But I do enjoy these kinds of galactic conquest games, so I'm looking forward to it. I have limited experience with Ascendancy from playing the demo way back in the 90s, so I'm going in to this game fairly blind. Sometimes I find ATBA (Acronyms To Be Annoying), but in this case it is helpful to know this stuff ahead of time. Like many of these kinds of games, Ascendancy is a turn-based strategy game (TBS), in comparison to something like Command and Conquer, which is a real-time strategy game (RTS). Before starting, let's get some acronyms out of the way first: 4X stands for eXpand, eXterminate, eXplore, and eXploit, these being the primary driving motivations behind the gameplay in these kinds of games. After playing mostly action games for my initial posts on RPDG, I'm going to slow down and play through Ascendancy, a 4X space strategy game. Today's game is a change of pace from my previous outings of the past few weeks. There used to be an iOS version, but this was taken down a few years ago. Unfortunately Ascendancy is not sold anywhere digitally, so your best bet is Amazon or Ebay looking for use copies.
