Buyer Reviews :
Overall this is a nice game. I downloaded the demo and thought it was curious. I don't think I found this game as addictive as Civilization, but even to compare it is high praise. The multiplay is good although it can be a bit of a wait for the other player to finish. Some aspects of the game are a bit contrived and make it a little difficult to maintain a strategy. All in all the game is a bit whimsical, I wouldn't describe it as a hard core strategy game. Like a lot of games this suffers from the problem that the game can be decided early and then it just a matter of many hours of playing to finally resolve it. The greatest strength of the game is its novelty. Not that I've seen game there is to see but I hadn't seen anything quite like it. And on Linux too boot!
As to the Linux port. This is the only full version of a Loki game that I've tried and I was very impressed. I've tried the SM Alpha Centauri demo and am anxiously awaiting the final version. Oh, and if you haven't play Jagged Alliance 2, I heard a rumor that Loki was going to port that too. Another good and different game.
