Marinus Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 ...on the free Steam trial, and while it isn't a bad game, it feels like a fun and elaborate Civ 5 mod at best. I'll probably pick it up when it approaches a single digits price, but 50 Euros? Really? It also gave me the sads for Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. Me so sad, cuz the drones need me....

Tomwa Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 it feels like a fun and elaborate Civ 5 mod at best Really? Felt like a huge retexture to me. Still fun but of course it was the original game was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marinus Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Well, yeah, it was definitely another experience, but it really didn't feel like a different game to me. The only thing that's drastically different is the science-web. Anyway, I will definitely pick it up later on, but 50 Euros is outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keepbro Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I was looking at that today and some small voice was saying "NO" I am thinking of getting Endless Legend instead which lots people have been saying is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaGrey Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Sunk a couple hours into it. Though it's not largely different from Civ5, it plays well and scratched the itch for a sci-fi based version of the game. Endless Legend suffers from a very, very easy to defeat AI (seem to be able to stomp them with just one or two full-sized armies) . . . on hardest settings. Sort of takes the fun out of it, unless you plan to play with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marinus Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 It was fun enough, and there definitely some interesting new content. But I heard a lot of negative stuff about it. And judging from this early sale, I reckon it's price will nose-dive in the not to distant future. Anyway, I picked up Alpha Centauri incl. Alien Crossfire instead. That game aged very well, btw.

ander01se Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If you don't mind 8 bit gfx, get Master of Magic. It's Civ 1 mixed with Magic: The Gathering and Heroes of Might & Magic / Age of Wonders. Muuuch better than Beyond Earth. Or just go with the original SMAC / SMAX, soo much more personality.

Impetiso Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 A big problem of Civilization: Beyond Earth is the fact that you are playing Civilization V with a few changes. I think it was made for the ones that haven't bought Civ V, and trying to pick Sci-fi fans to follow the franchise, but once you have played Civ V, I think there is no reason for you to play Beyond Earth. And of course, not being an Alpha Centauri game is the worst problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keepbro Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 So Endless Legend it is then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myster Ious Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 If you don't mind 8 bit gfx, get Master of Magic. It's Civ 1 mixed with Magic: The Gathering and Heroes of Might & Magic / Age of Wonders. One of my all-time favorites! When it comes to fantasy-4x, warlock: masters of the arcane and fallen enchantress: legendary hereos (what is it with all that two-part titles?^^) are two kinda recent games, which have a nice approach, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
