Dang, there's an idea in here that would absolutely be my favorite game of all time. Unfortunately, the reviews make it sound unforgivingly dense.

Dense games tend to provide strong rewards for your time. I think its always worth it to tackle a a game like this. EVE Online was one of those games for me back in the day. Dwarf Fortress and Caves of Qud are more recent challenges for me. I'm definitely getting this game soon.

Let me know what you think! I love qud and DF, but bounced off Eve pretty hard, so I think our tastes are at least somewhat similar.

Woah- CyberStorm? Is... Is that you?

reads some reviews

Am I the only one that's played/remembers the CyberStorm games? The even more bleak strategy sim sibling to EarthSiege's action Sim?

The atmosphere/menu of those games alone were terrifying to me as a child... but I just couldn't stay away from them. Lmao

Nothing can quite scar a small child like the clones dying could in CyberStorm. I'm 35 now and just remembering them still puts me on edge.
