If they manage to create a somewhat more casual version of Earth 2160 with faster gameplay, I'm all up for it.
I'm not sure what to think of it. The idea sounds good but the video does not look very appealing. It all seems far too cluttered and busy. There's bright colours EVERYWHERE, a UI that does not look easily readable and it overall looks like there's just too much going on at once to really tell what things are. Ontop of that the art style they've gone for makes things all just blend together.
Universe at War was great. I hope this is up to snuff
It's a little depressing to see new games be announced, just to hear them being announced for release into Early Access.
I know coming to early access and all, but the visuals aren't helping sell it. It's more of those generic and bland slightly cartoony visuals that everyone and their mother is doing. This would really benefit from trying a more unique and less simplified visual style, it'd stop things from just blending together. Now I like the concept of it, I enjoyed Earth 20150 despite all its jank. Unit customization was great.
