Most of the critiques here confirm everything that had me concerned about this title...

JH, I am curious about this one and will await your comments before further action. I like Stellar Monarch and this games looks like a slicker version of it with less fleet control.

JH-I'm also interested in your thoughts about this one, when you get a chance to evaluate it.

I'm still running through the initial tutorial and so far I see a lot of neat ideas. There seems to be a good amount of depth to the characters and their inter-relationships. I think I can already see what is going to be the problem for this title. While there is a good amount of depth to the characters and the ways in which they interact, that is where the depth in this game comes to a screeching halt. There is really very little else. No colonization. No exploration. No building fleets, or even commanding them. No research apparently and only the most basic of colony management. For example, no improving or expanding, no building structures or defenses, etc, Combat is a very, very simple affair.

I think it is a cool idea and a nice departure from the usual 4x...but honestly, once I get passed a lot of the novelty of the role play experience, I think the game is going to get dull very quickly. Its almost like one aspect of the game was built up well, but the rest of the game is missing.

Still very early in my impressions, so I'll be sure to post if anything changes.

There's a brand new DLC for the game:

The main game is still on my pending list (just played 1-2 hours) but looks interesting.
