Then the player must set up their Empire. An excellent idea, although it isn’t that easy to use. Those include galaxy shape and size, and how many opponents will there be to challenge your rule. There’s a vast array of options to select from.
#TWO WORLDS 2 REVIEWS HOW TO#
To begin, the player must choose how to organize their universe. The game still offers the classic 4X set up, however. As a result, Distant Worlds 2 is far more approachable than its venerable predecessor.

They’ve updated the graphics, cleaned the old, somewhat eccentric UI and made the overall experience much slicker. A sprawling 4X strategy (E xplore, E xpand, E xploit and of course, E xterminate).ĬodeForce have worked hard to move Distant Worlds on.

Distant Worlds 2ĭistant Worlds 2 is the sequel to the venerable, quirky but in many ways classic Distant Worlds (and its uber-cousin Distant Worlds Universe). The President nods and the construction work begins. “You should build more exploration ships”. It’s one of the myriad advisers to the Republic. Their fearless leader sighs and looks at it. Their scientists strive to develop a “stable warp field” as their pre-warp ships travel across explored space.Īnother pop up appears. Their ancient Republic stands for justice, fairness and law. I think most people would tell you Two Worlds / Two Worlds II are mediocre - standard fare, like you said - but not bad.In a dark corner of a hostile galaxy, the primitive tribe of New Hellas have finally mastered spaceflight and begin to slowly edge out of their gravity well to explore the rest of their star-system. The people saying avoid it at all costs are probably people who played Skyrim, wanted another open-world fantasy game, and shit all over this one when it wasn't the same. If you really like the genre you'll probably find something to like. I would compare them to Sacred (the first one, not the others which were garbage), if you ever played that - I enjoyed it more just because I'm more of an ARPG Diablo-y kinda guy, but they're both similar in that they're kinda generic and budget-y but if you like the genre you'll probably get some enjoyment out of them. The actual content and style of the games are different, but I wouldn't say one is a higher-quality product. I have seen some people say it's a worse game than the first, but personally I didn't notice a huuuge difference in quality (although I didn't finish either game, to be fair). If you're REALLY into fantasy RPGs, you would probably enjoy it even though it's kind of generic and clunky and doesn't really stand out above the pack.įor me, Two Worlds II felt like more of the same. Two Worlds felt like a really generic RPG. It's not a masterpiece by any measure but I've seen some people report that they enjoyed it, so I guess it's possible even taking all of the above into account. I'd say if you're still interested after reading some reviews and it's on a nice sale go ahead and get it. I also had some fun with the musical instruments "mini games". The way magic spells are crafted in this game is pretty unique and offers some fun combinations. TWII does have a couple of interesting features. for example getting mobs stuck on the terrain so they can be finished off at range. I also felt that the difficulty was a bit wack as even the earliest quests can quickly end in death unless you take advantage of the numerous bugs. The entire package is pretty low budget, it's especially noticeable in bland story, bad voice acting, terrible animations and frequent bugs. It's an almost decent game, most of the complaints are can be overlooked by themselves but if taken together they hurt this game plenty. I gave this game a couple of hours some years ago.
