Asylamba: Influence

Very good game with an original gameplay and gorgeous design! The mechanics of the game seems quite complex at first but the tutorial does its job by introducing them step by step. After a few hours of playing I must say I'm getting quite addicted. For a 6$ game, I'm stunned by the neat design!

Review in a) german and b) english at release (Mai/may 2018): a) german Pro: - stimmiges Design - einige Level sind eine echte Herausforderung - es gibt eine gewisse Abwechslung - das Spielprinzip ist durchdacht und passt: Spielspaß ist vorhanden Kontra: - einige bugs aktuell: steam-Awards funktionieren nicht, Übersetzung ins Deutsche ist nicht durchgängig vorhanden (vermutlich ein Bug), Tutorial endet ohne Abschluss-Bildschirm - zu langes Tutorial - kein Speichern in der Cloud möglich Fazit: Ein durchdachtes, auf das Wesentliche reduzierte (im positiven Sinne) Spiel, das den Strategen unter euch sicher für mehrere Stunden Freude bereiten wird. Solange das Spiel nicht mehr als ca. 8 € ( = 1249 norkoreanische Won : ) kostet, ist das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis gut und das Spiel für Strategiefans empfehlenswert. b) english: pro: - good design - the grade of difficult is good - some level are a good challenge - the strategies and levels are not repitive, so you have some al...

What I can say so far is that the way you get to influence remind me a lot of Asiimov's Foundation story. You are provided many different possibilities (which I won't spoil here) to create a network of stars. Graphics are great, wallpapers are wonderful and worth the price. The music is sometimes a bit boring but that's just a detail that may be changed in an update (I hope). All in all the price is totally worth the game. The quality is very good, and the strategic aspect is quite original also.

Visually pleasing with an interesting gameplay, this game overdelivers! An awesome surprise!

Although the tutorial is a bit long, it explains all the mechanics and gives clues about the different strategies to adopt in future missions. Otherwise, I like this addictive side that forces us to redo again and again missions after losing lamentably against the AI. I have several times shouted against my screen when she took me hostage. I hate it I hate it I haaaate it! But at the end, I AM THE WINNER! Last point, the design: I'm more than a fan! Well done!

The price is more than correct for the content provided. The images when launching a mission or mission choices are absolutely beautiful. I enjoyed discovering this space world where the expansion of culture is the way to rule the universe. Thanks for this game!

Graphics are pretty cool and simple, you forget rather quickly you're sending scientists and priests to extend your cultural influence over planetary systems. The game feels more like a puzzle game, and it's very rewarding to finally succeed at a level you failed ten times because you committed too much on the wrong strategy. Difficulty is very fluctuant. In some levels, you'll feel like the opponants are playing badly on purpose, and some other times they use their abilities in an optimized way that doesn't leave you much hope. Overall a very good game, with a nice setting.

Simple rules but complex situations. Needs timing and strategy. More you advance, more you have to try and retry. A good game, but the music is quickly boring. I hope this will be improved. Several little things in the UI needs to be improved, but nothing serious.

At the lower difficulty levels, [i]Asylamba: Influence[/i] just isn't very compelling or rewarding. At the higher difficulty levels, it simply isn't skill-based. It needs re-balancing to be a well-built game whose design fulfills its aims. Sadly, there appears to be no one reading the Forums and no other method for providing feedback to the Devs.

Achievements are bugged making them tedious to unlock. I beat it on the hardest difficulty but still have to go back and do it on a lower difficulty. FML.
