games website "Endless Space" review - Strategising in the vast universe

    Endless universe, vast space

    Recently, just out of the "Empire of the Sun" large expansion, followed by the "Mass Effect 3" also out of the repair of the end of the DLC, at the same time we "EVE" national service opened again, and the upcoming release of the "Centauri"... Coupled with this Endless Space game, it looks like this summer will usher in a cool space game.

    Endless Space is a 4  game. X elements complete turn-based strategy games, in the "Galactic Civilization", "Space Empire", "Sidelmeier's Alpha Constellation" and other older generation of space turn-based strategy games, do not come up with some strength is not enough. This game has been advertised on major foreign websites before the launch, hung on the home page for a few days, and looks confident.

    Infinite Space was produced by Amplitude Studios, based in Paris. Their mission is to "make the best strategy game", although the gimmick is loud, but this "endless Space" seems to be their independent production of Virgo.

    Since it is Virgo, we should have a good experience, hey hey.

    One,   Musically superior

    Home screen plus BGM, very nice

    The general evaluation must first say configuration ah, screen and so on, but the moment I entered this game I was shocked by his background music, melodious saxophone (?) With the background of the infinite universe, the sense of substitution of the classical space style immediately infuses into the brain from the hearing and vision, which shows that the production team has made some efforts to grasp the feeling.

    After entering the game, the background music is also very beautiful, unfortunately, the overall number of tracks in the game is small, and it begins to cycle after a while, for a turn-based strategy game, this shortcoming may make impatient players cut out and open thousands of silent listening.

    Two,   The configuration is not high, the picture quality is general, and the 3D strategy game is often poisoned

    Under the adjustment of my GTX460 this mid-range graphics card, the minimum effect and the maximum effect of the frame number is exactly the same, and although this game is 3D, but the space effect still uses the traditional flat universe - that is, there is no deep space, warships and ships close, you will see very obvious dog teeth.

    But if you're a believer in the idea that strategy games don't need graphics, there's no harm in trying. However, it is worth saying that although the picture quality of Endless Space is general, his illustrations and original paintings are first-class, and the color has the style of warhammer 40K, but the ship setting is more close to Star Wars.

    Quality illustration

    You may be very concerned about my last one, first of all, 3D strategy games have a common problem - that is, in large maps, multi-AI games, if the battle is not solved for a long time, then the game as a whole will become more and more dun card, players who have played civilization and the whole war must be deeply felt, I do not have deep research in this area, do not know his causes, But I know that 3D strategy games have this problem.

    In this game, I choose to play against 1 player plus a small map, at the beginning of the round all need to wait very obviously, it can be seen that this game to play to the late absolutely card to make people speechless.

    Three; Operation, and I don't call it "Sidelmeier's Infinite Space."

    The Settings are pretty good

    First of all, as a turn-based strategy game, if the teaching and tips are not delicate enough, new players will soon give up, the teaching of this game is very blunt (do not think that it is space science fiction to play hard), it feels very much like the instructions sent to buy games in the past, and the instructions are obviously happy to see everyone will not read, and the teaching has no voice assistance.

    Okay, well, it's her Virgo, so it makes sense not to have money. However, I looked at the large section of English and immediately understood that if this game does not come out of the Chinese patch, it will soon sink into the sea of mainstream games.

    How many players have skipped this? Have you.

    I can't really say for the second one, because its elements (food, joy, productivity, technology), and some of the larger game flow (there are prescribed "actions" that must be completed in each turn) are a little similar to the Civilization series, if the game is played from planet to planet instead of the entire star map as a big map. Then it really could be called "Sidermeier's Infinite Space."

    (4) The details are not deep enough, and this game is a good way to pass the time

    I said this game 4X elements are complete, but in many places he is to the point, this high is not low is not know how different levels of players will feel.

    Let me give you an example.

    One of the highlights of the game is the setting of the ship, but the setting of the ship is too simple and a little unreasonable. As long as the weight is satisfied, the various components are installed at will, you can install all the reflectors to make a "turtle battleship", or install all the artillery missiles to become a "hedgehog spaceship".

    This is a good example in the old space empire: the weight of the ship is there, and it is divided into three decks, and each part of the installation is required, although the design of the ship is more cumbersome, but it will not appear "tortoise" and "hedgehog".

    Above is "Endless space", below is "Space Empire 5", the quality of the other, look at the content of the inside to see the level.

    In addition, playing this game if there is an operation error can not continue, he does not give tips (in addition to not ending the round other basic no tips), and we need to players to find where the error, do a prompt board can die.

    In the hot summer of July, the recent period of time just happens to be a time when games are dry, if you are a strategy game lover and English level is good, you can play two games to relieve the heat. Do not touch the angry censored party, head fever beware of heat stroke...

    Our galaxy map is pretty cool, but it doesn't cover a lot of ground.
