Wot i think sid meiers starships10/27/2022 ![]() It's not a throwaway game by any means, it's just one that's built to plug very specific gaps in your life. It's one of Firaxis' fabled Sid Projects, too: Meier's listed as both designer and a programmer here, and the end result has much of the cheery playfulness you may have found in Ace Patrol (another recent Sid Project that straddled both iPads and PCs). And that doesn't really matter, because instead this is a wonderful knockabout timewaster, with matches designed to eat up an afternoon - or a succession of bus trips if you're playing on iPad - rather than a whole weekend. If you were expecting a full-blown follow-up to Beyond Earth, in other words, this isn't it. There is some cross-connectivity with Beyond Earth in the form of unlockable things like planets and specific missions. Before you begin each match here, you choose from a familiar muddle of affinities and faction leaders, but they're all just starting perks, really, and while the game that lies beyond these choices is a turn-based affair, it's far breezier than Beyond Earth: a nice territory-capture strategy treat as you move between planets, a compact hex-based battler when you get into orbit around one. (Just me?)īeyond that - and beyond a few themed unlockable treats - actual links between both games tend to be relatively cosmetic. Starships, however, throws open the entire galaxy. Beyond Earth limited itself to the atrocities we might cause when scouting a new homeworld. ![]() In many ways, Firaxis' latest offers even greater scope for our wretched species to express itself. Both titles hinge on a very simple idea, powerfully stated: the worst thing you're ever likely to find floating around out in space is another human being. Sid Meier's Starships shares one crucial theme with Civilization: Beyond Earth, the game whose story it loosely continues. These so we can cover them all inĭigital rodents are perfect for minute detail.Slight but delightful, this is a lovely convergence of strategy and tactics.
