A year ago, we looked at Endless Space and thought that it was good. The realm of 4X strategy has become bigger thanks to it, as well as other titles like Sins of a Solar Empire and Sid Meier’s Civilization V. It seems that it’s not only those two titles that would be getting expansions as Endless Space: Disharmony has been released to captivate strategy gamers even more.
Amplitude Studios is one of the indie studios has definitely embraced the idea of ongoing development and fan feedback. Their Games2Gether system, early access launches, polls and ongoing, free addons make their games one to watch as a model going forward.
That however is a bit beside the point as their first 4x, Endless Space, has been announced to get its 7th free addon next week – Chronicles of the Lost. Chronicles will update both Disharmony (the expansion pack) and the vanilla version. With Disharmony they are improving some of the flaws that were in the expansion pack (which received mixed reviews), and also bug fixes for both it and the vanilla game.
Endless Space came out last year and to the surprise of many it was very well received by the critics, reaching a great 9/10 here in Caster Combo. Praised at the time quite the design and depth of the game, while acknowledging some flaws in combat, since it is much simpler than the rest of the game and some occasional bugs that proved the game still suffered from some problems. However, the overall result was quite strong and even more than a few milestones in the industry as Sword of the Stars.
Since this is an analysis Disharmony, the first expansion of Endless Space, everything that relates to the base game will not be mentioned, tant recommend you read our review here . Since this is an expansion of content, the game lets us choose to play the game without any content expansion. In addition to new content of the news is undoubtedly the best AI, which is now more intelligent and can easily adapt to our tactics to counteract them. One of the first impacts with the new version of the game lets us really worried because the enemies are actually more difficult. In terms of numbers they can count on much more enemy units to attack your forces, as well as attacks earlier.
If Civilization chronicles a player on their journey to explore and conquer the world, Endless is only appropriately analogous to the galaxy.
