Early Access Review is a Very interesting and original game. Loved The concept of the dark side of the planet instead of fog of war, a variety mechanic 3 races and a general visual style. Developers still have a lot of work on content, setting up AI and balance sheets, but openness to new offers and opinions of players, clear the concept of project development and punctuality of the team inspire confidence in the success of the release.
If you miss the classic RTS and do not be afraid of the features of early access-safely take the game. Those who love the finished and polished product, I would advise to wait until July, but the developers honestly warned that the release price of the game will increase.

Review of the Linux/SteamOS version of the game RTS with three races (all races as usual with their specific capabilities).
The Game has a gloomy stylistics of the world on which there is a struggle for resources.
There is a campaign that tells the story (the story to the word impetuous, cat scenes are terrible), there is a battle with bots and multiplayer. Multiplayer is dead completely.
The game Has big problems with performance, configuring a bunch of units and when trying to allocate this crowd to the FPS so that mom is not grieving, simply put the raw product, especially the game scored developers.
As A result: Do not buy, another stillborn project, which could have a chance of success Tested everything on Ubuntu Mate 18.04.01 and laptop: CPU: Intel (R) Core (TM) i3-2310M CPU @ 2.10 GHz RAM: SO-DIMM DDR3 8Gb 1333MHz SSD: SAMSUNG EVO 850 120Gb Video: Intel HD 3000 + Nvidia 540M Review is included in the list of Games, Linux, Steam, reviews.

What I want to say about this game.
+ Well This is what the idea itself is quite original (I mean the planet, and its dark side) +-Rassa in the game can be said Andtwo games. This is Zerg (Develop buildings and warriors from workers) Japan from Red Alert 3 build the foundation for the building after which it is put on the ground or is developing into the building afterwards (But here if it is honestly difficult to think of something new)-It's uncomfortable gameplay, because 1 if you want To allocate all armies in parts that Balalaika, will not come out, to allocate all and at once.
2 poorly running team to attack everyone while advancing.
-Very quickly refund resources. You will not experience resource shortages until the end of the game (If of course you have more than 3 Extractors) + a Decent graphic design for Indie games.
But It's still a crude game. I think the Rzarbam will be enough time to polish it up to the game on a discount for 293 rubles, and I do not regret But if it becomes even better than now, you can safely assert that it will be the younger brother of Starkraft (1-2)
