Quote:
Ancient Space is a story driven single player real time strategy game where you take command of a fleet embarking on a scientific mission to chart undiscovered reaches of space called ‘The Black Zone’. Overcome overwhelming odds and fight for your life and the survival of your ship and its crew.

Venture deep into space to uncover secrets and find a lost expedition!

Ancient Space features real time strategic starship battles that encourages tactical maneuvering. In time honored RTS tradition, you build and upgrade your fleet as you complete mission objectives and gather resources which allow you to progress further into the game. Chart your approach – from defense to offense and everything in between such as escort and stealth missions.

Embark and explore the darkest recesses of space in this tale of strategic resource management and engrossing interstellar warfare.

Main Features:
    A stellar cast: The game is voiced by fan-favorites from much loved sci-fi movies and television shows such as Star Trek: Enterprise, Battlestar Galactica and Firefly.
    Deep space exploration: Each mission advances the plot further and introduces a new area of space being explored with secrets to discover and dangers to react to.
    Command your fleet: Build, maintain and strategically use a multitude of ship types to deploy into battle, each with distinct tactical uses during grand strategic space warfare as you square off against notorious pirates and mysterious aliens.
    Upgradeable progression: Your units can be upgraded. Various upgrades to player ships are applied throughout the campaign. You decide what to enhance and what to leave behind.
    Choose your crew: Before each mission, choose up to three officers with special abilities that aid your progress through the missions. Recruit more crew members along your journey.
    An engrossing campaign: The single player campaign comes with a pulsating story that follows epic battles and tackles philosophical questions about humanity and science whilst posing the question – what lies beyond?

Wasteland 2 is a old school CRPG and even then Divinity OS was great with Co-op, so yeah. Also I like to play RTS with friends. Co-op RTS like AI wars was a lot of fun.

Yeah, performance is a bit weird. With the camera zoomed out the tutorial ran at 60 and the skirmishes at around 40-50, but in the first campaign mission FPS tanks to lower 20s for seemingly no reason. That's on an R9 280x.

You might be right, it uses 75% of one core and ~15% of each of the other three on an i5-2400. I'll wait for a patch since from what I've played of the tutorial and skirmishes, the gameplay seems reasonably fun.

It's using Unity... Laughing

Looks terrible, gameplay looks somewhat simplistic from a little play. I just had to quit when several ships collapsed into one space. This kind of basic retarded shit should not be tolerated in a modern game in 2014. Rolling Eyes

Tried the game, only played the first two tutorial missions, where you have to learn how to play ,and then defend a cargo convoy plus some satellite. Performance is good, even with my fairly crappy gfx card. I'll see if it changes for the worst once i play a campaign.

Game has potential, will play more tomorrow

Looks great if one has the system to run it. Are you using SLI or Crossfire? Rolling Eyes



Tutorials played just fine, now onto the campaign Smile Later.

Played some and didn't really enjoy it.
Too simplistic, it doesn't run horrible but for how it looks I'd say it should run better than it did.
Maybe my expectations were too high. Anywho, Wouldn't pay 20€ for it. It feels more like one of those bargain titles.

So if you're undecided... wait for a decent price drop I'd say.
