This week's GU iOS Game of the Week is Digital Reality's port of the Windows fusion-strategy-management title Imperium Galactica II: Alliances -- adding an incredible and cohesive strategy title to the iOS platform at a time when games of this depth and quality are a rare thing indeed.
"Let's go back to the classic ages of RTS games, the late 90's to be specific, with the Imperium Galactica series. Digital Reality scales down the desktop science-fiction real-time strategy experience, replete with all the colony-building and resource management the series is known for and brings it to the iPad. But how does Imperium Galactica II fair over time? Is it a warp-speed success or a merely a relic of a bygone age?"
Dealspwn: "Oh happy day! One of the finest strategy games of yesteryear - Digital Reality's Imperium Galactica II - has returned, for a fresh release on the iPad. A fantastic mish-mash of real time tactics, real time strategy, empire building and 4X gameplay, Imperium Galactica II is still an absolutely cracking game, and a must for anyone who, like me, was obsessed with 90s/early-00s strategy titles.
It costs £2.49, and you can (and should) buy it right now. Because it's excellent."
