If you like 4X with procedural generated maps and focused on tactical combat then this is a game for you. Now if you also like Warhammer 40K setting then this is a must buy.

If you like 4X games with a focus on diplomacy and expanding via building your cities, then this might not be for you, as city building is very basic and diplomacy non-existing... it is just war.

I have to mention that the AI is a lot better than most games out there.

Finally a tip that the game does not tell you. By setting the neutral roaming forces on the higher setting you make the early game more difficult but the overall game a lot more easy as the NPC factions cannot counter effectively the early waves of neutral forces.

Got it while it was on offer, I think about a fiver. The base game is worth that - kept me entertained for a hundred hours apparently, which isn't bad. I'm losing interest now and there's no way I'm paying £15 just to add a new faction to the game, or a couple of tanks or something. Completely ridiculous pricing structure - just plain greedy.

Tried it, it's alright.

Frankly put off by so many paid DLC's.
So I feel that I am not getting the proper experience without paying for them...

So a no from me, sorry.

WHY SO MANY DLC? Bundle this ♥♥♥♥ already.

I got this game during a free week, played it for 18 minutes and never touched it again. I never have had any experience playing these kind of super complicated strategies, so even tough the game offered a nice lil tutorial I was still lost and didnt know what to do. Only thing I could truly appricieate (yes, i speak engrish) was the beautiful graphics that I didnt expect for such a game.

If this is accurate to the lore, then use different material.
Maybe it would be a slog to fight the robots as the humans, but those were the worst first 30 turns I've ever spent on a 4X.
What, is a medium length game supposed to take 700 turns?
