The game is played in turns, placing Endless Space in the same family as Master of Orion, Galactic Civilizations and Sword of the Stars, rather than a relative of Sins of a Solar Empire.Įach turn you get to make decisions regarding your empire’s military operations, research efforts, planetary production, trade between star systems, diplomacy with strange alien species, etc.
You are in command of an empire, and your objective is galactic domination by warfare, trade, and diplomacy. Please note that the game we were able to test was an alpha, this means it’s an early version with many bugs and incomplete features that said, I was personally impressed with the level of polish the current alpha has, everything ran smoothly and I encountered few bugs, none of which was too serious. Amplitude Studios gave us the opportunity to test drive their upcoming game, Endless Space, a 4X (e xplore, e xpand, e xploit, and e xterminate) game that draws extensively from a personal favorite of mine, Master of Orion 2, while adding some bits of Civilization to the mix, and improving to the formula with their personal touch.
