Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“A classic RTS game from 90s. So old that is was DOS based. It had many great features that other games lacked. Imperium Galactica has both the combat and resource management elements. Which grow in complexity as the in game campaign story…”
“This is one of my favorite strategy games of all time, but it's very buggy through Steam on Windows 10. Crashes every 5 minutes or so, and very laggy.”
