I would recommend this game to fans of the genre. While I have personally made comparisons to Star Control II, SPAZ has certainly earned its own place among this type of games.

Distant Worlds is a nice attempt to create a huge living universe full of things going on that allow the user to choose the degree of control he wants.

Civilization 5 is the latest installment of the Civilization series and while the matrix of the series remains intact this sequel promises to innovate in one important aspect of the game, the combat system.

Star Ruler provides all the ingredients for a fair 4x space strategy game but fails in many ways in providing solid, interesting and fun features. But if you're a hardcore fan of the genre probably you'll want to give it a try.

Gratuitous Space Battles is a strategy and simulation game that does not contain all the traditional elements of a 4x space strategy game but rather concentrates in ship design and space battles.

Armada 2526 follows on the footsteps of games like Master of Orion 2, the Space Empires series, Galactic Civilizations series, StarTrek: BotF and many other sci-fi TBS titles. In this sense Armada 2526 provides the traditional 4x TBS space strategy gaming experience.

Sins Trinity is a very nicely done game. It excels on providing a rich gaming experience that will entertain you for many hours. Ironclad and Stardock deserve an applause for having created a game that successfully mixes the RTS mechanic with the 4x genre in fantastic way.

From time to time a game appears that revolutionalizes and makes itself the standard for a gaming genre. Released in 1996 by Microprose, Master of Orion 2 Battle at Antares is undoubtedly considered the reference for 4x space strategy games.
