Beyond Sol by Praxia Entertainment
The 4x game is easy to play and very hard to master, thanks primarily to the known unknowns that are presented to the player. Beyond Sol is a game that ostensibly looks like a 4x game, but turns out to be something more akin to an RTS. The player starts out creating and city and flying around space in a ship they are given from the outset that has some limited capabilities. Eventually other cities appear and factions start to exert their authority across vast swathes of space. Chris ORegan chats to Praxia Entertainment about Beyond Sol amongst many other things to boot.
