REALLY interesting new indie game. I'll let TotalBiscuit, the popular Starcraft 2 commentator, sell it:

Been playing this for a few days, and I'm really enjoying it. The learning curve isn't very steep, and its gameplay mechanics mean games can take 30 seconds actual play time, but days for each player to plan out his turn.

That looks very entertaining. Like a cross between an ISO RTS and chess. I'm afraid to even try it, as it may introduce another time sink in my life. :roll:

Looks cool. Allusions to Deus Ex (one of my favorite games), Cyberpunk, and its a strategy game to boot. The only thing that he couldve possibly threw in to sweeten the pot further was references to Shadowrun. This game seems right up my alley.

Being a turn-based, play-by-email sort of thing, it doesn't take a huge amount of time, like Starcraft or similar games. Unless you play ten games simultaneously, but I don't think even the top players do that. :P
