 Ok but February 6, 2010

definately a game for the hardcore gamer....not the couple hrs every once in a while play a game guy. A lot of possibilities with customizing but personally prefer something more like civilization....but its relatively cheap and worth taking a shot at it if you love games like civ and want more more more....
 Space Empires Continues to Impress January 30, 2009

I've played several of the previous generations of SE, and this one still has the same elements that made the others fun.
The obviously more updated graphics and play options make the game look more sophisticated than it has ever looked before.
I love playing this.

Personally I got hooked on the Space Empires series through the demo for SE IV. Shortly thereafter, SEV came out. When I noticed the games price had dropped from the last time I checked, I decided it was time to purchase the full game. The game itself has a few balance issues which can be corrected by utilizing player created add-ons. All player created add-ons (there are many) are easy to find over the web, and have great support with them for troubleshooting. There is a very active and good online community for this game, both for getting solo play tips, as well as to find players for multiplayer games.

The amount of choices is astounding. I really love the tech tree and the ship design elements of the game. I' m torn between the SE4 and SE5 fighting styles. Wish there was a way to combine the best of both.That being said the game bogs down by the sheer number of planets and ships you have and it can become very difficult to keep track of everything.Especially after saving the game and not playing in awhile.
Another problem to me any way, is it takes a long time to initially get enough techs to build ships that are worth while to upgrade. I.E. Bigger hulls. I don't mind that so much but the problem I have is when the bigger hulls start coming they now come to fast. By the time I have actually built my first bigger hull, I am able to build 1 or 2 levels higher tech wise than the hulls that are now being built,making the new ships instantly obsolete. I would like to get a little use out of the hulls before I'm replacing them.

The game itself is good except in several areas. First is that I could not figure out how to redesign colonies by demolishing buildings. Second is that the tech-tree is very poor. Third is that the ship design is very time intensive due to poorly designed interface. Fourth is that the game slows down quickly. Fifth is an unhelpful manual.
1. The demolition of buildings is negative in my mind because if you build research colonies and then you complete the tech-tree, you are stuck with colonies that make no real contribution to your empire.
2. Their is no real assitance in helping you to assess what tech discovery will lead to what future development. The biggest annoyance of this to me was that when playing with NO WARP POINTS, their was no assistance in figuring out what technology would allow me to create them to escape my home system.
3. I found the ship design to be a little bloated, everything is there together. Guns, missiles, colony bases etc. are all in the same queue. Their is a filter button, but having to constantly go across the screen to get to it, scroll and select is kind of a pain and is time consuming when you could be spending time playing the game.
4. Despite that I have plenty of RAM, a good graphics card and a fast processor, based on the game elements it seemed to slow down very quickly and overall went much more slowly than expected. For any potential buyer whose played Pax Imperia Eminent Domain, this game goes much slower.
5. I consulted the manual to try to figure out how to demolish buildings, and to try and find out what line of technologies I needed to discover for warp point creation to allow expansion. After a very long time of looking through what is a large manual, I could find no answer to these two questions.
Aside for these five problems, the game is a good game. If those elements were overcome I would say a great game, but those five things brought down the enjoyment of the game for myself. I am neutral on this game and would just say buy it at your own risk, I'd say you have a 50/50 chance of loving it or hating it.

If you love technology, play online poker and have fun with your computer.
It's clear which online casino strives to keep ahead of the technological curve and which ones slack off behind. For the most part, the online casino that likes to stay ahead is also the one who is the most reliable, offers the best promotions and customer service. |
