“One of my favorite games. I love just how unique this game is and how fun it can be. No other game can have you going from Stomping raiders to being stomp by mutant hordes from the poles. To fighting for every scrap of…”

“A game of unlimited potential sullied by the use of AI generated slop where none was needed. It breaks my heart that I can no longer enjoy a game that I am constantly thinking about.”

“There are just no games out there like that, great blend of 4x and wargame in the post-apocalypse setting. Mechanics and simulations are deep, there is a great immersion and replayability. I am still finding something…”

“Really enjoying the game, love the depth and setting. The AI art is perfectly fine for an indie developer, and I think all of the hate is unwarranted. Update: I have followed this game for ages and finally picked it up.…”

“Gonna drop a positive review to support the dev. The ai art negative reviews gloss over the fact its a togglable option and personally, I like the diversity and don't think they look bad. About the game itself,…”

“AI is a tool to help creators advance their projects as they see fit. Is it AI slop if the dev uses AI then enhances it with his own creativity? I'd say not, just look at expedition 33 that game was great and made by a…”

“A classical 4x strategy that respects the player's intellect. The depth of a paradox game, with the old school grognard gameplay of the 90s. Infinitely replayable, excellent AI adversaries and allies, and a unique…”

“Shadow Empire is one of the most overlooked games of the 4X genre, a masterpiece of emergent storytelling and procedurally dynamic gameplay that blend politics, economy, ideology, and above all else, logistics into a…”

“Shadow Empire is a 4x game focused on the war side of the genre. Deep simulations add tons of detail, while still being able to mostly be ignored while learning the game. The base game is totally playable and complete.…”

“Game is fun and I've spent a lot of time playing it. The complaints about AI are overblown given that the dev is one person. Games have used procedural generation for years, this is just the next iteration of it. The…”
