This was my first indie game purchased
This was my first indie game purchased. As a fan of 4x strategy games they all look good to me but few live up to my standard. This game has so much potential for and indie game and I really do look forward to an endless space 2 hopefully someday. The complexity of it almost mind blowing. The space battles between ships go 3D instead of the normal 4x game battles like the the most popular of all times Sid Miers Civilization. The background story of the Endless Space Universe is fantastic. The play between the factions is a little lackluster. And the game leaves you wanting more of an in depth feel on the solar systems and planets. But it is an Indie game and once you play you will see a few game play enhancements would be nice. But the Universe is so expansive the technology tree is enormous. The tech tree is broke down into four sections military, science, exploration, and economics. If you research into exploration you might be able to build on any planet but it doesn't do you an good if you can't defend yourself. If you go all science doesn't help if you can build the greatest advancements if you can't afford them because economy is weak. That’s why I love 4x games and the seven ways to win expansion, scientific, economic, diplomatic, supremacy, and wonder . I all most forgot about the ship builder I’ve lost myself for hours just building your very own customized ship. The disharmony DLC added some nice features and I look forward to more DLC's. I could go forever on why you should buy this game.

This is what happens when people get used to overpriced games
This is what happens when people get used to overpriced games. They see a good game for $1 and start getting suspicious. Endless Space is not the typical type of indie greenlight game trash that floats all over steam. It's a good well-developed game. Also, I hate all that "for $1 anything is good lol" reviews. So I decided to make a review myself. The game isn't perfect. ES may be not the right choice for a newcomer to the 4x genre. It is very rough on edges and lacks proper tutorial. Some tips for beginners. 1. Beware of pirates and random events. Events mostly negative and can be very harsh. Both can be disabled in game settings. 2. AI cheats on all difficulties starting from normal, and it likes to spam ships. Be prepared for war. However, unlike Total War series, here the AI is not so prone to backstab you. You will probably see when and why if it gets pissy. 3. LR kinetics rules. 4. For me, the most complicated thing to start with this game was a tech tree. It took me hours to figure what the final goals of my research should be. But then I just gave up and started to pick from those technologies which I could research at the moment and which would be most useful as of right now. 5. "The lines to the new systems looked wavy and I didn't know which research would let me pass it." Those are wormholes. The game didn't explain it well. But you need to unlock Applied Casimir Effect tech from the Exploration&Expansion tech branch. Overall I rate this game as a solid but average 4x strategy with its lowest in simplistic combat, rudimentary diplomacy.

Simple Answer -
Simple Answer - Even if after 100 hours you find yourself hating this game, the first 75 hours are totally worth it. Simple Advice - Buy when on sale (Happens often enough) and make sure to get Disharmony. Supplemental to Answer - I dislike the AI amplitude uses. Trying to predict how they will behave is annoying. However, if you play with a friend then the two of you can explore and learn at the same time. After about 30 hours you will have figured out the majority of the game and how you are suppose to build. (Hint: Same theme in Endless Legend). All in all I could not say I love the game, but I can say that for the price tag, it provides plenty of entertainment. Supplemental to Advice - The DLC makes the game complete in terms of play style. Without the DLC planetary invasion feels lacking. I would also recommend you ignore the game's rating on difficulty. Just start on easy (or less if you are new to 4x Games). After you learn the mechanics move one tear up at a time. I made the mistake of starting on normal and expecting this game to be as easy as most other games. Normal had me pulling hair out and screaming "the game is cheating" - which it does. >.> After I got over my ego being bruised the game smoothed out.
