Is this like Empire of the Fading Suns?

[Scotters]

Is this what Empire of the Fading Suns fans have been waiting for? Will this have both space and ground combat?

[SnallTrippin]

This was what I was thinking - I'd love a reboot of that game (hell, even one that just played on modern machines)

[LostPenwell]

Yes! I would indeed love that. Big Fading Suns fan here!

No it isn't. It is better by my humble opinion, or rather it is completely different. So the gist of it is:

You are an emperor/empress of a potentially rising empire. The focus of the game is on top down decisions rather then on the micromanagement. You act like an emperor would. Send out loyal (hopefully) subjects to complete projects for you. Everything is done in a top down fashion so the game is more like an epic management game. It is unique, it is brilliant.

If you are itching for a Empire of Fading Suns experience I would recommend Shadow Empire. It is an actually EoFS like game but far better (again my own opinion).

Just a side note I really enjoyed the EoFS Tabletop RPG game. Oh good times playing it.
Hope this helps.

The background/setting is similar in that both were very much inspired by Dune

However, it's otherwise completely and totally different.

Shadow Empire is more of a wargame. Unless you really love logistics, I wouldn't go near it.

This is what i was thinking as well - absolutely loved that game! :)

Hi there! While I loved EotFS and wish someone would come out with a modern remake with better AI and UI, and there are some stylistic elements in the game and backstory that are similar, as sztripi said, the game plays completely functionally different. Think of it as a core 4X with some grand strategy elements, and with a healthy RPG layer on top. Thanks for the question! That actually comes up a lot.

"Emperor Of.." is not "Empire Of.." I'm not sure to understand title of this topic. Misstype ?

[wizardovoz]

Ah, I came to ask same question
