The Last Federation

The game has a horrid tutorial that is three times more wordy than it should and explains less than one-tenth of what it needs. Here are seven new races, here are three new weapons, and three power modes, and here is a senate... oh did you know that each planet has its own political system for you to study? Here's a list of two hundred technologies for you to read. Abysmal experience. The combat could have been a nice tactical fighting game but the game is much more insistent on having you study its arcane lore and obtuse game mechanics than letting you actually play and familiarize yourself with any of them. If I had fifty hours to sink into this game to actually understand what is going on, what the game wants me to do, and what the effects of my actions are, I might start having fun, but I'm not willing to bet my time on that. Two hours in, the game just keeps getting worse and worse. And if the start of the game -the part which most people will play- is bad. If the developers can't be bothered to make it enjoyable. The odds of them being able to make the rest of it any better are miniscule, and I have no desire to get myself trapped in a sunk-cost fallacy. Not recommended.

Is this a joke? The writing is utter trash first of all, feels like a 9 year old wrote the script. The voice acting is cringe and unwanted. Literally my experience: >squint to read cringe dialogue >press buttons that have next to know input display so u have no idea if anything is working/selected >spend 2minutes clicking buttons trying to move; confused why the hell u can't move at times >finish intro mission and get to next tutorial...click right mouse key by mistake...TUTORIAL INFO GONE >THERE IS NO DELAY SO IF UR PRESSING RIGHT CLICK b4 MISSION ENDS THAT TUTORIAL IS GONE >get to planet screen....okay....try to do stuff..."YOU CANNOT DO THIS NOW"... >what can I do? hire diplomats....ok start spamming this options 10 different times for each planet >What can I do now? nothing apparently other than "help build fleet" >click "help build fleet"....confused nothing happens, try and do something else...says "ABANDON MISSION?" >okay I don't want to abandon mission...am I almost done my mission? NO idea NO PROGRESSS ICON >hit fast forward cause game says to....OKAY. fast forward and sit there for 60s. >GEE this doesn't seem right, the game seems to be going by with me doing nothing >Mission gives prompt saying it completed....okay I guess that was the right thing to do...? >Try to "do stuff again" NOPE. "YOU CANNOT DO THIS YET". Click another "build fleet option" >wait.....wait.....WAITING FOR 2MINUTES ON FAST FORWARD FOR IT TO COMPLETE IT NEVER DOES. >GAME ENDS, SAYS I LOST????? WHAT??? I DIDNT EVEN COMPLETE TWO MISSIONS OR PLAY ANY COMBAT OR GET TO DO ANYTHING WHATSOEVER IT FORCED ME TO SIT THERE WAITING FOR THE SECOND MISSION TO COMPLETE. Returning this trash
