What players say

how can it be, that a small dev team from hungary in 1999, managed to nail colony managment to look like sim city, while keeping space and ground battles interesting, with ground battles specifically taking place in the streets of the colonies you built? and why is it that no other 4x game since, managed to do the same?

The originator of all space RTS. The music and the visuals are truly engaging, the player takes part in a high fantasy among the stars.
laszlonagy8705Recommendedafter 145hJun 2026Read on Steam
Remember to play this game between 60 to 120 fps so it does not glitch - also the hard mode is very unfair and punishing and can only be played one way - other than that its a good game
