About the game

The value story
Across all 108 discounts in the 13 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $4.99 at 75 percent off still sits 25 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 28 percent on value. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Breachway ($9.99, scores 42) beats it on value, while it beats Distant Worlds: Universe ($29.99, scores 29).

Amazingly well done politics simulator with a few turn based strategy elements. Achieving the golden ending of uniting all races in one federation is very difficult and requires both specific tactics and a good dose of luck. However, this game has SOOO much more to offer, that being laser-focused on just the best ending should not be the point. There are a few events that just immediately lock you out of the best...
Part turn based shooter, part diplomacy, part spreadsheet. A fairly unique experience about being a space hydra trying to unite a galaxy. Weird, but it generates some good dynamic stories
