So many missing features: mini-map, map rotation. military combat, many other features missing that made the original so great. The graphics are acceptable but not that good, the UI is pretty bad and clunky. I was really excited for this this game since I so love the original. Very disappointed.
Early access review, still getting the hang of the game. Very good game pretty easy to get started but lots of nuance. Very Zen in the sense you need to roll with what the game's RNG gives you and stay flexible. If you try to bludgeon your way through or uses a cookie-cutter strategies for all situations, you will struggle. One size does not fit all :-) Adapt to the current situation, stay flexible (not always easy to do) and be prepared to change plans. Very stable, no crashes or bugs (yet). Needs some UI improvements but very good for early access.
Tribes of the East introduces a new faction. The upgraded tier 7 creature (Bloodeyed Cyclops) is supposed to be a shooter but is not. The tool tip and description clearly state "shooter" but in combat it's not a shooter. Very disapointing. Overall the campaign is fine, but the new faction is really pretty bad. -3 for the Cyclops bug.
No chemistry required but it helps. As a biologist I took organic chem in college, it helped a little. It started off pretty simple, but quickly escalates. Nice relaxing game with good music.
Flawless - downloaded in a few minutes, installed in seconds (!) runs with out any issues. Still can't be beat.
