Galactic Ruler

This isn't my final review but it kind of a huge oversight if the enemy captures your orbital station and you can't do anything planet side to fight back. essentially to win the game just capture all orbital stations. not sure if it space game or planet game because there is no planet to space function. feels like your playing 2 separate games that do not interact with each other. No space nukes. Your fleet gets claimed if your space station gets taken over. You can't claim your space station back if you only have planets. You start with a massive energy minus. The solution. Remove a lot of the junk on your home planet. Very basic game only 4 resources. Supreme ruler ultimate has 11. All colonies are treated as separate empires. In some sense you don't have control and more like "america" with federal system" I won't even go into the UI itself but basically something basic like clicking on stuff should open their "context" menu at least. Like clicking on a planet should open up a planet overview or clicking on a unit should show a unit popup menu. Instead the game relies on outdated lists you need to scroll though then hover your mouse over to highlight unit infomation.

we need chinese

so many bugs ive enjoyed this game but never could finish due to crashes

Prinzipiell genial. Space und Boden 4X in galaktischen Ausmaß. Leider wurde massiv Potential verschenkt. Es gibt viel zu wenig Ressourcen und viel zu wenig Gebäudearten. Etwas eintönig. Es mangelt an strategischen Reccourcen oder ähnlichem um der Kriegsführung einen tieferen Sinn zu geben. Auch kann man seine Ausrüstungsreihen und Sonnensysteme nicht umbenennen. Eine ziemlich unkluge Entscheidung. Je mehr individualisierungsmöglichkeiten desto mehr Spielspaß. Haben die Devs wohl nie was davon gehört. Alles in allem. Daumen runter.

Un jeu nul à fuir très loin !

The obvious draw is the space AND planetary gameplay (both combat and base building), and it's pretty great. The controls may seem strange if you are used to the popular 4x/grand strategy space games out there; Galactic Ruler definitely takes a different approach, being made by a wargame developer. You'd do well to watch some ArquebusX gameplay/tutorial videos on YouTube to overcome this personal hurdle. But once everything clicks, this is a really fun game! I love that each colonized planet functions as its own sort of faction and economy; it adds a lot of depth. Plus, with all the automation options, you can set this planet or that planet to be automated, and still take a more hands on approach with other planets. This is nice if you want to build up some planets manually without having to handle every single planet of your growing galactic empire manually. The need to supply energy and munitions to all units adds an extra layer of challenge and strategy. This supply concern even extends to the planetary level, with supply being provided by road/rail networks in your territory and supply vehicles in enemy territory. Nice! I'm glad I took the time to acclimate myself with this games approach/controls/ui, as there's a very rich 4x/grandstrategy/wargame experience here which isn't available anywhere else. It's like Distant Worlds lite meets Shadow Empire lite. Dope!

This game has proven really fun for me. I hope the developers continue to keep up with updates in the future. It has a lot of potential.

A good space strategy game, the ui could use some work
