Shattered Suns offers significant and deep resource and combat management, and will tax even the most skilled players to their limits at first, until they have mastered the experience, leaving them feeling fulfilled by the complexity of the experience. Everyone else, however, will be put off by the unexciting visuals, unintuitive gameplay, slow pacing, constant micromanagement requirements, and general lack of personality and/or overwhelming linearity of the experience.
Shattered Suns is very much a niche title, and if you fall into that niche, you will certainly love the experience, but if not, you would be best served steering clear and finding something a bit less demanding or, in many cases, needlessly complex.
