This is a deceptively difficult game, its a good mix of stellaris and CK2 but with all the grind taken out of it, and none of the annoying paid for DLC, the base game works fine without bloodlines but the bloodlines DLC is both cheap and adds something genuinely helpful in the game. It is rare to find a game that encourages patience in todays market but this game does. Go to fast and your empire WILL collapse. You must wait and play slow, you must scheme and plot, you must keep everyone happy. Sometime you must shrink to grow again, playing the longest game is the way to win. I like how you win when you have half the galaxy under your control but have the option to keep playing to see if you can conquer the rest. A game i will replay many times. First run was false start and ended badly, second run took 25hrs to complete, by year 50, after 2 rulers, Father and granddaughter. A bargain at the current sale price, but worth it at full price, dont hesitate to buy. Then enjoy.
Star Dynasties is a space empire-building strategy game. I really like it. Let's make one thing clear: when people hear about space empire-building games they envision some sort of spiritual successor to Master of Orion or Civilization, what you call a 4X game. This one isn't that at all and you'd better not come here with preconceived notions of what such a game should contain. It's also not a huge sprawling game with 10 DLCs trying to be infinitely replayable. It is a focused, polished, well-thought-out game with elegant mechanics, great UI. Everything comes together in it. The closest comparison is the Crusader Kings series, but in a way it's even more CK than CK itself. It doesn't need a lot of the fluff necessary for a historical game - it doesn't have religion and church, different cultures, and the mechanics aren't bound by history. Here the mechanics come first, and the setting adds a little flavor and justifies those mechanics. You control a specific person in a galactic human-only society at some point in the future where most technologies were lost, but people can still travel in space and wage war. Dune is an obvious inspiration. The galaxy is organized as a feudal society and the goal is to control more than half of the galaxy by diplomacy or conquest - in that order. You only directly control a single star system/colony, everything else is controlled by vassal "barons" or (if you're an "archon", or space king) "dukes" . Every ruler and everyone in their court has stats and traits and participates in events and diplomacy. The focus of the game becomes its greatest boon: we deal with a single specific culture and it's a culture of interesting mechanics. The map variety is guaranteed, with every star system only having pre-existing buildings you can "repair", so every colony is unique. You get natural borders and varied regions of space because fleets can only travel close to their home system, and any battle means only using what nearby colonies can provide (and mercenaries, but they cost a lot). There's no succession partition like you'd expect in a historical setting - but on the other hand, there's no way for the sovereign to ban vassals from waging war on each other or outward, and rules like that make for really interesting gameplay. The game is extremely dynamic. In many games like this, colony trading or demanding vassalage is extremely limited so as not to be exploited, and the empires stay static and boring, but here actors do it all the time, and the galaxy feels alive. There's a system of laws codifying transgressions and demands, resulting in interesting situations – if your liege has wronged you, then you're justified in, say, not answering the call to support them in battle, or your rebellion might be semi-justified and not affect your reputation as much. It's all a beautiful complex machine. The game looks and feels decent, the UI is great. I can see why people might have issues with its turn-based nature. Every new turn start makes you acknowledge what happens around you and demands your reaction to many events, which might feel frustrating if you don't have much to do on your own turn. However, I find that it benefits the pacing: in similar games I feel like I'm missing what's happening around the world unless I force myself to slow down and look around, but here you effortlessly consume the galactic drama and become familiar with all the houses and important characters. So far I've only had one full campaign in the game and I can clearly see that while there's a lot of variety in how you can approach it (space geography is done very well, maps are randomly generated and you can choose some transformative traits for your starting character and dynasty), it's obviously not as replayable as less deep and wider games. Still, even a single playthrough felt wonderful. I highly recommend it.
It's no Crusader Kings, and it's a bit rough around the edges, but it has a certain charm. For an indie game, I would say it is pretty well done. The setting is very similar to the Mechwarrior or Dune universe where interstellar travel and technology exist, but they are in a state of stagnation or decline and the government has devolved back into feudalism. The game doesn't do anything incredibly revolutionary, but it is competent. If you like these kinds of games, it's definitely worth getting on sale.
Crusader Kings in space. It has excellent story telling and a unique feel to it. Unfortunately, the battles are not fleshed out and mostly rely on mercenaries but overall it´s pretty good, 8/10! The story each of your rulers write for themselves makes this an excellent game. The feasts are integral part of galactic diplomacy and well, we have all seen Game of Thrones, there can be unexpected outcomes. You send your House members all over the realm and there are so many tasks to manage that you have to prioritise. On top of that, you are expected to judge cases that have only negative outcome no matter how you decide but leaving them unattended will straight out lead to war with other factions, which maybe even desired, who knows, you decide and influence everything here. Your scientiests found xeno life forms? Secretly unleash them on other rulers systems or study them for your knowledge. There is constant unrest on one of your vassals planets? Good, that vassal didn´t like you anyway, time to support a revolt!
