Anyhow if anyone has heard of it or has details post em here. I'm still trying to get a better feel for it to decide if I want to buy it. I think it's kinda of a Civilization // RTS or maybe TBS game. If I find anything else I'll update.

Also I did manage to confirm it is a turn based strategy.

Here's the only decent preview article (http://scientificgamer.wordpress.com/2012/05/04/why-you-should-buy-endless-space/) I've found so far. It appears a lot of bigger people just caught wind of it recently.

Looks pretty promising. I really enjoyed Masters of Orion 2, haven't really played a decent space sim since then.

Yea I tried GalCiv 2 and frankly I maybe put 3 hours into it before I shrugged and buried it in my box o PC games. I unfortunately never played MOO2.

Here's an article from Paper Rock Shotgun. (http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/05/04/orions-belter-endless-space/)

Ok so its definitely the best 4X game I've played. Although it took me about 100 turns to really get a good feel for the game and get all the UI under control. The tutorial is good but it basically throws the full game at you every time it comes up. Gonna start a new game and see if I can get a better start.
