About This Game Apollo4x is a game of transporting 5 resources between planets, and you have limited fuel to do so. It's a bit puzzle, a bit resource management, and some tycoon strategy. There are no build queues, and you are having meaningful interaction with your economy every single turn. There are no "other players" to compete against, but we've instead used a "time pressure" type enemy that consumes planets as it spreads across the map - because a fun game needs a challenge component, and we find symmetric AI opponents problematic in other games, so this was the best solution. Difficulty is fully in your control, and ranges from zero-challenge to something the creators can't beat, so you'll find your own best settings with experience.Apollo4x has "4X" in the title, but this is not an indicator that we've made a "traditional formula" title like Master of Orion, or the games that follow that economic and combat model. Steam has a multitude of games that do, and do it so well that there's no point in us making a competitor to them. The IdeaWhat we did is toss out the economic model of exploring a hidden map, having AI opponents that attempt to play the same game as the player (because they generally fail, and obviously cheat) and long build queues where you just hit "next turn" 100 times before anything significant happens. Rather than have you build a navy of spaceships and militarily conquer other simulated players, we made more of a tycoon puzzle economy. Each planet has three "exports" and you put two "imports" on them. Money is made by matching exports on one planet to imports on another, with the limitation of fuel availability, which is dependent on how upgraded each planet is. The EnemySince we don't have simulated players to compete against, we decided on using a "creeping doom" style opponent. The enemy spreads out organically from their homeworld(s) at a pace you determine in the difficulty settings. You can, and will have to, slow their spread and defend your own planets from this steadily encroaching threat. Each enemy colony adds +1 army to their homeworld defense, so the player is encouraged to keep the enemy from growing into an impossible strength and speed of expansion by "pruning" their colonies. If your chosen win condition is to cleanse the galaxy of them entirely, you'll have to weaken them first through attrition.CombatWe went out of the 4X realm and built in a tactical card game inspired in part by some of our favorite tabletop combat games. Morale, combined arms, and multiple possible tactics for each of the very unique units to choose from every turn. Four different enemy clans to battle, based on the four horsemen - death, war, pestilence and famine. Each has an entirely different set of units and tactics and requires a completely different battle plan to beat. War fights with brute force, while pestilence attacks with morale crushing horror weapons, and death gave up their bodies for machines and now are the unliving reapers. Currently there is no space combat or fleet building, being instead like Starship Troopers where your troops are "dropped in" and just fight the ground war. This is to keep things simple and not have two different combat systems in a game that's primarily a trading puzzle - but if Apollo4X does well, it's on the list for whatever sequel we make.WinningWinning the game is accomplished by either economic or military means. You can kill all the enemy homeworlds. Alternately, stockpile 300 of each market resource, or upgrade your colonies to produce a cumulative 500 "stellar network" points and colonize 20 planets. Military, economic, or expansion victory is your choice.Game DifficultyFinally, we allowed you maximum choice of difficulty. Tailor the game to your needs, so you feel challenged but not overwhelmed. If you think the economy could be more resistive, turn it up. If you want to not worry about enemy expansion you can weaken them, start them with less colonies, or lower rate of expansion. Or, if you really like the combat game, set the economy to easy and add all four enemy types to the map at maximum strength -- good luck with that, though. If you want to go fully casual, we even allow you to turn off economic failure, and have unlimited funds to experiment with. We, as players ourselves, lose interest in games that are too hard or too easy, so it seemed important to give the player full control of it. Since most people want to play on "average", we'll be listening to feedback about which difficulty settings are most popular and adjust the "average" levels to those trends down the road a bit.We dared to be different in a genre full of excellent but too similar titles. If different is what you need, this is it. 7aa9394dea Title: Apollo4xGenre: Action, Adventure, Casual, Indie, RPG, Simulation, StrategyDeveloper:Digital EntertainmentPublisher:Digital EntertainmentRelease Date: 5 May, 2015 Apollo4x Activation Code And Serial Key For Pc apollo 4 wheeler. apollo 4510. apollo 440 stop the rock. apollo 4200 gen10. apollo 4 launch. apollo 4200. apollo 4200 gen9 terrible interface. This game is a new kind of 4x. My first run beating the game it crashed 0 times! Pretty good for a Steam game these days. If you are into 4x games and dont mind card based battles buy this. Make sure to watch the video and read the manual.9/10. Bad game.It's good for trading cards. This review has been completely changed AFTER the reply from the dev.DON'T BUY! REALLY! DON'T BUY!Not only is this game bad, the developer is a scammer too.He used friendship and even offered free content (which never appeared) just to make me get past the 2 hours refund limit.I really made lots of efforts in trying to get this game to become good (hence the 17 hours). I did lots of bug reports and the dev made it look like he really liked it while he was actually waiting for me to shut up after I got past the 2 hour refund limit. When I posted topics with the title: "game becomes unplayable after...", he asked me to change the title as it was bad publicity... After some time he just banned me from the forum because I was trying to help the game to become good. Luckily, the Steam support investigated it and found nothing wrong in my posts. Even after his so called "big update", I again tried to do a good test run of the game so that I could write a correct review. It still fails and becomes unplayable after some time (game usually just hangs at some point, no way to proceed). I haven't been able to change this review for a very long time (I was banned here too) but now it seems to work again, so here it is.. terrible interface. this is a great game kind of hard great if you want a challenge. Sure, some aspects of the game don't change, like the way you trade and make money. But there are many options to make the game harder and when you do you have to be smart about how you use your resources and favors. I like the art work too... it's kind of old school and different. I used to be heavily biased toward "positive" reviewed games, but I've learned to take a good look at a "mixed" review games because those are the ones that often dare to be a little different. Unfortunately some people just want the same formula over and over again and freak out when a game isn't the same old thing they are used to.. It looked interesting until I tried to play it... No tutorial and it deperately needs one. The game is very frustrting to say the least. The UI is utter crap. The zooming is inverted and can't be changed. You can't scroll left or right, but must click on a planet to center the map.Game crashed first two times I tried to play it. On my third attempt, I managed to get to the setup screen before it crashed again.Finally was able to get into the game, then you must colonize 3 planets, and then WHAT?????I got as far as trying to setup a trade route. But since there is no tutorial, you have no idea what you're doing. How do you actually make any money from trade?? How does upgrading a planet affect anything???What should I upgrade on a planet?What's the difference between the various corporations?How do I know which coporation to assign to which planet?How do you gain favors so you can do stuff?How do I make money from trade routes (they're always negative)?Why do I have to reset my trade routes every turn? How the hell do you play this game?There's just too many unanswered questions to to actually enjoy anything about this game.Only thing I got from this game was a headache. The best part about it was deleting it.Don't waste your money on this utter trash.
