    Really an interesting strategy game. Absolutely epic in scope, a little buggy, but very ambitious. If you want to try something genuinely different (and are able to concentrate and learn well), the price is right for Lost Empire Immortals.

    An interesting 4X games that has a staggering scope of up to 6000 planets for you to explore. As you can tell, this game can be staggeringly complex to manage and to win. I like the graphics in general, but two points - first, the spaceships fleet graphics on the galactic scale could have been better represented. And second, you can forget about planets... they are just tiny little things orbiting the stars. The alien races tend to expand very fast and can be quite demoralising while you figure out a strategy to defeat them. Overall, this game is pretty decent and will suck up a lot of my time to explore. Recommend you read the reviews of this game elsewhere objectively, it is really not that bad. If you are into 4X games, then I personally can say that it is slightly more fun than MOO3. Too bad this game can't run on my 1024x600 mini notebook, only on my home computer.

    As a fan of deep, long strategy games I really wanted to like this game. I tried to like it. But because of a lack of decent learning tools (the tutorial is very basic, the manual doesn't answer a lot of questions, the in-game help is skeletal) and a lot of bugs I could not. There are some really intriguing ideas found in the game though, such as the great leader system which allows you to educate and assign great people born in your society to specific roles, and the idea of discovering your race's lost history which allows you to access new/old technologies and other benefits. At the price point, the game might be worth it to you if you're willing to put some effort into sucking the entertainment out.

    THis game is highly recomendable to those gamers who are reallly into space games. Not only has it got a colossal galactic map but i also allows us to build our own ships as we ssee fit. In fact you even get to chose how each type of ship gets equiped before you start mass producing it. Its tech tree is also very big and it allows you to take different routes while your playing. The big variety of minor races also means you get some action before the real fighting begins with the others players. The only bad thing is that this game doesnt have multiplayer games. A really good game, with a final patch or two this game can become pone of the best space games ever made.

    This game has huge maps, a tech tree that does not run out even if it is limited is what areas can be researched, simple planet managment, takes less time to get into than games like Space Empires, the diplomacy is passable but not great. My biggest problem with it (other than bugs, which can be patched) is that if you get to many resources the counter loops around.

    I purchased this game for the multiplayer aspect and currently that appears to not work. I wanted to like this game but at its current state i rate it only 2 out of 5 stars and multiplayer is inoperative.

    This is a fun game, provided you have all the patches. It is a budget title so it is unfair to compare it to the Galactic Civilizations II series. But. Lost Empire: Immortals is fun to play and for its price point does quite well. Make no mistake, this is an IMMENSE game and if you give it time, it WILL hook you! I like to play it when I am in the mood for a 4X session but do not want to get in as deep as GCII. If you or anyone you know is considering buying this game, please buy it here. When last I checked, the forums for this game were closed, and Pollux Game Labs are rumoured to be out of business. There MAY be another place to get the patches of course, but buying from Gamer's Gate assures you that you will have all the patches in one place. This game compares favourably in my opinion to Space Empires V. It has been almost two years and that game is still being patched. If you can afford it and love space 4X games I would recommend the following: The Galactic Civilizations II series for insane customisability, Lost Empire: Immortals (available here), Space Empires IV for the sheer amount of mods including Star Trek and Babylon 5. Sword of the Stars and Born of the Blood (available here), and Sins of a Solar Empire. Thanks Gamers Gate for Lost Empire: Immortals! 4 out of five stars!!

    In the current state of this game I have no choice but to give it 2 stars. While the patch fixed most of the real gamebreaking crash bugs and some of the turn calculation slowdowns, the game is still in a very incomplete state. The AI could be described as laughable, there are many minor gameplay bugs, and the so called story reeks of rushed development and a hurried release. This is really, really sad. The game shows true potential and with some polish I would count it among the classics of the space 4x genre. In itīs current state however, I strongly discourage anyone to buy it. When/if the game gets fixed, itīs a strong buy recommendation instead.

    Lost Empire Immortals is Lost Empire with a much improved UI, still alot of problems, and I was getting long turn delays on a high end pc later in game. The game could also use a larger tech tree and better diplomacy options, got tired of being spammed by send us mineral's or else by almost every race I met ever few turns. Still the game is Much improved from Lost Empires is still more of an expansion then a new game though imo even if it is much more polished, and not worth the combined buying price of both even with the 33% discount.

    Have been playing this game - a few bugs remain. A bigger tech tree would be good as would PBEM - overall im going to give it 8 out of 10. Hopefully patch support will be ongoing as well as new updates etc. Pollox have a good history of support ( ongoing support for their games) one thing that does bug me with some titles is the buggy nature followed by no follow up patches and even worse is late patches for download digitial games ie from gamers gate ( not this one but a few others i wont mention) the graphics are great, turn based is good, map and ship combat is very well done , good job pollox could use some minor tweaks but i guess they will read the paradox forums and take all suggestions on board
