Auralux: Constellations Review (Frodo)
Love this genre, so automatic thumbs up, that said i prefer solarmax 2 and some other titles, easier controls, strategic difficulty rather than mostly luck and more complex game elements.
art 5/5 noice
controls 4/5 have to double click to repeatedly send out units....also AI does not protect planets very well so you have to select and spam your planet during defence to make sure they dont destroy it eventho your defending army is way bigger
variety 3/5 each pack of say 10 levels features 1 extra element which is fun but would have been cooler if it had all of them in one level, the complexity of levels stays very small
AI 2/5 at any given time the enemies can decide to gang up on you and even if you played really well, its just game over regardless this is really frustrating. they seem to follow the same pattern so some levels i had to search up on youtube and figured out if i take this seemingly stupid random planet, they will suddently not decide to 1v2 me. thats not strategy, more of a luck/puzzle element rather than actually outsmarting the AI.
difficulty 1/5 no options for changing difficulty, and luck seems to be a big factor that often totally destroys a perfectly executed gameplan
