Mar 20, 201110Very difficult, painstaking, atmospheric and charming game. Excellent as a visual composes(tron) and musical. Want to continue the development of content and theme of this series.

Dec 24, 201010An awesome game, not only is the setting beautiful and the story wonderful, but it also proves that you don't need high quality graphics to make a good game.

JimboA.Apr 3, 200810Excellent throwback to simple graphics with challenging and mesmerizing game play. Highly recommended for hours of dreamy escape into cyberspace.

ColbyA.Dec 21, 20079Introversion is becoming one of my favorite studios. This game was wonderful - great gameplay, incredibly creative. The things other people are complaining about, such as the pathfinding and the menus, I believe were intentionally unpolished to some extent, to go along with the setting of the game. I'd explain more, but I don't want to spoil it. I definitely recommend this.

JoshW.Apr 30, 200710Both the storyline and music make this one of the best games I've ever played. This game is proof that you don't need super graphics to make a super game.

HuubL.Apr 10, 20079Great game, great atmosphere. I'd like to see more content, that would make this game an absolute ten in my book.

SteveH.Feb 17, 20079Short but sweet. Sometimes frustrating, sometimes tedious but what games escape that?

JmattD.Feb 14, 200710Simply astounding. Definitely not lacking in creativity. Pleasing to the eyes, as you're not over-stimulated by the environment. This game requires you to think, and it's a TON of fun!

SeanB.Oct 15, 20069An awful lot of fun. The sound effects even remind me of classics from long ago and far away (we're talking over 20 years now) and it's an entertaining little virtual world it renders that works on any platform. You'll enjoy it.

RyanV.Oct 3, 20069Simple and wonderfully enjoyable. The slick retro graphics and nice soundtrack really took it above and beyond. I just wish that the game were longer or that they make an expansion/sequal.

TrickF.Aug 14, 200610Awesome game for the retro-oriented crowd. Also a great community has sprung up around the game, and some of the mods are very well done, even better than the original storyline itself.

GeoffH.Jun 2, 20069It's always great to see developers doing something new. Darwinia plays like nothing I've ever tried before, and while the mechanics got somewhat repetitive by the end, I found myself glued to it from start to finish. Plus, it was dirt cheap on Steam. Mainstream developers, take note.

CodyC.May 30, 200610This game was not only fun to play, but the overall experience made me feel involved in the world of Darwinia! A hands-down must-own.

JovanL.May 15, 200610creative fun and kept me entertained far longer then games i bought for 50 dollars all though if the people who created this game could make a psp verse that would be sick i think its would translate well.

ArnaudB.May 11, 200610I can't believe how much poetry there is in this unique game!

SwoopdaNoobMay 10, 20069Great, very addictive. Too damn short though. As I old timer I love the C64 style graphics and music. Gimme more!

DavidM.May 6, 200610Very different, and fun. The graphics style makes it better.

AndyApr 24, 200610One of the best, addictive and oringal games I have played. I had to keep playing to find out how the game would end. This made me actually care about the charactors insead of just rushing in I wanted to keep them alive.

DanH.Apr 15, 20069I love this game, but it may not be for all people. I highly suggest atleast watching the trailer and even downloading the demo. Great game, be nice if there was some multiplayer, but its all good. Worth the $20!

DarrenM.Mar 31, 200610This is the first game in over a year where I felt the coders had does something completly diffrent. Dispite what others say, I think the graphics were perfect. Not because they were good or bad, but because they captured the feel of the game perfectly.

EvanG.Mar 25, 200610Really cool game you should try the demo. What have you got to lose?

XariusOct 23, 200510One of the most refreshing and original games to come out in a long time. A perfect blend of action and real time strategy, not to mention it runs on linux out of the box. A brilliant job by the people who brought us Uplink.

AnonymousMCOct 19, 20059First game I have played where I actually cared what happened to the little guys. What I really loved was the unique storylilne and concept. The only issue I had was that some of the user interface was clunky and when the action got critical the game would freeze whilst trying to execute a command. All round though I can't wait for the next installment.

The graphics in Darwinia while a throwback to times past, are superb.

95In plain English, don’t ask, "What’s it like?"- Just buy it, play it, and spread the word to anyone you know who’s a gamer about it by any legal means necessary.

75It has a completely unique style, both in the audio, sound and gameplay departments that cannot be easily compared to anything else.
