I’m an SLG fan, from PC games to MMO games, I tend to choose simulation and strategy games. I'm more familiar with EVE and OGAME but a couple of days ago I found out about a game called Galaxy Online. From the introduction and amazing screenshots I found it had many similarities to OGAME, although OGAME is a web game. It looked as if Galaxy Online was like an updated version of OGAME.
Both games feature a galaxy that you need to build, and provide different kinds of construction functions to produce resources. The basic functions are included in both games, like constructing, exploring, Ship-building, Fleets, Technology, Defense, leadership and more. But OGAME didn’t have a chat system, and so it isn't really easy to communicate with other players, and I could see that Galaxy Online has more real planets and galaxies.
There are a huge number of galaxies on the Galaxy Online map. Players can access each galaxy through the designated transport routes. The real difference between the two games is that Galaxy Online features real-time strategy, while OGAME relies upon battle reports. In Galaxy Online, you need to think about weapon-loading time, defensive parts initiation, moving distance and firing range, not the system AI.
Galaxy Online is more than I expected from a game, and I didn't expect it to challenge OGAME, but it really has. I hope to see the launch of more features and gameplay soon!
