Despite that, I always have to play and review a few of them. Tough life indeed. Don’t worry, I ensure to present an unbiased and open-hearted review. So yeah, let’s dive right into the review. [h1]About This Game [/h1] [h2]Storyline [/h2] I’m not quite sure if this game actually has a solid storyline. From what I experienced, the entire game revolves around the following plot: [code]You take on the role of a Commander on whom the fate of the entire universe lies upon. Will you be successful in managing and growing your universe or will you succumb to the challenges that lie ahead?[/code] As you can see, it’s kinda a very basic plot that actually works since everything depends on the gameplay. [h2]Gameplay Mechanics[/h2] This is a turn-based space empire management game with an engaging gameplay experience. Players can begin with a simple interface and progressively expand their empire into a large civilization through resource management and technological improvements. The interface becomes more involved and complex as the game proceeds, forcing players to prioritize technology while protecting their civilization from invaders. The flexibility to customize ships to meet individual playstyles is one of Galactic Empire's notable features. This allows users to customize their ships to their liking, making the gameplay experience more immersive. Additionally, the game provides a range of starting planets and win conditions, allowing players to customize their playthroughs and streamline their technology and buildings to meet their desired playstyle. The Journal is a useful reference that helps players stay organized while playing, and the expedition mini-game is a wonderful break from the micromanagement that comes with maintaining an empire. Furthermore, the completely realized card game within the canteen adds a fun and immersive element to the game. Despite its virtues, Galactic Empire has a few flaws that beginning players may find frustrating. The tech tree and prerequisites are initially perplexing, and the invasion mechanic lacks clarity and balance. Furthermore, the game necessitates extensive micromanagement, and there are no alarms to tell players if they have overlooked something. [h2]Visuals and Sound[/h2] The game uses a very intriguing hand-drawn art style with a pleasant color palette. Not only is this a feast for our eyes, but it’s also very pleasing to look at. Right now, the entire game is 2d. It would’ve been cooler if they had taken a 3-dimensional approach so that it would feel a bit more immersive. I am not complaining though as they already nailed the 2d look. I have no complaints regarding the aural aspect of the game either. [h1]Pros[/h1] [list] [*] Amazing 2d hand-drawn artstyle. [*] A really immersive gameplay. [*] It has a lot of features and gameplay elements. [*] Everything you do has an impact in the long run. This forces players to think a hundred times before making a decision. [*] The amount of customization options available allows players to streamline everything to meet their play style. [/list] [h1]Cons[/h1] [list] [*] The game is a bit overwhelming at the start. [*] Some mechanics lack clarity and balance. [/list] [h1]Conclusion[/h1] To summarize, Galactic Empire is a strong concept with impressive imagery that could use additional refinement and QOL enhancements. It has the potential to become an entertaining and immersive experience for gamers that prefer turn-based strategy games with a few changes and patches. The big question is, is it worth the 15 Euros price tag? I mean, it does have the content to make up for the asking price. So yes, it is! Rating: 8/10 I love seeing the universe burn.

[b] **NOTE:** This review is part of my steam curator review and is the extended version. Check my steam curator page at https://store.steampowered.com/curator/39607348-Random-Game-Reviews-by-Labprofess/ . Follow appreciated! [/b] --- I'm going to be honest with you, before I played this game I never really understood grand strategy games. They used to be all over the steam store front pages. At Least for me. And I always wondered what exactly they were. Is a turn based game like a card game you play against a computer? Because that would get boring quickly. With this mindset I have started to ignore them whenever they came across me. Until I got the opportunity to review this game. The developer was nice enough to ask me if I was interested to try it out, so I took my chances, and I'm happy I did. Turn based games are nothing like I imagined them to be, quite the opposite, they are very fun! Essentially you have a turn, but the moment you're done you “continue” on to your next turn, there's no waiting involved. With this turn-based game, you are leading an empire in outer space doing typical leader things: feed your people, develop your technology and go to war. A classic. The amount of options this game lets you choose from is virtually endless. I myself haven't discovered them all yet, thinking I actually did. Ups. But I don't want to spoil the fun for you, it's really something you have to discover yourself. One of the small things I love about non high end games is that you can play them anywhere. They are so accessible, with any graphics card or CPU. Doesn't matter what, they are always available. From your gaming pc to your chromebook. This game fits into that category and that's what I love about it. I don't have to worry about whether this game is playable on my setup, I can just press the download button and start it up without worrying if my pc is going to catch on fire or not. Yet, I want to stress that this game has crisp details everywhere and no issues of lagging or stuttering. Even on the steam deck, the game manages to stay very clean and attractive to the player. This is no non high end game BUT missing textures or bad rendering type of game. And now, ladies and gentlemen, comes the highlight of my review, *drumroll*... Is the game worth it? One word answers only. Yes. Yes it is, however some things should be emphasized. First, this game features a bunch of translations. If you're planning to use one, keep in mind that while (at least for German) there are random bits here and there that will be in English. I can imagine that this will be fixed in a future update so it's not the end of the world. Secondly, while steam deck verified, and working, it's almost impossible to read on there. Yeah, don't do it. Thirdly, during the time I played the GPU usage spiked once after a new turn, causing the fan to quickly accelerate. While this didn't cause any issue, I just want to warn others that the same might happen to you but is nothing to worry about. And yea, there you have it. Will you still be planning to pick up the game? If so, good luck fellow commander!

Минус условный, т.к. почти ничего в игре еще не увидел (ну я так думаю). Тем не менее, уже виден ряд неудачных решений, например: 1. У меня ушло около 2 часов только чтобы открыть 1-й ранг цивилизации, то есть чтобы выбраться с экрана стартовой планеты и заглянуть на карту галактики. Все это время я развивал планету, начиная... со строительства угольных электростанций. Ну и до сих пор я еще не добрался ни до каких космических кораблей или баталий. Хотя ко мне прилетают и грабят. Со знанием дела быть может будет быстрее. 2. Я не буду ничего говорить про интерфейс и странные концепции, которые тут двоведется открыть. Но! Каждый ход говорить жителям какой ресурс добывать?! Дело не в отсутствии возможности зафиксировать выбор, тут действительно надо добывать то один, то другой, т.к. они могут уходить в ноль. Вопрос именно в том, а нафига такое было придумывать? Ну это примерно как играть в Ascendancy, где каждый ход можно закрепить население за какими-то строениями, чтобы повысить их эффективность. Типа игроку заняться больше нечем. Игру пока могу посоветовать только тем, кто хочет чего-то забористого. --- А впрочем, наверное эту игру можно поставить в один ряд с такими как Predynastic Egypt или Marble Age. --- Итак, доиграл до конца 5-го ранга цивилизации (всего я так понял их 7). Заняло это 270 ходов. Вердикт не меняется. 3. На моем разрешении (1920 х 1080) есть недоступный контент. В первую очередь на экране галактики. Скроллинга я не нашел. Ряд механик я так и не понял. Заисследовал экспедициями планету - что дальше, как отправиться на новую планету? Возможно на моем экране опять таки вся планета не видна. Как (и что) колонизировать? Убил все врагов на его планете - что дальше (мне пришлось отступить)? Где вообще находится моя планета во вселенной (наверное в другом измерении)? У меня есть ее координаты, но это не помогает. Не понял также с кастомизацией кораблей. Мастерская повилась давно, и в ранге цивилизации намекают что надо использовать. Но как? Кажется модули идут только спустя 2 технологических ранга. Несоответствие. Вообще, если честно, сражения не впечатлили. Те, что оборона своей планеты - получше, только вряд ли там есть баланс. А вот сражения на кораблях - такое себе. Интерфейс местами тоже бесит. Например, нельзя на карту галактик попасть с экрана галактики - надо сперва вернуться на экран империи. При этом сбрасывается фильтр. И вообще, быстрый доступ через карту отсылает в неверную систему.

Galactic Empire begins with a simple enough interface and only a handful of things to manage but as your civilization grows it quickly becomes more involved and complex, forcing you to prioritize certain technologies while trying to defend your civilization from invaders. This eventually leads you to constructing your own ships to explore the Galaxy and defeat your opponents. The ships can be modified individually, they have equipment slots allowing you to tweak them to your playstyle. The game features a couple classes and several different starting planets as well as a collection of win conditions to choose from, allowing each playthrough to be customized to your liking. These have a surprising amount of impact over the course of your playthrough, allowing you to streamline techs and buildings to cater to your playstyle. The journal is a great guide to keep me on track. I found it helped me keep things organized during my initial playthroughs and I love that I can choose my rewards, they really saved me time and time again. The expedition mini game does a good job of breaking up some of the gameplay and I like that there is an entire standalone card game available in the canteen. Similar to Gwent, it's a fully realized card game inside another game that you could chill and spend hours playing. I love the art, every card feels unique and every piece feels special. However, some of the art is a little too busy and I regularly had a difficult time telling at a glance what each card/building’s function was. Some of the art is particularly rough on colorblind players, and there are no accessibility options. Throughout my first and second playthrough I found myself having to check every individual building to remind myself of its function. Speaking of confusion, there are a couple frustrating spots as a new player. It took me quite a while to understand the tech tree and prerequisites my first playthrough. The layout seemed a little messy initially, but once I got the hang of it, it became more natural. A couple technologies have different names on different screens causing some confusion early on. I wish there was some way to quickly navigate to the related technology or building in the tool tips so I can easily determine what I need. Another frustrating point is invasions. You were warned that one is coming at some point with no real information. Eventually a fleet shows with no warning to take your resources. In my first playthrough, I had all my defenses around level 30 before the first fleet showed up. The fleet showed up walked through my defenses and took half of my resources. There was no combat tutorial and I’ve lost every invasion regardless of my defense levels every playthrough. Every couple turns after that, they showed back up and took everything I had until I lost. No indication of what rough level I should be or the strength of incoming fleets or maybe even a turn or two warning before they show up to take everything. Anything would be better than the current implementation, which is so frustrating. I don't enjoy the mechanic at all. There are quite a few menus and every turn involves a lot of clicking, there is a lot of micromanagement. As the game progresses, you unlock more systems, requiring more actions and clicking per turn and there are no alerts to warn you if you've forgotten something. Also, for some reason, every time I launch the game it loads Steam VR. Overall, Galactic Empire is a solid concept with nice art in need of some QOL, balance and polish. The framework is good, a lot of the mechanics are solid and I believe with a few tweaks and patches it will become a truly enjoyable experience throughout.

I will probably not refund a game to help this small developer, but eh, I hoped for more. After 45 minutes I am still stuck in level 0 planet building, fighting with menus and without deeper understanding how much tritium should I expect to be needed later. Also those temperatures going crazy, I also assigned random people left right up and down... they ate up all my influence and I cannot cancel or move decision back without reloading, which is a bit irritating in game where all things are turn based and click based. You can feel that game was made with vision what developer feels is fun and great, but there is 0 help with interface and information. You have to struggle badly without understanding results of your decisions a lot. I am not sure how many hours later I can get to the card game part and if it will be more fun. 5/10, game generally works and is okayish, just not fun. One of achievements is getting 1000 resources of one type, which is not that hard to do, and 33% of people who played this game got so far. Advanced start with level 1 planet pre-built, so you can start colonizing and conquering would probably help this game. For explanations, Gearcity would be a great competitor - they made Youtube videos explaining deeper mechanics and how it all works, and ingame explanations are also very detailed and informative.

https://youtu.be/tuLkmqSnSe4 [h1]OCENA: OCENA: POZYTYWNA = 7.5/10[/h1] Jest to strategia turowa (z domieszką karcianki) w której zadaniem gracza będzie rozwijać swoją cywilizację poprzez kolejne stopnie opierające się na skali Kardaszewa. Rozgrywka polega na rozbudowie potencjału gospodarczego i podejmowaniu różnych wyborów prowadzących ku zwycięstwu. Czy gra mi się podobała? Bez wątpienia tak choć do stylu artystycznego autora musiałem jednak przywyknąć. O ile sam interface wygląda dobrze o tyle już wygląd budynków czy też stacji – powiedzmy… nieco futurystycznie, kreślony ręką dziecka. Bynajmniej gra była dla mnie na tyle wciągająca, że spędziłem przy niej kilkanaście godzin tak więc z czystym sercem mogę ją polecić. To co mi się spodobało to ciekawie zrobiony sam progres gry. Wraz z rozwojem naszej cywilizacji i zaliczaniem kolejnych poziomów ewolucji udostępniane nam są nowe funkcjonalności i możliwości rozwoju. Do gry dokładane są nowe cegiełki co niekiedy wymagać będzie lekkiej reorganizacji naszych planów by skupić się na nowo odkrytych ścieżkach rozwoju. Gra należy do tytułów w których nie musimy się nigdzie spieszyć, można sobie na spokojnie przekalkulować swoje dalsze plany. Jedynym zagrożeniem są wrogie ataki ale i tak można je zbyć tracąc nieco surowców lecz prąc za to stale do przodu. Aż do czasu gdy zbudujemy wystarczająco silną obronę planetarną i zaczniemy mielić atakujące nas jednostki na zasoby surowcowe do pozyskania następnie z pobitewnych pól zniszczeń. Co mi się nie podobało? Całkowity niedosyt czułem w kwestii dyplomacji. Walki z przeciwnikami są dosyć proste i nie idzie się z nimi napocić – przynajmniej na poziomie normalnym gdy już się rozbudujemy. Siła wrogich jednostek jest dosyć niezmienna więc wystarczy wytworzyć odpowiednią siłę ognia… i wygraliśmy przy minimalnych stratach własnych. Nieco po macoszemu potraktowano tu politykę i pertraktacje jednak autor po moich kąśliwych uwagach nieco poprawił tą tematykę i teraz żądania drugiej ze stron są bardziej wyważone. Ogółem gra jest ciekawa choć nie będzie to tytuł odpowieni dla każdego. Tu trzeba pomyśleć a sama gra to tak naprawdę starcie z liczbami. Planowanie i dywagacja na co przeznaczyć zasoby by móc zdobyć ich jeszcze więcej i rozbudować kolejny budynek do wyższego poziomu. Ilość budynków jest ograniczona i sprowadza się to do podbijania kolejnych ich leveli i zwiększania tempa produkcji czy wydobycia surowców. To co zasługuje na pochwałę to balans gry oraz dopracowany interface – jego użycie jest proste i intuicyjne. Gra zapewni ci długie godziny zabawy ponieważ wraz ze skokiem cywilizacyjnym skali Kardaszewa rozgrywka wzbogaca się o nowe elementy co zmienia sam schemat rozgrywki. Mnie wciągnęło na wiele godzin a odkrywanie kolejnych zagadek było dosyć ciekawe. Jeśli lubisz gry, w których trzeba grindować, pomyśleć i planować to może być to tytuł odpowiedni dla ciebie. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2326740/Galactic_Empire/?curator_clanid=31951226 [quote][h1]Obserwuj kuratora WIDZOWIE HAKIEGO[/h1]►https://store.steampowered.com/curator/31951226/ [h1]Więcej informacji w recenzji:[/h1] ►https://hakimodo.pl/2023/01/18/r239-beacon-pines-recenzja-opowiesci-z-narratorem/ [/quote]

[h1] 游戏简介 [/h1] 《Galactic Empire》是一款2D的回合制策略游戏，它涵盖了城市建造、资源管理以及战斗等相当全面的内容。不过，虽然它的内容看起来全面，但是总给我一种大号桌游的感觉。城市发展没有实体，单种建筑只有一座，想要提高产量只需将其升级，生产出来的资源同样也只有数字的增减，这给我一种我在玩数字游戏的感觉。战斗内容也极其匮乏，胜利与否就是拼点数大小。即使《Galactic Empire》看起来简陋，内容也不够丰富，但实际上我游玩的时候却意外的有些沉迷，游戏仅需单纯的数字计算，让每一回合的决策相当快，玩家在接连不断的思考中耗费大量时间，直到清醒之后对游戏感到索然无味。 [h1] 游戏体验 [/h1] 对于一款经营游戏来说，生产与输出是两大关键。《Galactic Empire》的生产显得相当简单，回合开始选择一种生产建筑，多个回合后就能完成，玩家也不需要造多少同类建筑，资源不够用升级该建筑就行（也造不了第二个），典型的面多加水水多加面。并且只要玩家规划得当，在游戏不存在资源限制的情况下，发展飞快的同时也不用担心卡资源。科技树的解锁也简单，只限制前置建筑的等级。 以上城市营造部分没有实体建筑，因此没有了看着城市一步步发展的乐趣。取而代之的是一幅幅图案，所以游戏让人看起来就像是桌游，之所以用电脑，怕是因为数据太多太大。当然，城市不是冷冰冰的，里面同样有打工人，每一回合消耗一定的人力，生产建筑能多出一批资源，并且人力是会恢复的，只要人口还在，就不必担心压榨。 然后是经营游戏的输出端，生产出来的资源总需要有用处。本作的战斗部分应运而生。但是实在是太简陋了，虽然我没有造出舰队，但是地面防御系统就三种类型，遇到敌人来袭还是单纯的比拼大小，真有战斗场面也什么都看不到，最后只有一个冷冰冰的结果，实在让人提不起兴致探索接下来的内容。 [h1] 总结 [/h1] 除了以上谈及的内容，游戏还有探索，文明等级等更丰富的内容，但是我已经难以体验下去了。或许游戏1内容远远不止我说的这些，但是游戏的驱动力着实不够。还有中文字体也需要背大锅，花体看得眼睛疼，机翻的问题倒是可以接受。 [quote]点击关注「 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41448772//]三言两语评测」→ [/url]简洁的语言，实用的内容 [/quote]
