Shadow Empire

Is it any good? I don't have enough time to sink into a game and discover it's shit.

    It's a wargame + fallout/dune + 4x. If you like all of those, it is good. If you don't like those, it is bad.

    Why is it so difficult for a space 4X game to have an in-between of planetary combat that isn't autistic spreadsheet simulationism, and it's not poop-brained "bigger number wins" simplicity?

      Apparently it's very very good for its niche, but honest to God it's the worst UI I've ever come across

      It's so depressing.
      I just want to find a good strategy game that isn't "complex" due to moronic mechanics or UI.

          Man I love Shadow Empire but the card system and the fact the AI doesn't play by the same rules fundamentally kneecaps it

            I'm looking forward to the simplified logistics rules option that the AI will also be able to use

          its not that it even complex(whatever it mean), its just bloated
          and yes some of the best strategy games are relatively simple

            Agree, it never felt complex to me. Just really slow to actually get into before it got boring.

              i think one of the worst thing is planet generation, in plenty of rolls you get most boring campaign possible, plenty of times they are one sided and when you actually see a enemy its over

              I played it few months ago
              While i enjoyed premise, a lot of mechanics and the way you can customise world ultimately i found it boring
              Water, food and everything in this game will only concern you for a few initial turns and then you're left with building logistics and army nonstop
              Everything in this game is made with design of you blobbing nonstop, so if you don't like that then don't bother

              its essentially a Empire but with extra bloat and dumb redundant systems added

          The reason the word "complex" was in the quotation marks is implying that that anon doesn't think just making UI shit and adding more numbers creates satisfying strategic complexity. It's really ironic for you to call him a moron while failing to understand the point being made.

          I do love it when /vst/ elitists reveal their brainlet level though.

    Artwork is terrible and the sound effects seem to be ripped off a civ 2 scenario. It might be enjoyable for someone who doesn’t have to work for a living.

    it has many homosexual and transexual undertones, it's obvious that the dev is full bore globohomo. Apart from that it's decent. I'm waiting for a proper dune mod

    idea is great and when you start playing it look like deep solid game b ut more you play and more you know how things work then you see that its deigned badly with many the most moronic made systems, extra bloat that make game worse and over all its piece of shit
    still it can be addictive sometimes when its not total bore, kind of like paradox games but less polished
