I had this game on my old PC and it was amazing to start it and watch that cutscene of the ships fighting against each other. It was so great, but unfortunately I was too young to fully understand the game, so please, give me another chance to revisit and fully enjoy Reach for the Stars.
I love that it lets me design everything from scratch—custom alien races, starships, even the look and lore of the alien faction. On the surface it’s a very simple 4X game—basic UI, straightforward strategy—but for some reason I can’t stop craving it. I miss playing it terribly. Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s the fact that I never actually beat it, or maybe its just because I just want to command my own galactic empire in this game again.
