Imperium Galactica has without a doubt some of the slickest artwork and interfaces in the space strategy genre. As a newly assigned lieutenant, your job is to restore order to a system that has been under attack and left severely crippled. Your choices are given to you from a simulated starship bridge that interfaces you to the solar system as well as the surface of the planets you have been assigned to manage. As you rebuild the colonies you receive certain perks such as monetary units and even an increase in population. Pirates seem to continually prey on convoys and it's up to you to dissuade them.
Aliens make a surprise visit occasionally to test the water.
Sounds in this game are flawless. The artwork is excellent. Someone paid careful attention to detail and the color palette is a notch above other space strategy games including Masters of Orion. The game s concept is realistic to say the least. That is a whole lot of good things to say about a game.
