What do I mean by that? Simply that the game interface is too cumbersome and too hard to navigate. It just falls short on the implementation.

There aren't that many places where you can get your turn-based space empire fix right now, but even so, this one is just too lackluster to hold your attention for more than an hour or two.Īnd it's not that I have anything against turn-based strategy. There's a little bit of fun here for the really rabid game playing types, but unless you've been shipped off to a desert island with no other games, this one probably isn't worth much of your time. Reach for the Stars for Matrix Games has been reworked for greater stability and incorporates the final unreleased update to the 2000 release from Strategic Studies Group, the developers of the original and 2000 releases.In short, Reach for the Stars is somewhat unexciting and confusing. 4x Strategy refers to the four activities you perform, Explore, Expand, Exploit, and Exterminate.
