A sci-fi strategy game by Paradox Star It can take so long that, to be honest, I never finished it. At some point, I always lose interest and start a new civilization because I mostly want to try out new weird ideas for a new weird empire, not actually rule it. and fight its end-game wars. That makes me strongly interested in Stellaris Nexusan upcoming turn-based spin-off that aims to deliver a full multiplayer 4X experience in less than an hour.
Stellaris Nexus clearly can’t be Stellaris running on an accelerated timeframe, but just a brand new game built from some familiar parts and ideas. And what Paradox has said and shown so far seems pretty Stellaris-y to me, and definitely 4X-y.
Up to six players will build their own mini empire as they vie for control of Nexus, the world of galactic thrones. You will explore space, research new technologies, develop star systems, build fleets of spaceships, engage in diplomacy, engage in espionage, participate in betrayal, participate in murder, you you know, Stellaris stuff.
This one was not made by Paradox, the creator of Stellaris. The developer is Whatboy Games, the previous game is good deck building tactics ’em up Trials Of Fire.
Stellaris Nexus is due to early access On steam sometime this year. Before that, a demo will be available in Steam Next Fest from June 19.
I am quite concerned. Turning 4X into a quick game with friends (or with strangers, if you want the guts of skill-based matchmaking) sounds great. Experience the game on board but not on board and with a computer that enforces the rules so I can’t forget how it works or lose my little plastic moons.
