Galactic Ruler offers real time strategy game play at both planetary level and in space! Lead your faction in diplomacy or conquest across a procedurally generated galactic map where any system might hold hostile enemies or resource riches.
Extremely counterintuitive and inconvinient UI with some major bugs. I spent more time fighting and figuring UI than I spent playing.
Examples of why I think it's counterintuitive:
- Right clicking planet allows you to build facilities but not ships despite both being built on the same planet
- Selecting shipyard does not lead to construction menu in...
It's Supreme Ruler... IN SPAAAACE! So if you don't like Supreme Ruler, you won't like this. The devs have a very specific outlook on interface design and how players should interact with their units. Some people like the way they do it, some people don't. But if you've ever thought "Maybe I should try Supreme Ruler, but holy moly that looks complicated..."...
Just a reskin of the original SR series. Even the tech tree has the available date for starting techs as 1913. This is way to unfinished even for early access.
I've been pretty faithful to Battlegoat.....
For $39,99, and "still being built", I find it disappointingly unfinished and totally unacceptable. I was expecting much more from Battlegoat.
Sacrificing graphics for AI would be acceptable, except the AI is terrible, the graphics are terrible, game play is terrible.
They flatly released an unfinished product...
I'll start by saying it really pains me to give this game a bad review. I love BattleGoat Studios. I love what they've been doing, I love, for all it's quirks, the Supreme Ruler titles. And I do love space-themed 4X games.
Tl/dr: This game is a miss. If you don't know and love this studio already, do yourself a favor and buy Supreme Ruler: Ultimate...
