Sci-Fi Grand Strategy Game for PC: Nexus 5X Review
Nexus 5X is a premium strategy game for PC from developer Whatboy Games, offering a 4X grand strategy experience set in the vastness of space. Players engage in a galactic conquest, expanding territories, discovering new systems, and competing for dominance over the galaxy. Similar to Stellaris and Dune: Imperium, Nexus 5X features multiple factions with rich lore, standing out with its unique board game-like gameplay condensed into hour-long sessions. The game provides a more approachable experience within the grand strategy genre, making it ideal for both seasoned players and newcomers.
Nexus 5X offers players the choice of 11 factions, each with three leaders, shaping gameplay styles significantly. With turn-based combat and faction-specific perks triggered through a card system, players strategize battles with multiple ship types featuring unique skills. While the game excels in providing engaging gameplay, there is room for improvement in enhancing the tutorial system for new players to grasp complex mechanics effectively.
