I really liked this game but some weird UI stuff and an abysmally slow movement speed on starter ships, meant I had to mod it just to make it playable.
Still what I did play was a really unique and engaging eldritch shipbuilding sim! Truly great flavor text throughout.
I played all the expansions to the Civ IV game but am reviewing this one for some reason. I remember really liking it. I think I've put more hours into Civ V but I just like Civ IV more for some reason.
I honestly picked this up on the strength of Koei's previous release Mark of the Ninja and while base building, resources gathering games aren't really my vibe I'm glad they found a big audience with this one. I had a pretty good time with it myself.
Technically there's nothing that puts this individual point and click adventure above the rest but the arty style, setting, music and everything else just clicks with me. I love this game.
