    And while the commanders feel a little hollow, they are sufficient to get into the spirit of the game. Veterans of the genre may find themselves hungering for more, but new to intermediate players should be pleased with the offering.
  2. An interesting strategy game that is best suited for beginners and intermediate players. It has some intricate micromanagement elements but overall it's a relatively easy game to learn and play.
  3. A different type of strategy game, which offers some new ideas, but still doesn't manage to rise above the crowd in any significant manner. Best for fans of finite board games.
  4. A decent turn-based strategy game in a market deluged with RTS madness.
  5. The problem that ultimately hurts Supremacy, though, is the game's AI. If there were more challenge to it, this game would be a heck of a lot more fun to play.
  6. A low-complexity game that's easy to learn and, unfortunately, very easy to master.
  7. The reality of Supremacy is that is actually presents two totally different and unique strategy experiences. Both are good, but not great and both are punctuated with some really innovative ideas.
  8. The strategy in Supremacy has all the depth of a wading pool. [June 2005, p.65]
  9. The game's annoyances would perhaps be tolerable if the gameplay itself was challenging and interesting. Unfortunately this is not the case. The AI takes a straightforward, brute force approach to its play and it always seems to overreact to your actions.
  10. Simply without depth. [Aug 2005, p.87]
  11. The combat is too simple, the resource system is too complex, and the small flashes of brilliance get lost in the mediocrity of the rest of the design. [July 2005, p.67]

    Good turn-based strategy game with some technical flaws but a lot of fun and easy to pick up.
