While it is tempting to say that with all this in mind, Sid Meier’s Starships seems to be made for the iPad before porting over to the PC, it was quite the opposite according to the man himself. But having said all that, everything is still nicely balanced so that you can’t just build one kind of starship and hope to steamroll through the game. Stealth and deployable fighters do add the extra bit more for tactical strategy but nothing too complex.
Even the weapons are non-complex with Lasers being the long range type, canons being better at shorter range and torpedoes playing the missile type. Planet upgrades are divided into increasing production of the game’s 4 main resource type while starship customisation are also kept simple so that you don’t end up spending hours tweaking your starships. From the selecting of your leader (following Civilization: Beyond Earth theme) to managing each planet that comes under your fold via influence, everything is kept as simple and straight forward. Everything in the game is rather straightforward and if a word can be used, it would be casual. While Sid Meier never did promise another great strategy game with Sid Meier’s Starships that would satisfy fans looking for an answer to Master of Orion, with a price of SGD 15, one would expect something decent at the very least.Īnd decent would be the best word to describe the game as everything is decent at best when compared to other titles out in the market. Building up your modest fleet of starships, you seek out these planets to bring them under your fold. Riding on the success of Civilization: Beyond Earth comes a game from the legendary Sid Meier that explores the idea that there are other planets colonized by humans.
