I don’t really see Dawn of Andromeda having much in the way of longevity. They’re late to the market, don’t offer enough true innovation to stand out in any way, and happen to be releasing while several other really good options in the same genre are being actively updated. About the only people that I would expect to see picking it up would be those few like me that play pretty much every 4X, but I’d still have to advise my fellow strategists to give this one a pass.

About
Andromeda has seen quieter days, and it’s up to you to take the reins of one of many civilizations and guide it through the myriad dangers hiding in the galaxy. Build your empire, colonize new planets, interact with other factions and characters, research new technologies and build fleets so powerful, your enemies will tremble. Explore a galaxy filled with diverse factions, outlaws, merchants, pirate clans and mercenaries but also anomalies, black holes, ancient artefacts, ruins and much more. Arriving in a new system may provide new opportunities or open up Pandora´s Box. Are you up to the challenge?

Critic reviews
- 6.1Most strategy players know the opening dozen or so turns are crucial to developing your tactics and what you do will make or break your experience. Dawn of Andromeda, however, makes you play the long game: enemies are virtually unable to rush you in combat as they are hindered by the same tech tree you are and this means the biggest rewards come later in the game.
- 5.0Dawn of Andromeda is the rock at the top of a hill full of potential, but so many tiny pebbles and blades of grass are preventing it from building the momentum it truly needs. Look forward to seeing more from this developer, but unless you’re a 4X fanatic, it might be worth looking for something with more complete, hefty mechanics to fill your time.
