With an asking price of twenty bucks over at DreamSpike's website, it's hard not to appreciate what the developers have done with Space War Commander. Uninspired title aside, the game embraces one of the most successful design philosophies of all time: take a few basic concepts and put them together in ways that create interest and complexity. It's true that the game's difficulty limits its potential audience, but the short missions and the variations in strategies will definitely appeal to most strategy gamers.

Imagine being in control of a space base and having to defend against an enemy, as well as traders in your rankings. Everything was going well, asteroids were yours other planets were potentially yours and then you discovered someone in your own ranks had hit the self destruct button in your space base. Why your space base has a self destruct button is a different story, but someone has engaged the self destruct button and now your base is going to explode if you don't get to the enemies base and destroy it first in Space War Commander.
