Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space

Strategic Space Exploration games are all around, but Weird Worlds: Return To Infinite Space is certainly among the better ones.

Thanks to a random system generator, you can be sure things don't get too samey as you travel through the void, trading, exploring, fighting and completing missions to boost your reputation and bank balance. There are countless planets and technologies to discover, and while the slow strategic gameplay may not appeal to everyone, turn-based fans will certainly find some enjoyment here.

Best of all though is the excellent combat, which sees you and your enemies slugging it out with an impressive array of weaponry. Just watching these intergalactic skirmishes is a real pleasure, as lasers bite into hulls with genuine ferocity and ships try to outmanoeuvre each other.

While we may have seen it all before, the thrilling combat does just enough to put Weird Worlds above the rest.
