If you follow the diaries, the pre-release streams, have experience with graph based space games (which are the vast majority) and basically know what you are actually going to buy, go forth with it! :)
It's more cautious to buy it after the changes are released so you have a better idea if you like the product or not when you purchase it.īut that's only my advice to "casual" buyers. It's like buying an "early access" game that you like right now but that it is already known to be substantially different on release day. I wouldn't really recommend to buy the game to anyone before Apocalypse is released and the new game starts to be played on streams.
The next release is like a different game entirely and one could not appreciate the next update after getting used to warp, wormholes and free movement in general in the 1.x releases. What you say is a actually sensible "purchase strategy" for all Paradox games but in Stellaris case I wouldn't recommend new players to start from vanilla. The apocalypse release is quite a breaking change since it removes all free travel FTLs. If you're more into multiplayer - no problem either, because all DLCs from the host game are activated in Stellaris for all other players.ĭangerous. Starting with all DLCs activated is not necessary in my opinion.
They seem to be releasing DLC's every couple of months.Why not buy the main game first.? If you like it you can extend it from time to time - maybe during sales. Quoting: nepo Quoting: FedaThis game sounds like fun but $150.00 for the complete game is a bit much.
It also gives a few details on the Titan ships and a new Ion Cannon defence platform. It goes into more detail about the types of Colossus you can build, including how they currently need protecting since they're only meant for doing things to planets. They also published a new developer diary to talk more about the new expansion. I don't suggest pre-ordering, but Paradox haven't let us down on Stellaris yet. It has a page on Steam ready and you can also pre-order from the Paradox Store here.
Meanwhile, fortify key systems with massive orbital installations and secure your homeworld as an impenetrable bastion among the stars.
