![]() I kind of hope that Amplitude keeps going out of their way to make non-4X Endless games. The fact that a strictly defined path to the end game exists that doesn’t necessarily require much interaction other than tangential encounters (at least for the most part) means the AI probably doesn’t have to be super aggressive either.ĭungeon of the Endless is also cool. I think the sort of fixed end state of the faction quest also probably plays into that a bit though. ![]() I do agree that the AI tends to be more passive aggressive (emphasis on the passive side), but I also don’t play these games on high difficulties. The vaguely science fantasy aesthetic is very good, and I appreciate the diversity of play among the factions and the fact that units are modular rather then on a strict upgrade path so that you can tailor them to your needs. Once I figured out how to play it well enough it replaced Civ as my go to time waster game, when I wanted that strategy fix. (Distant Worlds comes to mind)Įndless Legend is very much my jam. There are a few other games I’d call that, but all of them are even more niche than Paradox is. When did 4Xes start being ‘grand’ strategy? A couple years ago I thought that term was just a Paradox thing, and now it’s all over. It’s got that roguelike issue where the beginning is super easy but ramps up hard near the end. I’ve heard a lot of great things!Įndless Dungeon is also surprisingly fresh and good, although the difficulty seemed a bit off to me. ![]() It’s a cool game, but that was such an issue on the several games I played I felt like I might as well have been playing alone.ĮS1 never grabbed me (wasn’t a fan of its approach to expansion and building - often ended up being one of those 4Xes where I just build everything and my planets turn into utopias, which… kind of isn’t interesting), but I’m looking forward to trying the full release after a lackluster experience with the boring human faction a few weeks ago before the official launch. They seemed consistently passive in my games, even on medium difficulties or sitting next to the supposedly hyper aggressive race. I love the aesthetic and feel of Endless Legend, and the districts system is brilliant, but I ended up feeling let down by the AI.
