If you are ready for a grand space strategy epic, this an amazing specimen on iOS.
Before playing Eclipse I believed that what it set out to achieve was nigh impossible. The board game offers many things that seem mutually incompatible. The app squeezes a game needing acres of table into an iPad screen. You’ll need dedication to experience this marvel: the rules are complex, the strategy makes your head hurt and the app isn’t as good as it should be at making the game accessible. But if you’re up to the challenge, the effort you put into this game will be rewarded a hundredfold in terms of entertainment.
Classy design, comfortable handling, challenging turn based strategy. This is the best board game conversion far and wide – 4X at its best!
A deep strategic battle for dominance among alien races, Eclipse is a robust and challenging affair that translates well to the touchscreen.
An incredibly polished and compulsive offering. [Aug 2013, p.77]
Sceptics will have their own reasons for shaking their heads and walking away, but those who make the investment will find a rewarding experience, with oodles of depth, hours of playtime and, yes, an abundance of menus.
Eclipse: New Dawn for the Galaxy is a solid digitization of a compelling board game marred by an insanely steep learning curve and very little help for new players.
