These days, it’s just a part of the business. But at the same time, enhancing or adjusting a release to optimally suit the platform its being played on is far from untapped waters. Considering the differences in processing power, interface, and other variables, comparing what is ultimately a port of a mobile game to its much more elaborate rivals of the same genre, doesn’t really seem fair.
Why does that matter? It matters because the longer I played this game and even when I began to write this review, I came to suspect my experience would not only have been better on an iOS device, but perhaps even the opposite.
#SID MEIERS STARSHIPS ICON PC#
Now before we get too far into this, I think it important to explain that I played Starships on the PC and the PC only. While not being a bad game by any means, there is very little in Starships that won’t leave players at least slightly flustered and wanting more. And it’s for iOS too? So players can put their enemies under-thumb on the go? What more could I hope for?Īs it turns out, what I should have hoped for was a slightly less literal accommodation of the above expectations, in exchange for a more inspired one.
Especially a more action oriented approach, where you could spend a few evening hours blasting your rivals into space debris before headed off to work the next morning. Despite the yay and nay reception the title’s pseudo prequel, Sid Meyer’s Civilization: Beyond Earth, received, I personally enjoyed the game and was happy to be getting more of it. Were you excited when you heard the news of Sid Meier’s: Starships being released? I sure was.
