Review of Gratuitous Space Battles

Though this game is 2d its very pretty. This game's best feature besides being unique is the fact that there is never a tedious moment. Every click requires an actual decision. Interface is easy and efficient. Learning curve is not steep and the game starts out easy and gives the player a self setting difficulty through the "honor" score system. In total I enjoyed every moment that i played. Many mods are available.
The lack of story is made up by comedy.

My main complaints: Many ship systems are too much alike. Often the battle is decided by getting your ships to fire at targets they can do damage to and getting the enemy to do the opposite. The fact that a major part of game-play runs on ai disability is annoying but not too much. A number of strategies (namely stay a distance away from enemies or hit and run) are completely impossible because no such options exist in ai.

This game is not for everyone as the later game-play and replay-ability is for strategy fans. However the beginning and the demo is a treat for anyone. Demo which will download fast, install faster and work on anything.

This game is kind of like Battleships Forever. Although that game is about positioning and tactics while this is about design and strategy i guess.
