Gamewatcher:
StarDrive 2 lets me play as a race of samurai space bears, and therefore it is hard for me to provide an unbiased review. Providing me with the ability to conquer the galaxy as an ursine warrior-race is always going to win points with me. That said there’s plenty of solid genre competition out there (space-bears or no) so it’s fortunate that Zero Sum’s sci-fi strategy game has plenty going for it apart from its galactic menagerie of playable races.
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.
