    A game with potential. It had a lot of interesting ideas and I was inclined to give it a shot. Little did I know what was in store for me...

    The first hour of my time with the game was pleasant. Then, the game crashed for no reason. "Oh well", says I, "at least I've got autosave". "No, you don't", Star Ruler 2 answered, "in fact, you don't get any working savefiles. Ever." I tried. I    A game with potential.

    I tried. I experimented. I looked around on the forums, Steam and otherwise, for a solution. The result of this search was almost a bigger upset than the original issue: The issue has been around for months and the developers stopped responding entirely and before that, all they did was point to mods, old drivers or hardware incompatibility for any and all issues (none of which even remotely apply to me).
    If the devs can't be bothered to fix this, neither can I (if there even is a fix).

    On a positive note, Steam's refund system works like a charm.    … Expand

    I played many 4x games. Ranging from Master of Orion to the Endless Space.
    More horrible art and design interface I've yet seen.
    The entire game runs on rule - send all resources to the capital, about the rest of the planet forget.
    Very boring..

    Its obvious based on the lack of posts, community, and online presence, that I am not the only one who thinks this game was a miserable excuse for a sequel. Much like supremecommander 2 and sword of the stars 2. Miserable tech, combat, and colonization systems that were designed for strategic rejects who would do better playing chess or stratego

    With its massive scale, broad customization, and entirely solid core, Star Ruler 2 has everything that you’d expect from an indie-developed 4X strategy title and then some.

    Star Ruler 2 delivers a unique, fascinating experience despite its reliance on sometimes obtuse systems.

    When it comes to the realtime elements Sins of a Solar Empire is more defined. But the economical and political aspects of the galactic conquest make this one an interesting choice. Not to mention the individual construction of your fleet. There is enough substance to spend a lot of time in this universe.
