Just a tiny fix for a problem recently reported. Turns out the game wanted to look up keys in data that was not yet loaded at that time. Which is bad. I hope not too many of you actually ran into this. Bugfixes • Fixed a crash when hitting keys on the "Loading" startup screen

Fun game! I loved the parts I got to play recently, the game has stopped being able to open. Emailed the devs, and made a discussion post, thus far no solution. Very cool concept, very cool game, but alas, no run. :(

This game is heavely inspired by Master of Orion with some chunk of Xcom inside. It shows its age but it does what it does very well.

Fix your game. This is a NIGHTMARE for upscaling, especially of the 4k kind. I'm not changing the resolution of my entire monitor to accommodate one game, and this issue makes it virtually unplayable. Furthermore, another person I know refunded on the basis that this game doesn't run on Windows 11. Thanks.

I bought this on Desura a while back and am glad to finally see it on Steam. I have put in about 20 or so hours so far and here is my impressions Good: +Very good officer management abilities. You can hire, promote and decide where you want each officer assigned. You also will want to keep you good officers alive or your fleets will suffer for it. You even have a protagonist character (Yourself) you can use to...

I'm going to not recommend this game on a preliminary basis, not because I'm not enjoying it -- I am -- but there are some significant caveats that need to be said, or a number of people are going to be wasting their money. First of all, there is no sound whatsoever in this game, which is very jarring. Secondly, the interface leaves much to be desired; controls don't always work as you might wish (in particular, the...

If you're sick of the typical "modern" space strategy game, Solar War may well be your game. Many modern space strategy games are designed around the principle of adding eye candy while removing mechanics. Solar War goes the opposite direction, using fairly minimal graphics while, at the same time, focusing on creating meaningful strategic and tactical decisions. Here are just a handful of the things that happen in...

Solar war is a great game that suffers from being very linear. By this I mean your having a great time playing, your immersed, and then your tasked with doing something that you may or may not be capable of doing and given a time limit. Speaking only for myself these events take all the fun out as they feel very arbitrary and ultimately once you know they exist the game becomes just prepping to follow those timed...

One of the only games that scratches my itch for a primarily logistics and personnel management based wargames. Plus the cool as hell intersolar conflict theme, this game is as unique as it is competently excecuted.

Great game, with a moderate tutorial. It teaches you the basics of combat, and a little bit else, but mostly it's up to the player to discover how to play. It's got space, strategy, a little politics, and plenty of researching/colonizing. I'd give it a 8.1/10 due to potential and the fact that the dev is still working with it.

I played this game extensively a few years ago, and remember having liked it quite a bit. I recently started playing again, and was actually blown away. I have to admit to missing out on a whole lot of the relatively deep strategic element to this game. Really digging into this reveals a lot of that though. For example, paying close attention to your crew composition, which in turn requires monitoring how much of...
