It's Rez the RTS, it's Black & White in Tron land, it's Rollercoaster Tycoon with polygons. I don't even know how to describe it. Go, download, gaze at the weird coolness.

I played this demo a week or 2 ago, and the game is actually really fun, and really different. I recommend it to any RTS fan.Quote:

I'm not much of an RTS fan so I'm probably not the best judge on the gameplay but it seems to play great. I'm a sucker for TRON-ish visuals so this appeals to me more than most games in the genre.
Played the demo a couple weeks ago and decided to stop about 10 minutes in, just because I didn't want to spoil anything else for when I inevitably pick up the full version, as it became a foregone conclusion very quickly. Shit like Darwinia makes me happy.
It's out for OSX too. Can't remember who did the port. Not bad at all. Cool factor 10.
I just checked out the demo of Introversion's other game on that site, Uplink. It's a computer hacker simulation. I didn't expect to like it but it's neat stuff.
Yeah, Uplink was a cool game, that's part of how I found this - I was browsing eb online and saw the cover, which was unusual. Then the description mentioned that the developer had made Uplink and my interest was peaked. Darwinia is just... cool.
I'm playing the full version right now and it's awesome. At the beginning it plays like a wacked-out RTS, but there's a lot more action to it once you get a few levels in. It's such a crazy mish-mash of different play styles (Cannon Fodder + Lemmings + Ground Control + Asteroids).
Really cool game. Don't sleep.
Is Darwinia out(or even coming at all) in North America? I can't find it listed on store websites.
