Terra Invicta Review | The GRANDEST New Strategy Game!

- Terra Invicta gameplay review arrives slightly ahead of Terra Invicta's Early Access release date of September 27 2022 on Steam. Terra Invicta is a true grand strategy simulation game, combining a detailed geopolitical simulation of earth where players control a faction or organisation rather than a simple nation state. Terra Invicta also simulates its 'phase two' - the industrialization and expansion of our solar system. All of this is supported by a physics-driven space warfare and combat system. Terra Invicta is not a game for the feint hearted, and will require some considerable time investment to even come close to mastering. It can be clunky at times, and accessibility needs work, however I'm excited by the grand scope and ambition of Terra Invicta. From the creators of Long War, an alien invasion has fractured humanity into seven ideological factions each with vision for the future. Lead your chosen faction to take control of Earth’s nations, expand across the Solar System, and battle
enemy fleets in tactical combat. #terrainvicta #review #gaming #strategy #simulation

Title: The GRANDEST Strategy Game! | Terra Invicta Review

If you'd like a longer look - my edited gameplay vid's right here: th-cam.com/video/nFP19VF6sEo/w-d-xo.html
the shit optimization and terrible UI is seen in the video already.
ambitious idea, shit execution, like mostly with indie dev companies
"grand strategy" games.. needs to put more focus on UX/UI, since ur watching spreadsheets a lot... atleast paradox understands that. those damn spreadsheets better look pretty, if big part of the game is looking at them...
The splintering of the humans into separate and mutually antagonistic groups seems amazing from the gameplay side! However, the UI seems like it was designed by programmers (like me) - that's not a compliment.
I hope it becomes more user-friendly and accessible with time 🤞
@@JumboPixel not a big thing to do i guess, not core mechanics
I played the demo and the UI isn't THAT bad. It appears difficult but there are copious mouseover texts that allow you to decide if any particular thing is relevant to the player at any given time. Basically, lots of information but not actually that hard to parse and understand once you are aware of what you want to look at for any given situation.
Its next to impossible to make good ui in such a game
The Best you can do is give everything detailed explanation when you hover over it and color code stuff.
There is just too much possible things to do in such games.
The whole country "conquering" is a whack-a-mole. Terrible UX.
My only observation so far is i wish the game had a better art direction, some assets look way too of "stock", but beyond that im quite impressed for what the game has to offer, and i am enthusiastic for what they will add in the future taking in count is early access
I would say just wait for mods if you’re not happy with the art style of assets. Something tells me mods are what is really going to make this game soar
This game needs more love, its one of the most ambitious grand strategies out there, it makes EU 4 look simple
This is a refreshingly transparent insight into the game. Rather than getting fixated on individual mechanics like many reviewers, you provide a clear, concise overview of what the game is trying to do, how it tries to do it, and how successful it is (or isn't) in accomplishing this. I watch these reviews to get some notion of "is this a game for me", and you manage to provide at least something close to an answer to that question.
Of course the only way I can really get an understanding of whether or not this is something that I would enjoy is to mess with it myself, you have helped me understand whether or not it is even worth the effort.
Thank you!
I'm loving it so far. Not very forgiving, but I'd expect nothing less from the Long War team.
exactly. get your spreadsheets out baby. i'm on something like my 5th or 6th iteration of trying to build a ship that actually works, because each time i try and fix the problem i had with the last one, and discover that now i've got a new problem that i wasn't even aware of. it's great and a lot of 'hands on' learning and trial by fire thats comfortably forgiving to let you make a mistake a couple times to learn without disadvantaging yourself too bad
To be fair about the time investment issues, my first grand strategy game CK3 took me nearly 150 hours, plus a fair amount of learning on TH-cam, to actually begin to feel comfortable with the mechanics.
Game has great potential but I think they need to really make the military stuff on earth more interesting and first of all: make a decent tech tree, its a mess and doesnt look apealing at all.
Does the customize faction option let you rename a faction? I'd assume so, but you never know with Early Access.
Yup - I think there are four things you can rename, including leader titles, etc.
It allows you to rename but it’s not true custom factions stellaris style they keep their original goals
The Cones of Dunshire meets Civ 7 meets Inscryption meets Stronghold? 8>D
So keen, 4 hours left until it's available
The expanse mod when?
From the creators of!
As this game originates from what used to be a modding team who knows they might just make the mod themselves
@@cumunist2120 mod support seems to be a major goal for the team !
I look forward to the inevitable Expanse mods for this game.
The fact, that you control factions and not nation-states, reminds me of the boardgames Imperial and Imperial 2030.
Good review! My only real complaints about this game at this time: 1. Earth-based warfare is too simplistic (and esp. nuclear weapons); 2. The off-earth resource distribution system is ridiculously simplified.
Can’t wait to try this next afternoon!
But it looks like this game needs more spreadsheets. Shouldn’t be hard to add.
I love Long War to the stars and back, but I still fail to see how it is fun to send those counsil people around the map for a long time before one enters space.
How is this game compared to Stellaris? What are the similarities and differences? Both are very complicated and information overwhelming but which one is easier to pick up and get started for beginners?
Probably stellaris. Both are complex but the tutorial in Terra Invicta, while explaining the basics, still leaves you in the dark on a lot of stuff and you will probably restart many times before having a good campaign. By good i mean actually being able to finish the game. Stellaris is complex but even i who is someone that hasn't played that much can say that it gets easier.
Also Terra invicta is just more complex than stellaris in general.
Ooo hello fellow Kiwi!
co-op multiplayer options?
Not at launch. The developers have said that they have developed the game with future multiplayer in mind, and that they will look into it post launch, but have made it clear that this isn't a promise that it will happen.
Praise be our alien overlords! call me toady! I am as green as the aliens. Praise be!
The interface looks like it was designed by Microsoft. Take all useful commands and bury them in random places.
I'm on my first save. Currently mining the hell out of mars and sabotaging everyone's mars programs on earth. Muahaha.
Aaah, it is basically hoi4 but in space, nevermind then
This game has good mechanics but the graphics of a game from 2005...
why do I get XCOM vibes
The game was actually made by the guys that did The Long War mod for Xcom enemy unknown, so there is some influence there.
@@robertlloyd9654 and Xcom 2 ! Try it, it's great !
highly skeptical...sounds good on paper, so did Long War 2. fighting endless retreating battles to realize 40h in that you missed a critical thing 30h in...and now its impossible to win...yea, great fun...NOT.
from what i heard of early reviews this happened in their campaigns already...so, not hopeful, i really thought they would learn from the mixed reception of LW2.
making games challenging is one thing, making them a chore is...something else.
WTF is "simulator of ürth"???
🌍
I don't understand that why Xcom modders which is mostly squad based game, makes a non-squad game at all..
The mods they worked on were for the strategic side of xcom, not the squad combat
why wouldnt they? Currently they are making a whole range of different games
