I have been keeping an eye on Terra Invicta for interest in the space development side of the game mostly. But now that it’s released I’ve decided, reluctantly, that it is not for me as it’s basically two different games stapled together, with some deeply questionable design choices.
Thinking about it gave me that spreadsheet game itch and it occurred to me that something that puts a grand strategy spin on kerbal space program would be really cool! Focus on mission planning, management, and R&D for early space flight through near future space industrial development/mining/permanent bases.
Has anyone heard of anything like that? Or should I just cave and give Aurora 4x another go?
as a boardgame you can have a look at Leaving Earth or to something more complex like High Frontier 4 All.
Computer I played MArs Horizon, but I wasn’t a big fun, mostly because at the end I discover that I enjoy the planning but i also enjoy the handling of the ship
Can you elaborate on your critique of Mars Horizon? Someone else recommended it so I have been looking in to it.
