Sid meiers starships and beyond earth12/18/2023 ![]() ![]() After several melenia living on a new world we evacuated too after ruining Earth, our civilization discovers signals indicating that more human colonies may exist among the cosmos. Jumping off from where Sid Meier’s: Beyond Earth ends (sort of) this title moves even further along mankind’s star-charted manifest destiny. Sid Meier’s: Starships has a really great premise. This is a PC review, taken from the perspective of a title which has PC competition for your hard earned money. These days, it’s just a part of the business. But at the same time, enhancing or adjusting a release to optimally suit the platform its being played on is far from untapped waters. Considering the differences in processing power, interface, and other variables, comparing what is ultimately a port of a mobile game to its much more elaborate rivals of the same genre, doesn’t really seem fair. Why does that matter? It matters because the longer I played this game and even when I began to write this review, I came to suspect my experience would not only have been better on an iOS device, but perhaps even the opposite. Now before we get too far into this, I think it important to explain that I played Starships on the PC and the PC only. While not being a bad game by any means, there is very little in Starships that won’t leave players at least slightly flustered and wanting more. And it’s for iOS too? So players can put their enemies under-thumb on the go? What more could I hope for?Īs it turns out, what I should have hoped for was a slightly less literal accommodation of the above expectations, in exchange for a more inspired one. Especially a more action oriented approach, where you could spend a few evening hours blasting your rivals into space debris before headed off to work the next morning. Despite the yay and nay reception the title’s pseudo prequel, Sid Meyer’s Civilization: Beyond Earth, received, I personally enjoyed the game and was happy to be getting more of it. Check out a new trailer and screenshots below.Were you excited when you heard the news of Sid Meier’s: Starships being released? I sure was. Starships will be released for PC, Mac and iPad. The release date is yet unknown, but the game is promised to be out early in 2015. Starships will also feature some kind of cross-connectivity with Civilization: Beyond Earth, but how these two interact is still unknown. Tactical combat missions will be generated dynamically, which is said to bring more replay value to the game. Each campaign will feature its own galactic strategy map full of different worlds. There will be lots of tactical combat, which will be fought with customisable starships. "My goal was to create an experience that focuses on starship design and combat within a universe filled with interstellar adventure, diplomacy, and exploration." What happens after we colonize our new home and eventually build starships to take to the stars? What has become of our long-lost brothers and sisters from the planet Earth?" said Sid Meier, director of creative development at Firaxis Games. "When designing Starships, I was intrigued by the idea of exploring the next chapter in the story of Civilization: Beyond Earth. All this is in an effort to build a peace preserving federation for the whole galaxy. ![]() They go on a series of missions to explore the galaxy, and protect planets and civilizations. Starships is described as turn-based, adventure-driven interstellar strategy game, where players command a fleet of starships. There were some nice news today as 2K and Firaxis announced a new game bearing Sid Meier's name.
