitch a lot. Battles are boring to watch for a digital adaptation. UI is barely passable, and undoing an action is only available after the entire action is already complete (can't change your mind halfway through multiple activations). Horrible port overall, play this on Tabletop Simulator instead with real people.

Se cuelga muchas veces, por lo demás adaptación de un gran juego de mesa, un 4X muy dinámico y rápido de jugar (partidas de unos 20 minutos lo más, depende de tu PA y si sois varios), que aunque no es tan espectacular como otros juegos (un juego de mesa te lo tienes que currar mucho para que sea visualmente espectacular) engancha mucho y es imposible hacer solo una partida. Es de jugada abierta por así decirlo (no hay cartas y en todo momento puedes ver los recursos del resto de jugadores) así que se puede jugar varias personas con una misma máquina. Tengo el juego físico y es el juego con el que más juego con diferencia con mis colegas. Aún así por los fallos que tiene y las pocas expectativas por hacer que se solucione recomiendo comprarlo cuando esté por 5 pavinis o menos.

Game just doesn't hold up on a PC. A few repeated plays and this game becomes very boring.

My highest recommendation. Any number of players (2-6) makes for a good game. Supreme replayability due to the randomness of technology availability and system exploration. The ultimate space 4X game. NOTE: If the game doesn't let you populate planets in a system you conquered, it's not a bug -- you had no more colony ships available.

Constant crashes and it doesnt do the boardgame justice. Boardgame is way more fun.

If you haven't played Eclipse do yourself a favour and get this game. It is one of the most engaging boardgames ever made, and it's even more enjoyable on PC. And please don't torture yourself with the Tabletop simulator. While this version does have minor bugs, it still a far smoother and enjoyable experience than the TS jank.
