The Trese Brothers continue to amaze with their brand of deep strategy games unique on mobile, offering full PC-style complex strategy in the palm of your hand. You've got everything a 4x game should be, with a wealth of gameplay options for map size, difficulty etc. Colonising the galaxy couldn't be more fun, addictive or rewarding. It truly is a great game - unputdownable.

It would've been good if the diplomatic aspect centered more on communicating with the aliens than focusing on your own guys screwing you over every turn. The menus aren't very obvious or well explained and the solutions to the problems you'll face aren't really explained at all. All in all its still a great game and it's worth the 5-10$ it costs

Excellent 4x game with a lot of depth. If I had to criticise aspects of the game, I would say the controls could use some streamlining (upgrading buildings one at a time by entering the same menus repeatedly is a bit clunky, for example) and the graphics could be a little prettier, not that it's ugly by any stretch. Still, very well done 4x game and I would recommend it to my friends. One last thing, politics is very confusing and I needed to research online to fully understand it. It needs a better tutorial.
