Eufloria is an ambient game of space exploration and conquest that employs surprising themes of plant growth and bio mechanical evolution. The game allows the player to explore a beautifully realized universe rendered in a style that is both unique and compelling. Eufloria’s aesthetics are reminiscent of children’s books like “the little prince” and the gameplay is supported by an original ambient soundtrack by Brian Grainger. Gameplay revolves around conquering asteroids in space and using their resources to literally grow and nurture new semi-organic plants and creatures to do the player’s bidding. The player is pitched against several teams of AI opponents that all vie for the same resources and can offer fierce opposition.
Being one who prefers FTS & retro games over other game types (RTS, MMO, RPG), I really enjoy playing Eufloria ...
* elegant yet detailed, simple graphics (zoom in & out all the way)
* simple game play mechanics like a casual game
* a wonderful soundtrack
* lacks graphic RTS violence so my kids can watch (or play)
* relaxing to watch & play (usually ;-) the organic color schemes help too.
I can't really say enough good things about this game. Do you yourself a favor. Try out the demo. Either you'll love it (like most folks) or go 'meh'. The only thing I wish is that it came in a Linux (and Mac) flavors ... and maybe a bypass helper. This game is perfect.
