Reach for the Stars is a turn-based strategy game of epic galactic exploration, colonization, and conquest. The original RFTS released in the mid-1980s was wildly popular in its day, and maintains a loyal following. Reach for the Stars is considered to be one of the original 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) games.

If your looking for a good 4x space conquest game then this game is NOT it. I strongly recommend that you go buy Space Empires IV or V (released just last month) and enjoy them.
RFTS came out in 2000 and I was one of the first people to buy this horrid game. It look great on paper but after about 20 minutes of playing it I found that I simply just wanted to uninstall it and go back to playing Moo2 or Stars. But I stayed with the game, played it through to the end of what can only ... Read More

Reach for the Stars (RTFS) is an excellent strategy game. Unfortunately it has suffered from the sale of its publisher - Mattel Interactive (MI) - just after its release. It has been very difficult to get hold of outside of North America and the new owners of MI have obviously had more important things to do then quickly address various bugs. Nevertheless SSG et al produced a patch fairly quickly to address the more serious crashing problems and I can report that the 1.1 version of the game is stable ... Read More

This game had A LOT of potential which seems to have been almost completely wasted.
I'll start with what this game does right. The overal concept, built in the fashion of a 4X game, was done very well. Essentially the point is to eXplore the galaxy, eXpand your empire, eXterminate and eXploit your enemies. The galaxy size is customizable and can become fairly large. Combine this feature with up to 8 other empires in play and the game can become an epic space opera. The races have their ... Read More

Ok so the game has not been released, however you can download a 60 turn demo from mindscapes website. It looks like this could be a nice game.
The game takes much of the tedium of controlling a large empire away by pooling all resources, and allowing entire colony build profiles to be created with a single click. there appears to be a large tech list to research, and the presentation and interface a very polished.
the downsides:
the space battle look fairly simplistic, ... Read More

I was really looking forward to this game. I remember the first Reach for the Stars and how much I love the game, and I find it truly depressing that it's image has been tarnished with this title. The game crashes repeatedly, has image glitches, and scratchy sound. The technology tree is almost pointless since the technologies of the latest "era" completely supplant the previously researched technologies. There is so little variety or options for error in this area that you can rely entirely on the ... Read More
