I loved this game, and played the heck out of it on my old win98 box. Two things I really appreciated:
- You could play it completely sandbox, without any military stuff. I'm much more about building things than fighting, and I've always wished there were more games with this approach
- You get very fast feedback on changes you make. This is quite different from the SimCity series, where I often found myself wondering if something I did had any impact at all.
Happy to see this show up here, and hope we'll see more Impressions games in the future.
