Having significant, strategic decisions is critical for a turn-based strategy game. Players want a cause to pause, to weigh options, take advantage of modifiers. They want to explore in the best direction, expand into enemy territory, find and exploit weaknesses, and exterminate with few casualties. Players want choices and consequences with emotional weight, that stir the imagination and further the game narrative. The opposite is rote clicking through turns, waiting for something interesting to happen.
Shadow Empire is a unique sandbox of deep simulation in which you, the player, can immerse yourself and make strategic decisions for planetary conquest.
