Hmm, looks interesting. The map reminds me of Galactic Civilization II.

I am going to wait for the sales on the inevitable DLCs before I even think about it.

I bought his last game hours after it came out for full price and it was a big let down.  I'll let it go down to 10 bucks before I buy it.

I'll buy it when I see a 75% off tag.

Yes. Me too. Buying a Sid Meier game nowadays seems to involve paying full price for patching that comes as DLC.

It is very simple - more like an iPad game.

Contrary to me previous post, I preordered it from GMG.

Very simple, spaceship tactical game not worth the 10$ I paid for it.

Well, it's really more of an iPad companion game to Civ:BE (especially as it uses the same universe and characters) - sorta like those iPhone games released in connection to Assassin Creed.

By the way, there is a new patch for Civ: BE which seems quite good.
