It is a wonderful game, shame the company was treated badly before.
It's... A good game, I suppose... Not the best... There are a lot of issues and problems. It feels too roughly thrown together. For instance, you literally have no idea when another empire declares war on you unless you check the Diplomacy screen every 5 seconds. And your research goes way too slow, even on Normal difficulty the enemy empires seem to advance with a handicap mode on. I'd give it 6.5/10
Looks good but in some images it looks like there is a lot info showned trought text, and icons are always easily seen, so less text more icons.
The tutorial is sooo long, but good. Maybe it would be better to divide it a bit, I was overwhelmed.
StarDrive seems alot better than this.
I dont think this video really does the game justice. It's a good game.
Will the race-customization be even more in-depth? like, the ability to add your very own race image and icon? :) Just wondering, since i LOVE customization :D and btw, even though i suck at it, this game is AWESOME!
you can add them in via mods, check around the forums for details, cause that's all i have.
If you can see it in your lpay tab, the desura application should be able to install the mod to the correct location
Hmm, Desura really *should* find Atom Zombie Smasher in
steamapps\common\atom zombie smasher
Just like Star Ruler should be found in
