Um, no - not really. More a building/explore type of game. The guy that wrote it has made about $33 million USD so far. An acquired taste though. smile

There's free demo to try out, and if it hooks you, it hooks you hard..

No...far from it.

I love the game.Never thought I would just based on screenshots.

I started watching Paulsoaresjr's Survive and Thrive videos on Youtube and then some of his other Minecraft videos and bought the game.Now I am hooked on it.

It is simply a very fun basic game that just proves that graphics do not make a game good...gameplay is the number one factor.

He has been talking about this space game for years and it is not that far off from what I have always wanted. I can not wait for his alpha release.

Game name has been chosen!

Quote:
After several weeks of trying to come up with a good name for the game, we finally decided not to learn from previous experiences and pick a name that's already kind of in use by a huge existing franchise.

After playing around with names like "Elight", "Wind Commander", and "Steve Online", we finally settled on the very catchy name "Mars Effect".
