Lost Empire: Immortals review

Lost in space, we hold out a thumb and hope for the best

Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.

While the story is light and terribly translated at times, the quests are rewarding enough (resource-wise) to keep you doing them, although you’ll get tired of random civilisations saying, “We are tired of your presence, give us some minerals.” You may even find yourself lapsing into a fugue state involving automatically blowing up anyone you meet, just to stop them complaining about you.

While this is isn’t a particularly original nor brilliant game, it’s fun once you get past the bomb of research and design that the game drops on you. Just don’t expect a tutorial that will explain how to play this game; trial and error are your friends. Once you’ve allied with them, Lost Empire: Immortals will be one too.
