I have to say I was rather bummed by the demo. Deathy liked it, though. It just seemed to me that Starfury could have been so much more than it was.

as long as they don't screw up Space Empires 5 the same way, everything will be fine.

that is all.

Had a lot of problems, but still it had the fun factor going for it at times.

Apparently, space empires 5 will have the same type of real time combat. Not that it really matters to me that much, since tactical combat in the previous games was just a minigame.

I liked the demo, too. The combat had a nice feel to it. Not too hard, not too easy.
The missions were kind of stale and boring, though.
