There's a sequel? Didn't know that.

I played a lot of of star ruler 1, it was great.

How does the EA compare to the first game? Is it worth getting already?

Any truth to this steam review? I can't stand shallow 4x games so just wanna make sure.

This is a casual strategy game with none of the freedom of the first. Fans of endless space will feel right at home.

Well I have not tried it but as it's early access I don't think it will have all the features and content implemented yet so the review might be a bit skewed though again I have not played this myself.

EDIT:

Quote:

...
How long will this game be in Early Access?
“We intend to release no later than December. Any delays would be to add additional content we didn't anticipate being able to develop within our release schedule.”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“The remainder of our development will focus on the addition of content to fill out the existing game mechanics, add new art and sound assets, and apply a healthy coat of polish.”
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“The game is fully playable but is in various states of completeness:

Art:
Ships, stations, and various components of the interface are using temporary art or do not have their full set of art implemented.
Audio:
Only about one third of the soundtrack has been finished and many sound effects are placeholders.
Mechanics:
Core gameplay mechanics are present and functional but are not content complete.
Stability and Performance:
The game is stable and performs well on our development machines but is likely to encounter issues specific to particular hardware configurations. The only way to improve this is with the help of as many people with different machines as possible.
Fun:
We believe the game is already fun but there's plenty of room for more! We'll continue to add content, improve usability, and add new features according to our existing plan and community feedback.
AI:
The AI is competent enough to win a game but is easily outsmarted by an experienced player. Continuous progress is made in the AI's skill but there's plenty left for it to learn

I have played it. There is even an IRC chat thingy in the game client. I was talking to one of the devs, and just complimented him on how well playable the EA is. He thanked me, and said they wanted to make sure even tho its EA its atleast playable and fun, and they even tried to polish it where they could afford it.
