Reviews of Eclipse

Leave a Review Eclipse
  • Unplayable - Game crashes

    Don’t buy. I finished my first turn and the game freezes with the next AI player “contemplating their turn”.
  • Barely functional

    AI bots become stuck thinking, stalling the game. The developer’s website is down/gone.

    So sad that there isn’t any support for this game anymore.
  • The worst version of an excellent game

    This app is built with the original rules of the game, which had some balance issues. Notably, the missiles don’t require power, so loading them up on a dreadnaught with some computers is unstoppable. It also doesn’t implement some notable improvements from the game’s expansions, such as variable turn order. For some reason, the game also considers moving through an allied species’ unoccupied territory as an aggressive action and gives you the traitor penalty.
    Hopefully, the publisher will upgrade the app and enable content from the expansions some day. The actual board game is excellent in its current iteration.
