StarDrive is a 4X Action-Strategy game where the goal is to build a space empire. Starting with a single planet and a small number of space-worthy vessels, you forge out into the galaxy, exploring new worlds, building new colonies, and discovering the StarDrive universe. The heart of StarDrive is its ship design and combat engine. StarDrive takes a module-based approach to ship design, allowing the player to create custom ship designs where the composition and placement of ship modules really matters to the performance of a ship in combat. In combat, if your portside armor is taking a beating, then rotate around and show them the starboard side! Hide behind a friendly capital ship's shields, warp into and out of the fray, launch fighters, lay mines, and so much more.

Right now, for every thing I like about this game, I find something too dislike. Mainly in the generic clone that this game is at the core. Which is fine, if the content is there, but I honestly don't see it, even more so which the AI being so bad.

Can see it's coming along nicely. Never really liked having to manually choose buildings in 4Xs but the rest of the gameplay seems pretty well done. Like the combat and ship design, particularly.

This has a lot of potential. The current rating is based only on the Alph as it is and it is a work in progress. I will re rate the game once it is released.

Game needs ALOT of work. but it's not bad looking. If the UI was a little more self explanatory, and the buttons actually did things. Maybe if there was a in game tutorial mission, it might of gotten a higher score.
My scoring will get higher as more work is put into making this game more playable, but for now, this is where it stands.
update: The game is seeing a bit of work, and I have confirmed that the subject of the above critique is actually being fleshed out. With that being said, this game is quite ambitious, and I hope this game keeps getting worked on.
