Another fair review given this time by 1up. Everyone wants this game to be good but the reality is that in its current form it simply is not. I'd give it a D right now, the only reason it doesn't get an F is because it has so much potential.
completely agree with this review, bump
Good review with screen shots and everything... I have also noticed the lack of a tooltip on several items and it can be extremely frustrating.
The game is definitely NOT ready to be played right now. I pre-ordered the game based on the great concepts that were promised, unfortunately they are not delivered as of the latest 1.05 patch. I highly recommend waiting at least a month and checking back here before purchasing this game, it seriously feels like a clunky beta test right now.
I completely agree with your review, stardock does need forgiveness for releasing a unmistakably unfinished game. Trying to find documentation on basic game mechanics either in the users manual or in game help function is extremely frustrating as it is very incomplete.
Lets face it, its probably not a driver problem, hundreds of users are reporting similar performance problems with a diverse group of system configurations.
Agreed, AI is far to easy
I have only tried the campaign so far and was so disappointed with the ease and performance issues I came to these forums. Thankfully, it sounds like the custom games work a lot better. The campaign feels like a tutorial that doesn't tell you anything and you get to muddle through it yourself to figure out the issue.. Also the interface is extremely clunky, often my cursor gets stuck in the wrong mode and it makes it very hard to click through prompts.
I just want to add my name to the thread, the performance is terrible and everything I do feels choppy and sluggish, this game feels like it is just starting the beta test, right now if I could get a full refund I would do it in a heartbeat. I sincerely hope future patches fix this game because the ideas behind it are great, execution is terrible.
