Doesn't sound so bad, but I've had to learn Magic The Gathering this week for a review, I'm not ready for another strategic game just yet lol

Truly great game though, I was worried that the price may be too high, but I hope that doesn't deter people. Best Indie game since Minecraft!

I haven't really played minecraft properly yet, I think I'm too busy for it, so hopefully I will find time to see what joys that has hiding away.

I wouldn't go that far. It's a very fun game with a great UI (a rarity in strategy games these days) but it's a bit... shallow in my opinion.

Or at least it did in the last build I played. There've been like a half dozen updates since then.

The biggest mark in ES' favor is the fact that the developers are really and truly listening to their customers.

And the biggest mark against it is its title's similarity to that other big, epic, awesome science-fiction game that came out a year or two ago....

Dont understand how this can be a review may be a preview since the game is not due for release until the 4th July and the game is still being worked on

The developers gave us the game for REVIEW, the game is still in Beta however 99% of the features are there as it says at the top. Besides do you not think the game would be 99% done with only 5 days until release?

The version on Steam thus far is not the final version that will be released today.

And worse, you wrote a 800 word review with hardly anything about the game.

I agree that you can write a fairly decent review on the current code (it's already polished better than many a game deemed fit at its release date) but when you do, at least WRITE SOMETHING.

[Kiriel]

Indeed, he reviewed the Beta and slapped a score on it, sigh.
