GR:
Space and the 4X strategy genre go together like peanut butter and chocolate. StarDrive 2 attempts to capitalize on the combination and comes away marginally successful. It hits all the necessary notes in unspectacular fashion, though the ship-building aspect stands out as one of the more noteworthy features. The game fails to deviate from a familiar path and thus loses its impact, but players who know what to expect will likely find something to enjoy in StarDrive 2.
Justin at Skewed and Reviewed looks at Star Drive 2 and liked what he saw. He enjoyed the mix of action and strategy, although he did have a few issues with the final game.
GES Writes: "Explore the stars, meet new civilizations and investigate abnormalities. Stardrive 2 allows you to do all this in an epic 4x Strategy game by Zero Sum Games and Iceberg Interactive.
The first Stardrive was a great success and Stardrive 2 is following in it’s foot steps. 4X Strategy games can become monotonous very quickly especially as most do not have a story line or structure to follow. In its own rights 4x Strategy games is about freedom and building your empire your own way but there is something different from Stardrive 2. In the beginning it felt like any other 4x Strategy but the more I played and when I actually started grasping the way this game goes it kept drawing me in."
Not the easiest 4X introduction, but offers a unique option for those searching for an empire-builder.
