Last Federation is a science fiction space strategy game in the same vein as past games such as Master of Orion and Pax Imperia. Like those popular space games of the past, depth is the order of the day here with a focus on diplomacy, politics, and earning money. However, humor also plays a major role as some of the dialogue and events are quite funny. Basically, the premise of the Last Federation is that you are trying to unify the solar system for the last time while dealing with eight very different and crazy races.

Each race has its own vibrant personality and political system. Stats are tracked that show your position with each race as the game goes on. For example, you can help a race build an armada for wealth and political influence. You can even speed up time to observe yourself  raking in the dough and political power. If something happens like another race taking over the planet you are on, the job will stop. You can also take on small assignments during the game that usually involve combat.

Combat is one of the things that will either raise or lower the opinion of players about the game. While turn based combat is understandable for such a deep tactical game, the colorful and alive universe screams for more intense action for the fighting elements. Also, there is a possibility for five factions to fight all at the same time. With all that potential for exciting space combat, its disappointing that you can’t do more in that area. Overall, however, The Last Federation is game that should be tried by anybody who enjoys politics or deep space tactical games.

  1. As i saw in launch trailer game isnt bad got good graphics and it is smth like spore or Star wars

    theredlight3 did not rate this post.
  2. Very fun little game. It requires a bit of learning and imagination to be fully enjoyed. Most of the information appears as text so there’s alot of reading involved. I played this through once to get a ‘nice guys’ federation victory and that kind satisfied me.

  3. Decent space game. It’s a little bit too much for me so I wouldn’t really play it but I’m sure it would be quite appealing to some. The graphics are ehh in my opinion but the game play is quite good and entertaining. It takes a bit of brains to play as well. I rate it 4/5.

  4. The Last Federation is an interesting turn-based strategy/simulation game. Music in the game is phenomenal and gameplay looks crazy when there’s a swarm of ships. Game also has an ironman mode for the more “hardcore” gamers which is pretty neat. Overall, I’d give this game a 4.35/5.
