Idle Expanse

Boring, repetitive missions

Das Spiel "Idle Expanse" ist ein Freizeitspiel. Man schickt Raumschiffe ins Weltall und versucht unterschiedliche Planten zu erforschen bzw. zu erobern. Man kann das Spiel aktiv und im Idle-Modus spielen. Das Grundkonzept ist im Großen und Ganzen ok. Die Performance ist für ein Idle-Spiel brauchbar. Grobe Fehler kann man nicht erkennen. Warum ich dem Spiel leider eine negative Bewertung geben muss ist,dass Spiel ist eines Tages einfach abgestürzt und der Spielstand war daraufhin irreparabel zerstört. Auch durch rumprobieren und durchforsten im Forum war keine Lösung zu finden. Nach 250 Stunden Spielzeit ist das sehr ärgerlich,dass man wieder von 0 starten soll. Die restlichen End-Game Errungenschaften sind daher nur noch durch einen neuen Spielstand möglich.

Meh... Very user-unfriendly. As if it were the first game the developer had ever made. Long before he knew how to do it right. It feels like user-friendliness was never considered.

[h3]Idle Expanse?[/h3] Ah, you like to chill and come back from time to time, while the game is playing alone for you? Well, that's an Idle game so it follows this idea! But let's enter a bit more into it. Through the game, you will unlock several technologies, upgrades, level up your mercenaries (that you employ first), improve their gears and else, with the goal to be the best empire with the biggest income! For sure, the idle part is splitted between what can happen (or not) when you are connected to the game or disconnected. Basically, when you are [b]disconnected[/b], the game collects the ressources during all the time. But there is limit at the beginning that you can expand later. When you are [b]connected[/b], your mercenaries can level up, you can buy new upgrades, you can earn new contracts, earn cristals (that are quite rare).... So yes, basically, if you want to progress in the game, you will try to be the farthest possible before disconnecting (so you accumulate more ressources). At the beginning, it is like other games, you unlock little by little new stuff, new planets, new upgrades, ... then reaching a point, you need to "return" to 0, but earning some points to have some upgrades for your new run. So after time, you can even skip the starting phase to reach high levels. If it is quite nice for an idle game, I feel that some points could still be improved. The music is nice but not frequent, which is sad. Also, when you try to reach the end of the game, you will have less and less stuff to do, just connecting, improving, waiting for the level up, improving, and again in loop. That's the idle part, but you seem to have less and less to do, the more you play. Let's review a bit more the pros and cons. [h3]The Pros[/h3] - A nice start of the game, with a nice evolution. it makes you want to improve your mercenaries, unlock new stuff. - The music is nice, in the mood of the game in space. - The game is free. You can reach the end without paying anything. The DLC are here to help you by giving additionnal upgrades. And if you don't want upgrades (and want to do it without help), you can always buy the Soundtrack to support the team - You can still have an impact on the game by collecting with your mouse on the maps, but I must say I became quite bored with the time. It will help if you want or plan to speedrun the game, but otherwise, some upgrades will do the job in the mid-game. [h3]The Cons[/h3] - After reaching the mid-game, you start to watch less and less your game. It runs in the background, but you nearly need to play it to progress, compared to the beginning where you had some interactions. - Some of the achievements are quite hard to get. Sorry achievements hunters, you can grab some of them easily, but the 100% is not for everyone. - Some of the DLCs seem to not add that much to the game, not helping really much (and seem like a bad investment => on my view). [h3]Conclusion[/h3] If you like Idle Game, clickers and else where you know you will spend some time on it, you can go on this one. It should fill what you're looking for. For achievements hunters, I can recommand it to you too but be careful to not get trapped, trying to reach some long achievements by mistakes. For those who are looking for actions and nice stories, sorry, but it's not here that you will find it.
