Millennia, a turn-based empire-builder similar to Civilization, struggles with a flawed tile economy, limited city development, confusing resource management, and performance issues in the late game. While it introduces interesting concepts like alternate ages and city needs, the lack of differentiation between nations and outdated graphics detract from the overall experience.
Star Trek: Infinite, a 4X grand strategy game developed by Nimble Giant Entertainment and published by Paradox Interactive, offers players the opportunity to command one of the four major factions in the Star Trek universe and race against others to become the dominant force in the galaxy. Each faction has its own unique mode of conquest, and players must explore, manage resources, and balance the responsibilities of governing a galactic empire. The game allows for role-playing and divergent paths, but staying true to the faction's strengths offers the swiftest route to victory. Star Trek: Infinite provides a challenging and immersive experience, with the potential for future expansions and mods.
Age Of Wonders 4, a strategy 4X game with elements of roleplaying, is out now. Players use magic to explore, expand, and exploit their way towards exterminating rival fantasy factions. The game has flavourful side quests, but large military rumbles can become alienating due to the breadth of powers and spells. The UI is generally clear, but with multiple races and unit types in a fight, it can be overwhelming. Age Of Wonders 4 is available on Steam for £42/$50.
