Default Re: Anyone played Lost Empires?
Never heard of it until now... looks like it might be ok. Definitely seems like it would pale in comparison to any SE in terms of mod-ability. Graphics looks like a clunkier version of SEV plus cutscenes, unless the clunkier screenshots are just from the game running at lower quality. Ship design looks like a direct rip-off from SEV. There's definitely more manpower behind it than SE... snooping on their site looks like there's five full-time programmers and four full-time artists.

Costs $30, but appears to be download-only. Reviews say that the documentation may as well be non-existent, and some parts of the game are not intuitive... and I didn't see any kind of demo link. So I probably wouldn't buy.
