Horizon

I bought the Game for just under 10 EUR in the Steam sale and at that Price you definitely don't go wrong. In the Previews here, the Game has been riven profusely-primarily by "Master of Orion 2" FANBOYS, who-much like "Rome TW"-and "Medieval TW" fanboys on "TW Rome 2"-clarify "their" play on each new Release and tear up the New Release. Actually, these Comments would have stopped me from Buying-luckily they didn't. Basically, I can only respond to the Reviews here: I have now played the Game for almost 20-30 Hours and will continue to play it. The Game is basically a very solid 4X Sci-fi game and doesn't have to hide behind Endless Space. If you compare both Games, there are many Similarities, but also some clear Differences. With Endless Space, the Interface and Game surface is more consistent or uncramped than I had to experience at HORIZON. Just Upgrading reconfigured ship Classes can be quite annoying And time-consuming. Graphically, Too, Endless Space sometimes makes more, but in some cases HORIZON is also better-I personally find the System view more successful than With Endless Space. The Galaxy View, on the other hand, is very reminiscent of Birth of the Federation-is fine, but not as beautiful As Endless Space. Tactically, HORIZON requires more than Endless Space. If Endless Space Was sufficient, for example, to close important Hubs with Fleets, every Star system is freely accessible at HORIZON. Will it with Endless Space With advancing research as well, but until that Point it takes many Rounds and then this Movement is slower than on the "official Space roads." The Fights (unfortunately only in Space) are convincing at HORIZON. Endless Space massive. Here you can tear a Lot tactically and also tear it away-I play on very easily and the AI sometimes mists me up. Basically, the Fights are completely round-based controllable. Where HORIZON unfortunately stinks, this is the Colony structure-there are only 6 "Building types" (Trade, Food, industry, Leisure, Colony, Research) and each Colony has limited Capacity (usually Between 8 and 12 "Buildings"). You can build the 6 Species and up to 3 (or 4?) Mal upgrade. Each time, 1 Point is consumed in Capacity. Here, Endless Space offers a lot more. Diplomacy and Trade are very solid-not too little, not too much. With HORIZON it seems a bit more difficult to me than with Endless Space. .. With the last Game, you could actually use enough Zaster to make the "Partners" naked quite quickly and facilitate resources, Technology and Systems. The Research System itself is well thought-out. Fallen that in the 6 Categories (Construction, Drive, Biotech, Armor, Weapons, Energy (?) Can focus on individual Subclasses at the Expense of the other Subcategories, while further research is carried out in the Category. From That, one of the Categories can still be pushed at the Expense of the others. What goes on AT HORIZON's point of view is the Overview. For example, I didn't know how to explore Shields for my Spaceships and only get them as a new Subcategory through research in the Category "Armour." This is better solved at Endless Space. (Little Tip: Pulling into battle Without Shields means a quick Victory .. .. In Sum, More research can be done (felt) than Endless Space-6 Categories with X subcategories with 10 Levels each.
