    Legends brings you a living breathing galaxy to explore. I has great depth and a very good storyline that will give you many hours of enjoyment. Beginning from the start you must build ships, research and explore for planets or resources while maintaining a budget. Along the way you face many obstacles including pirates, space creatures and other alien races. Negotiate trade agreements orLegends brings you a living breathing galaxy to explore.

As you expand a story will develop that will give you hints on the troubles you will face. A very good game in my opinion. Expand

    Distant Worlds has ruined me for other space-based 4X-strategy games, which is a genre I love more than any other. I try to go back to GalCiv and MoO once in a while, but nothing matches the scale and minute level of control that Distant Worlds offers. I'll be playing this for years to come.

    This game comes at a premium price no doubt, asking for $80 for a package of the main game the 2 (almost necessary) updates put it in a higher echelon of prices but now that I have it and have put some time into learning it I can definitely say this game is the real deal!

    This game comes at a premium price no doubt, asking for $80 for a package of the main game the 2 (almost necessary) updates put it in a higher echelon of prices but now that I have it and have put some time into learning it I can definitely say this game is the real deal!

    If you enjoy conquering space in your own way by building a ridiculous fleet of steel, or letting the AI handle the performance for you (which is does very well) then you should definitely give this game a chance. The game feels natural and unforced, it's a very deep and varied system of politics, science, and expansion. Very fun to play.

    I won't compare this 4X titan to others in the genre but I can say that this game stands on its own very easily. This is one of the very best sci-fi 4x games, even though it's basically unheard of. Give this game a chance you won't regret it!

    Great game, i really love the depth in it. If it had GFX like homeworld it would be a real Legend! 4x Space fan? Don't miss it, you will be suprised after you get used to the graphical interface and somehow old GFX style.
