If you have that specific RTS itch (Wargame, World in Conflict, etc.), this is the game for you.

For this price, it's a steal.

Overall a great PC port of one the best (if not THE best) boardgame of all time.

There are some minor bugs (only noticeable if you're a Twilight Struggle fanatic) and some inconsistencies in Late War scenario (but this does not affect core gameplay or main scenario)

Online play is very much alive.

On the game itself - oh boy. Lead either US or USSR in a proxy war-espionage-influence race throughout the entire Cold War, with the nuclear armageddon threat looming in the background.

Very fresh approach to strategy game, combined with puzzle.

Short description - you colonize planets in turn-based game (on turn is one month, some actions take more than 1 month). Connect colonized planets to establish trade routes, giving you money and making planets better. There are quests to be done, research to be made. And the best thing - any action you take (unless it gives you new information, like scanning or checking available quests) can be cancelled. This way game encourages experimenting and searching best possible connections.

Highly recommended.

So far it's looking to an upgrade from Doork Kickers 1 at every level.

Worth the EA.

1.0 UPDATE

SO MUCH MORE than DK1. Definitely worth your time and money.

So far, it's everything you love about Factorio, without everything you hate about Factorio.

And for that price, it's a steal.

Rogue-like in space. Craft your weapons and consumables, upgrade your ship and pilot in-between deaths. Plot's pretty good too.

Ton of fun to be had in here.

A puzzle game.

Yes, I consider this a puzzle game - it might look like a game about tearing and cutting stuff up. And it kinda is - unless you want to maximize profit/hour. You need a plan, you need the skill to execute the plan and you need the knowledge and resources how to do it properly.

It's a bit barebones right know (June 2020) but there is huge potential. And it's dirt cheap for the content it provides. Get it if you can.

There are two reasons you are reading this review:
-You like city builder games
-Someone told you you about a funny review on Steam
If it's the second case, you got the wrong review, sorry. If it's the first case, you propably played SimCity

If that's the case - this is SimCity but better in almost any way. Do yourself a favor and try it.

Imagine you can play any board game that you can buy.

Now stop imagining and do it in this game.

And SO much more.

While I have fond memories of this game, right now I would avoid it.

The huge battles are truly amazing - when they happen. There is not enough players. Microtransation are borderline P2W (and some actually are).

If you can gather some friends, give it a go, it's fre anyways.
