I have just started but this is if MoO 2 and Space Empires V had a baby. Not for everyone, but if you enjoyed those games ... yeah get this. If you enjoy a chill but makes you think type of game ... yeah get this. If Stellaris wasn't too "busy" for you .... no, don't get this. It is exactly the best of MoO 2 and the best of Space Empires V but updated.

Distant Worlds 1/2 does not work on Steam Deck. Stardrive 1/2 does not work on Steam Deck. Sword of the Stars 1 does not work on Steam Deck. If you want an RTS/4x that isn't Sins of a Solar Empire... this is pretty much your only option... and it runs great. The game is a bit buggy, but so is every space 4x.
