Accessible is still not the first word that comes to mind here, but at least developer Stardock are now making an effort. You get a bit of backstory, with humans seeking revenge against the orc-like Drengin, and some of the tech tree items are filled in automatically, but it’s really just to ease in new players.īut that’s a good thing, because one of the main problems with the last game was a lack of decent tutorials and in-game help.
There is a story campaign if you find all the options too daunting, but apart from trying to fulfil a number of more specific objectives it’s not really much different from just playing in a smaller galaxy.
