Endless Space Walkthrough and Review(Description)Part 4-KJS
0This is what happens when people get used to overpriced games. They see a good game for $1 and start getting suspicious. Endless Space is not the typical type of indie greenlight game trash that floats all over steam. It's a good well-developed game. Also, I hate all that "for $1 anything is good lol" reviews. So I decided to make a review myself.
The game isn't perfect. ES may be not the right choice for a newcomer to the 4x genre. It is very rough on edges and lacks proper tutorial.
Some tips for beginners.
1. Beware of pirates and random events. Events mostly negative and can be very harsh. Both can be disabled in game settings.
2. AI cheats on all difficulties starting from normal, and it likes to spam ships. Be prepared for war. However, unlike Total War series, here the AI is not so prone to backstab you. You will probably see when and why if it gets pissy.
3. LR kinetics rules.
4. For me, the most complicated thing to start with this game was a tech tree. It took me hours to figure what the final goals of my research should be. But then I just gave up and started to pick from those technologies which I could research at the moment and which would be most useful as of right now.
5. "The lines to the new systems looked wavy and I didn't know which research would let me pass it."
Those are wormholes. The game didn't explain it well. But you need to unlock Applied Casimir Effect tech from the Exploration&Expansion tech branch.
Overall I rate this game as a solid but average 4x strategy with its lowest in simplistic combat, rudimentary diplomacy.
