Critic Reviews for Sid Meier's Starships
Sid Meier's Starships produces a few good tactical battles before its AI loses steam and its strategy gets frustrating.
Get a cardboard box, paint it silver, sit in it and pretend you're Kirk. There, we just saved you some cash.
Still, small beans in a game that is otherwise so elegantly put together. Starships isn't Civ, but it is Sid, and that's fine by me.
Those looking for a core strategy experience may be disappointed, but the game is well suited for those that want a fun (if fleeting) tactical game
Sid Meier's Starships stretches a thin premise over barebones gameplay systems.
Sid Meier's Starships is a short and sweet companion game to Civilization: Beyond Earth that doesn't overstay its welcome. Without many options for game setup and a multiplayer mode, Starships is limited in scope, but its ship-focused combat and breezy progression has a broad appeal that fits well for both PC and iOS platforms.
Fast-paced and accessible are not words commonly used to describe turn-based strategy games, but Sid Meier's latest is a fun, breezy strategic time killer.
