Shadow Empire PC Game 2021 review:
This game is our discovery of the year. Great, deep, detailed, and atmospheric strategy. The closest competitors are CIVA and HOI.
(Build 17820571 Update added)
But civilization is too cartoonish, the higher the number after the name, the less it immerses in itself. HOI is too historical, you do not feel like a ruler, but only playing a role (IMHO). And this game is great, great immersion with the ministerial reporting system, the ministers themselves, personnel changes. The system of public and private economies, mutually influencing each other. Logistics, which makes it clear that it is she who is the anvil on which victory is forged. The need to make decisions (not abstract, but actually entering each move in the “decisions” tab. Consider many factors, which is the head’s job. Well, and balance all this so that it is your army to capture the planet.
Pros of Shadow Empire:
- Sandbox. You can replay endlessly, while both setting the initial conditions for development and setting a full random. But, moreover, a sandbox with a plot and understandable premises – why are there no living creatures on the planet? Because it has a toxic atmosphere. But all this can be customized.
- A really deep study of each industry. For example, the creation of a combat formation is the need to decide: what size of the unit (battalion, brigade, corps, army), what units it should have (art, light tanks, medium tanks, infantry, vehicles, anti-tank defense, air defense, etc.) moreover, presets can be designed by yourself.
- System of solutions. Each move you need to answer the ministers’ requests by making decisions, and through the system of cards – strategically form the desired course. Moreover, the cards fall out randomly, but within the limits of the policy that you are pursuing. Hit in commerce – there will be a lot of cards that encourage private trade, etc.
- Cadres – all leaders are ministers, military leaders have many characteristics, they gain experience, are members of a party. And we must negotiate with all of them. A good minister can successfully implement important stratagems (and a bad minister can fail all of them). Therefore, it is important to maintain good relations with strong leaders by awarding them medals or making decisions that they approve of.
