It's a good thing I'm not married because this game could be considered legitimate grounds for divorce. It's the best game in its genre I've seen in a long time, and I've been getting paid to review games for what, close to five years now.So yeah, has a lot going for it, not the least of which is its underdog status.
Anyway, Space Empires IV is a turn-based space strategy game, a genre usually called 'Galactic Conquest' or 4x (as in Explore, Expand, Experiment, and Exterminate, or something like that, I can.

The publisher, is a small little outfit that sells quality niche strategy and wargames exclusively online. Even more remarkably, the 'developer' of this game, is essentially one guy (Aaron Hall), programming the game in his spare time, after his regular job. Flipping through the credits you can see there's a couple others that helped out with some art and programming, and about thirty (!) people credited for playtesting, with nary an executive producer in sight. Certainly makes you think about the way they do some things in this industry, doesn't it?Of course this bare bones approach does have a down side - the multimedia glitz here is essentially nil. Most of the graphics.
