Each resource has only one use, and not in the good manner.
When enough influence is earned, the planet joins the player's faction entirely and… it's mind-numbingly straightforward. They can then travel to the various nearby planets to engage in ship to ship battles, winning influence. The player starts the game on a home planet, which provides a set income of food, science, metal, and energy, as well as having a small fleet to deploy. This results in limiting the style of gameplay to 'destroy everything possible' or else risk losing the game.Įnough about the problems, though the game itself has yet to be laid out. That science victory? If the computer gets enough wonders for a wonder victory, it will win regardless. The computer is allowed to win by any means they so desire, regardless of the laid out conditions. In Starships, picking a victory condition only affects the player. If the player picks a science condition the only way to legit win is a scientific victory… right? Right? Wrong. This should seem simple as to be impossible to muck up. At the start of the game, the player is allowed to pick victory conditions. Not following the obvious route does not mean failure, and Beyond Earth is still quite enjoyable even with the poor choices… How does Starships continue to muck it up, then? What flaw truly condemns it to the pile of a sorely-missed? The answer is simple. Tablet games can still be good, after all. Two games get hampered by the poor choices in Starships!
Once again, though, this fails because of the most stupid and inept of design choices in that it works both ways, and getting full unlocks in Beyond Earth will require playing Starships. Just take the data, give a few bonuses to people who transfer and acknowledgement of their prior win, and then let them have at it in the galaxy. Once again, on paper, this seems like something too easy to do to mess up. One of the most advertised features was the ability to bring over data from a Beyond Earth game and then use it for the Starships battle.
This game was designed not for use on the PC but, rather, for tablets, and the developers couldn't be bothered enough to make the simple programming requirements to turn it into a proper PC game. Before the title is even reached, the first flaw can be seen. The bad choices become apparent as soon as the game is simply booted up, as it does not have an option to go full-screen. Developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K, Starships is just… wrong.
It got all ruined because of the worst series of design flaws possible, though. The prospect of taking it to the stars, allowing for the player to no longer be confined by planetary design but to, rather, reach to the corners of the galaxy, should have been wonderful - exploring many strange new worlds and solar systems across a massive galaxy teeming with chances for unique design… Even beyond that, Sid Meier has had two forays into the science fiction genre, with both Sid Meier's Alpha Centurai and the recently released Beyond Earth. Why wouldn't it? Civilization is practically the definition of the turn-based strategy game, and the fear of Ghandi's nuclear arsenal is a near-universal fear held by all that have played his games.
