Shadow Empire - A Unique Military Strategy Game
Shadow Empire is a military strategy game developed by VR Designs that allows you to rule a small nation and take it to new heights of glory in a post-apocalyptic world. The game offers a vast range of features that include military conquest, diplomacy, budget management, organizational management, economy, infrastructure, design, and many more.
The game has a very procedural design, which ensures re-playability and experimentation. The planets are procedurally generated, and the equipment you are fighting with is also. The game also has a separate system for discovering Techs, Formation Types, and Model Types and their research/development, which ensures that you’ll have to work with different playing pieces each game.
Shadow Empire has a strong thematic focus on keeping things relatively realistic, and for a strategy game, there is a relatively strong roleplaying angle. You’ll need to keep your leaders happy to ensure they do their jobs well and not get any ideas of rebellion. The game has a lot of potential micro-management to engage in, but the game has Stratagems that allow sweeping actions by just clicking the ‘play stratagem’ button.
Overall, Shadow Empire is a truly unique game that offers a very rich experience. It is one of the most ambitious games VR Designs ever made, and it is no cookie-cutter of something you have already seen before.
