One of the best games on mobile- still some kinks

If you liked MOO2, you will love this game. Its a good value at 8 bucks. That said, it is still a mobile game, and doesnt quite hit the depth of a computer 4x like Endless Space.

Good stuff: Great music and atmosphere. The autoturn function is flawless. Combat is fun, and deeper than it first appears and I feel like the game does a good job of making you feel moments of tension.

The Bad: Research and building just take forever, there is a pretty limited selection of races, AI is hyper aggressive, so always plan on war. I dont feel like the tech tree has that much utility given how long research takes. I dont find extra systems to be as valuable as weapons, but that could be different on multi player.

My biggest beef is hero balance. Some of the leaders are just vastly more powerful than others. I feel like a fix might be to let everyone know which empire a hero is working for. This could lead to fun alliances vs. Ghrozon in particular.
