Starships actually shares quite a bit in common with Master of Orion, which isn't necessarily a bad thing in my books. So you'd hope the gameplay is actually pretty damn good right? RIGHT? There's much less lore here than what exists in Beyond Earth and it's a shame because they could've definitely expanded on this aspect, but I guess they just wanted to focus on the gameplay. What do I think of the plot? It's a throw-away plot which has been developed just to give an excuse for the factions in Beyond Earth to venture out into space and (more often than not) fight each other. Sid Meier's Starships is set far in the future when the factions in Beyond Earth have taken control of the planet they've colonised and are now setting out into space with a fleet of ships to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before! *Ahem * Okay, not really, but you do have a fleet of starships that are apparently answering a plea for help against aggressors, so you're really going into space to fight for the meek and then influence them enough to join your empire/federation/alliance/tea party. I'm truly fortunate to have such choicest friends! NO for gifting a copy of this game for my birthday. So the real question is does this game have enough depth to keep you entertained? Or is it just like many other mobile games out there? The game definitely looked promising from the screenshots, like a Sid Meier version of Master of Orion, however when you read the fine print and realised the game was also being developed for mobile phones, it dawned on me that this game was probably going to be more like Sid Meier's Ace Patrol.
So I guess that's why you're here now: to learn if it actually is too good to be true. So when I heard about Sid Meier's Starships coming out and that it would be basically a continuation of your Beyond Earth empire but in SPAAAAAACE, it seemed too good to be true.
Despite the mixed user reviews for Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth (52% out of 13,767 reviews), I actually enjoyed the game, giving it an 8/10 in my review.
