Looks sweet as hell, first it was Imperium Galactica 3, then Galaxy Andromeda, then now Nexus lol, frankly i dont care that its not in the IG universe anymore, cuz this looks to be an amazing tactical fleet sim. Yay!! Homeworld & Haegemonia go eat your shorts!
There is an sp demo, no tutorial tough so its a rocky ride.
The mp demo should be out any day now with customizeable ships etc. yummy.

IMO opinion the demo was utter shit. No mini-map, no objective recap screen, nothing. Interface is unintuitive, and the mouseovers don't explain shit either.

Ill grant you that the graphics are pretty nice, and the voiceovers ain't too shoddy, but if the demo is anything relevant of the final release it'll prolly earn a 6 outta 10.

Struggled with this for about 20 minutes before I figured it wasn't worth my time. We'll see though. Maybe I just didn't put enough effort into figuring it out Razz

i cant wait for this game, and loved the demo, even if it is a little short and vague. this is a PC fleet based strategy game, it is not dumbed down, and that is something to appreciate these days.

wow it's actually coming out now. I remember playing the demo of the at that time Imperium Galactica 3 and was amazed by the graphics. That was like...ages ago...and it still looks pretty nice.
Good to see a primising Tactical Space Strategy on the horizon.

Anyone still playing this one? I've gotten pretty addicted to it because of all the effects and the extremely well done texuring on the ships. Lan playing and skirmish is not that bad either. I would like to recommend some mods and tools for this game. I hope you'll enjoy them. Check the beginning of the thread for them + some more stuff.

i gave up on this one, i got sick of having to reconfigure the ships every mission, and the LAN play was broken in the release. to top it all off, the buttholes did not even let it hit the shelves in the USA because of other looming big releases when it came out.

there is just not enough there to warrant purchase. the multiplay is just skirmishes that left me wondering: where is the other half of this game?

Great game imo, although I haven't finished it, had to reformat my hdd, and never installed it again. Hmmmm, maybe I should finish it now.
