It's main features include, ship design, tactical combat, a vast multitude of colonizable planets, a massive square grid map and linear story complete with lore, missions, quests and events that all tie into the storyline.
Skewed and Reviewed have posted a mixed review for the new space combat game Horizon. They liked aspects of the game but had issues with the menu and micromanagement of the game.
Daav from NoobFeed takes another stab at galactic conquest now that Horizon has come to full release on Steam. It's 4X with a giant twist, but also with some of the wrong ties to nostalgic design.
Horizon is a game with a split personality. On one side of the coin you have an interesting, well-crafted space strategy game that makes some great advances in a genre that’s becoming rather niche. On the other side, Horizon is a sluggish, boring and almost broken game. There are moments when you can happily play along without those negatives having much of an effect, but it’s difficult to get through much of the game without them rearing their ugly heads. It’s a shame, really, as the elements that make this game good are often impressive and well thought through.
