An objectively great retro FPS.

Is good game. Prob best online offering for AoE today.
Diff civs are unique and fun.
Graphics are good.
Campaigns are fun, might even learn some real history.

All in all, solid game.

Obviously a Trek fan. Really hoping this be a good casual "forever" kinda game like Gal Civ.

So, like best thing I can say really is some good "nostalgia bait" artwork for this game, but nothing better than what find scrolling through any Trek community group or a quick google search.

Whole experience of the game is very lack lustre. From simple things like the UI looking like baby's first unity game to soundtrack just sounding very stock and bland.

The tutorial was a joke, and obviously this is intended for people played games like Stellaris a lot before. Which is fine, tutorial doesn't make or break entirety of a game but yeah, again, lack lustre experience.

Game play, is your standard Gal Civ affair, just with more moving parts and zero of the charm of either Gal Civ, or the Trek universe. As to whether it's a better design or balance of this kind of game, honestly, not going to commit time to this to find out. Got other things I'd rather play instead like Armada 3 for Sins.

Graphics are bad, even at 4k and maxed out. Look really, really, really dated, like 2011 kinda dated, no jokes. The Trek mod for Sins is light years better looking, and even works in 4k, and that's a free add on essentially to an old game engine.

Technically, had no bugs or issues other than moving the camera around just feels kinda jerky, so that's good at least it's not like crashing etc all the time, just...again...bit lack lustre.

Overall?
Get tried, true, and tested, not to mention free mods for the following games instead:
Sins of a Solar Empire - Star Trek Armada 3
Stellaris - Star Trek: New Civilisations
Gal Civ 3 - More than a few ship, and civ mods

In it's current state, I cannot recommend this even to a diehard Trek fan, maybe like see it on sale for $10 one day try it out, but really, just feels like wasting your time playing this when there are far better, even far older, alternatives out there to play if you want a Trek grand strategy game...and they're fan made, offered for free, mods ffs.

Summary of my notes from playing skirmish mode match and the first half or so of the campaign missions.

Solid gfx, audio, and overall presentation. Excellent sound design as expect from Frontier(if played Elite and fought/been hyperdicted by thargoids before, you know what I mean), performance is good, maxing it out at 4k, no issues. (6900 gpu + 5950 cpu for reff). Like TW Warhammer, visually this is "table top comes to life" feels.

Standard "second gen" rts as I call them(which I guess is a "RTT" as recently learned), ie post Company of Heroes design. Capture points, not much in way of base building but do have research tree and match tiers like DoW. Has the classic AoE matches triangle balance for units, some care been given to bring over TT rules like how charges work and retreating. Slower pacing though, this is not a blitz rts like SC or DoW2, in this category reminds me of something like Battle for Middle Earth tbh.

Heroes, but havent seen anywhere where they level up or anything, so really like DoW 1 heroes if anything.

Decent skirmish AI, whooped my ass first match but can see if I practice it's not insane. Campaign missions can be little unforgiving but usually trying something diff, or learning from mistake etc will be the trick to the second try.

Writing isnt terrible for the dialogue so far, and honestly want to play out campaign just to keep watching what happens to characters, which is saying something given theyre otherwise generic stormcasts units.

Overall? If you're a diehard rts player thats been desperate for something new with some quality presentation to it(ie, little bit above typical indie fare imho), and/or big into AoS should be worth price tag for ya.

If just casually interested, I'd wait for sales and/or some kind of bundle in future, get a feeling going to be some faction pack DLCs etc coming down the pipes if this catches on like we see with the Warhammer total war games.

Oh last note. Geez is is nice when boot up a game these days, no sep launcher(need log in for mp tho, but eh, gotta track your stats for match making etc somehow I guess), no game ending bugs, no weird ass glitches or messing around with windows updates etc for half an hour. It just worked. So, that's always nice with any new game these days.

A lot of updates since first wrote this review. The game is even better than my first experience. Looks like the assets have had a quality pass, action is more intense, balance (from my noob perspective at least) seems smoother too overall. Yeah...an okay game, is now pretty damn good and they even seem to have dropped the price (or at least have had it on sale for a fair bit of time).

Really can't recommend it enough now if you're looking for a good sequel to the series, a decent pvp RTS in the era of WW2, or just a good coop RTS to do some ♥♥♥ stomps with your friends.

One of the most underrated RPGs of all time.

Dark Elves.

Man versus lizard. Worth it if want to play as them.

Dark Elfs, nuff said, and one of their most op lords.

One the best DLC's ever made for this series. Tomb Kings are also fun to play as and cool, so entirely worth it if want to play as them.
