This is one of those games where a 'Meh' rating would come in handy. It's enjoyable but flawed in many ways. I really enjoyed it for about the first half of my playthrough, then the second half felt very tedious and repetitive. While the new systems are being introduced and you are growing and skilling up your roster of teams, the gameplay loop is fun and compelling, but by the time the game is halfway through, everything is maxed out and it just becomes a repetitive slog to the finish line. Some notable Pros and Cons: Pros: - The diplomacy missions have some fun bite size storylines - It's simple to pickup and learn - The core gameplay loop is engaging (at least to start with) - It has a 'Just one more turn' factor Cons: - It's extremely easy, there is almost no challenge - The base defence mechanic is half baked and pointless - The late game is very tedious It's a fun game for a while but the last fifteen hours or so was solely for the sake of completion. Meh.
Overall, the game is good and feels very similar to Evil Genius, but set in space. I can definitely recommend it, however I want to highlight several downsides. They are not critical, but without them the game would feel much more comfortable. My playthrough took around 20 hours, and during the last 5–6 hours I was mostly just fast-forwarding time, waiting for the game to finally end. In my opinion, the game has about 10–12 hours of actual content, after which it starts artificially stretching the gameplay. The first 10 hours were genuinely engaging: I explored sectors, learned the diplomacy and alien research mechanics, completed events, and collected artifacts. Once it became clear how to efficiently farm influence, the race with other factions stopped being challenging — I defeated one faction militarily and beat the other one by score. Main drawbacks: 1) Uncomfortable team and staff management. The game technically shows which team belongs where and whether a team is busy, but the UI is very inconvenient. Filters do not really help. There is no indicator for idle teams — only active or mission-preparing ones are shown. 2) Severe lack of storage space for ore. Each storage box can hold only one type of ore, and the same ore does not stack in the same container — you always need a new box. As a result, you end up with dozens of containers holding 0.5 kg of ore, while 13 kg of the exact same ore has nowhere to go. 3) Pathfinding issues during building. Quite often, when placing objects inside rooms, everything looks correctly positioned and visually unblocked, yet one item still blocks the passage. You only realize this later, when you notice that no one goes to that part of the room — because they physically cannot reach it. Overall, 7/10. A solid game with a strong early phase, but the late game lacks meaningful activities, forcing you to wait on fast-forward until it finally ends.
Did not realize the game was on a timer. Your supposed to compete against factors....okay. I just wanted to build a gate base and pretend I was a Stargate commander and explore strange new worlds. Ok. Edit: I am a moron. You can change it in new game settings. Thanks devs. Back to positive. Sorry :(
The first question we always ask, “is Exogate Initiative worth the 25$ asking price”. The answer to that is yes, however keep in mind this is an Indie game made by an incredibly small team. So while the game is well done it does have issues. First the graphics are good for a small team indie game. The UI tells you what you need to know and you can easily tell what objects and people are what or who you are looking for inside the base. The base building itself is well done and easy, and if you mess up it very easy to fix any mistakes you might make or to redesign the base as needed. Sound wise no voice acting which is fine, the music was enjoyable although the balance felt off in some instances. During attacks the sound would blast out catching me off guard, while during long periods of building it would get so soft it would sound like it stopped. As mentioned the design process, the research and the process of securing funds are very well designed allowing for a smooth difficulty increase as you explore the galaxy. Exploring planets, setting up multiple trips to a single planet, and claiming planets work well. Even manufacturing items, and training units works well. All of these combine to mean that the base building, economy, and exploration side of the game works as well as many triple AAA games. Where the game does faulter is combat. Taking and defending planets are rough. You can not station soldiers on planets but you can build defenses. This sounds reasonable until you actually get attacked. The AI has no travel time and does not have to worry about exhaustion on units. This results in the AI always overrunning your defenses long before you can defend making resources spent on defense useless. Combine that with the fact when every you attack the AI will always have soldiers instantly respond to any attack you might do. This makes planet to planet combat feel unfair and tedious. The only other knock against the game is that there is only one map for bases, 3 enemy factions, and 9 relics. With the way the game appears to be designed I would expect 3 or 4 bases I get choose from to build on. That when a game starts it would choose 3 enemy factions from a pool of 6 to 9 factions, and the same things with relics. Admittedly this might be to much for a small studio but I would encourage Xeno Bits to add this replay ability even as a paid DLC. Over all for a 25$ dollar game they did a great job I had fun with my experience and enjoyed the game enough to do a couple of play throughs. If you’re a fan of base building, Stargate, Science Fiction or any combination of the 3 this game is worth a peak. While it may not have a super amount of depth, this is a very good game for a person to get a feel for the genre as well just an enjoyable experience all around.
