Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / December 2005How is Darwinia?
I just played through the demo (thank God there's a demo, unlike that Rag Doll Kung Fu piece of crap) and I thought it was pretty neat. I'm wondering if there's any more depth to it beyond squads, Darwinians, officers, and engineers. It has the potential to be very cool, I just don't know if it's fleshed out yet. Anyway, the game goes on sale tomorrow and I'd really like to hear any opinions on it. > I just played through the demo (thank God there's a demo, unlike that > Rag Doll Kung Fu piece of crap) and I thought it was pretty neat.

Its been out for ages :/ > Anyway, the game goes on sale tomorrow and I'd really like to hear any > opinions on it. I liked it, its fun, but I never finished it. Quite strategic in terms of how you beat each level etc. Plus there isn't another game like it, anywhere. Of course being so original it may put some people off.

A mate at work raves about it, apparently it has a whole lot of new additions and features as the game fleshes itself out later.

The controls suck, but other than that, it is different and fun. >The controls suck, but other than that, it is different and fun. They have improved a massive amount since the original demo, in fact the Steam demo seems better than I remembered the last demo to be in that respect. I ordered it today after playing the Steam demo. SignatureAndrew, contact via interpleb.blogspot.com Help make Usenet a better place: English is read downwards, please don't top post.

Shame about the memory leak. Had a couple of crashes so opened task manager and put that on my 2nd monitor. Played the game while watching the page file usage climb, and climb, and climb.... hope there's a patch soon - it's ruining a bloody good game >This game is damned addictive and pretty challenging.

Strange. Have you got to 'pattern buffer' yet? >> I haven't had any problems, I have 2GB of RAM so maybe that helps, but >> it has all been smooth for me. > >1.5GB here. Strange. Have you got to 'pattern buffer' yet? No, I haven't got that far.

Fingers crossed you dont suffer it or there's a patch out by then. >>> I haven't had any problems, I have 2GB of RAM so maybe that helps, but >>> it has all been smooth for me. >> >>1.5GB here.

No crashes since and the commit charge hovers around 500MB rather than keep climbing until PC crashes. >Resolved it. A post in the Steam forums gave an interim solution.

Thanks, I will bear that in mind if I get problems later in the game :-) SignatureAndrew, contact via interpleb.blogspot.com Help make Usenet a better place: English is read downwards, please don't top post.

Thought it was a great game - yes there is depth to it (though you only get one more unit - armour - a big cannon the darwinians can fire). No spoilers from me but it does take a little thinking to get through, it can get quite addictive, it's fun BUT it's short. Came to the end much quicker than I expected. Replay value - probably, but just as something to dip into if I fancy something different. |
