I first encountered the game when it was new. Loved the lore but never managed to get into it. Throughout the years, I tried again many times and always failed. Until now. And oh boy... Yes, I do recommend it, but you have to be mad. Because the game itself is mad. You have a planet, you can build factories, farms, mines, the usual assortment of units like infantry, tanks, planes, naval units, including carriers,...

This game is a wildly ambitious, old-school 4X with unmatched depth and atmosphere. It’s clunky, brutally micro-heavy, and the AI hasn’t aged well, but no other game quite blends planetary warfare, galactic politics, and gothic sci-fi like this. If you love complex, uncompromising strategy games, it’s a classic worth trying out or revisiting. If you want modern polish ... yeah, stay away....

A game so drastically ahead of its time that not even modern games attempt to do the same things that it did. Every planet in this game is a decently sized game of civilization, proceeding at the same time as the space opera 4x game, and at the same time as the capital world political intrigue game. How the hell did they even consider pulling this off in the 90s, let alone actually succeed in doing it to a degree?...

Excellent game that you can't truly enjoy unless you play with four other people on the multiplayer. Good luck finding people who won't crash out when after two months of sharing turns, you conspire with the other players to annihilate their armies and seize the crown.
