    An elegant and beautifully depicted strategy game that feels logical but fresh. Even if it is a little late to bloom. [Christmas 2009, p.110]

    Eufloria is significantly more expensive than many games of this type, but it will eat into your life more efficiently than most of them. [Christmas 2009, p.114]

    Even if the game is charming and fascinating, talking about the gameplay Eufloria isn't able to appeal the player and, worst, to challenge him.

    Pleasant enough, but it feels like little more than a glorified iPhone game. [Christmas 2009, p.95]

    It's a beautiful, thoughtful curiosity. But somewhere in getting at the essence of strategy gaming, Eufloria has become a sketch, a distraction, a showcase, and a toy: it's an experience that you'll enjoy, rather than a coherent and satisfying game.

    Eufloria is tough, but not impossible, to love. You may have to fight through (or altogether ignore) the campaign mode to get to the good stuff, and even then you may spend more time waiting and micromanaging than you'd like, but I can't possibly deny the strength of Eufloria's most basic design choices.

    Eufloria is a pleasant looking game with a very nice soundtrack. If that's all you're looking for then you'll be very happy with your purchase. But as a strategy game it's very lacking. The game plays like this: You grow a tree. The tree releases seeds that you then send to neighboring asteroids to defeat any enemy seeds and trees that may be there. After you defeat the enemies, you can sacrifice a few of your seeds to plant a new tree or two, which then grows you more seeds to use to conquer the next asteroid. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. There are some basic strategy elements such as selecting the proper offensive unit type (high strength, speed, or energy) for the enemy that you're fighting as well as the ability to plant defensive trees but that's about it. And to make matters worse, you'll often find yourself in need of high strength seeds with only one tree growing them, forcing you to wait around for about an hour until you have sufficient seeds to use. Another glaring omission in this game is the inability to remove trees you've already planted in order to grow a new type of tree. I can only guess that in a game with such a "green friendly" premise, pulling out the old chainsaw would have been considered poor taste. If this game was priced at $5 or less, those flaws could be overlooked. At it's core, Eufloria is beautifully rendered and has excellent ambiance. It's a very relaxing game which is always a nice change of pace. But at its current $20 price tag I find it to be severely lacking in both form and depth and can't recommend that anyone waste their money on it. Pretty colors and music does not make a game enjoyable. Too bad that the developers didn't understand that, or else this game might have been great.… Full Review »

    A wonderful passive game that rewards patience, so it's enjoyable while watching something else or conversing with a friend. Smooth graphics and a nice ambient soundtrack to keep it ultra casual. Feels a lot like FLOW for the PSP, but with more strategy. Super easy to relax on this one.… Full Review »

    well first i thought its boring, but after a while playing and after i got used to the controls, i started liking it. the first 9 levels are kinda just -> get enough units-> rush enemy. after that the enemies and levels get a bit more tricky. once you complete the "campain" there are a lot of additional maps and missions to play, you can also create your own. the music is good and calm the design as well. all together a very relaxing game. 14,99€ might be a bit much, but i think its worth it. if youre not sure, try getting it in an indie bundle for less money.… Full Review »
