Darwinia

No, it hasn't come out in NA, and I don't think there are any plans to release a boxed copy here. I imported it.

Just buy it on their website and download it...

I might try the new demo .. but the first demo they released was crap. Left a bad first impression.

This was released retail in the US in June 06 by Cinemaware Marquee. Got it at the circuit city b1g1f sale last week, the reg price is 20 bucks. It is the same as the steam version, but the retail version comes with a Poster and a darwinian keychain, and of course a physical CD.

The entire Tron world has always been appealing to me and this makes it that much cooler. The usage of the Tron Reco as the engineer is the icing on the cake.

Its a mix of a strategy game(warcraft/starcraft)/shooter (think 360 degree centipede)/sim/save the people (lemmings/3 dirty dwarves) and it really works.

Whether its fighting off hordes of respawning ant hills, destroying giant flying virus incubators, creating and researching better weaponry, or just guiding the little green darwinians to safety, Even after playing about 10 hours Im still finding new things to do and the gameplay is fresh at every turn.

The graphics are not mindblowing, the music is mellow but fitting, the angles of the terrain are sometimes a pain in the ass. But damn if this isnt some of the most unique gameplay ever. After getting the mechanics down, I am absolutely hooked.

If you are a fan of 80s arcade games, Tron, blizzard games, Rez, Civ games, or are looking for something suprisingly innovative, you owe it to yourself to check this out

This game was made for me...

except the Tron part.

But yea, I played the demo, this is a good game.

except the Tron part.

I find this odd since Rez has such a similar style.

I ordered Darwinia and Uplink from Introversion last year. They were both worth it. Uplink is one of the cruelest games ever in difficulty though.
