Rough gem, and one of my favourite games of all time. I wish they made another game in the series.

Earth 2160 is a competent RTS that accidentally revealed our collective death wish—a simulation where we practice managing humanity's extinction rather than preventing it. Its greatest achievement isn't gameplay but prophecy: machines that kill their creators, humans fighting over scraps, and the cosmic joke that even in our fictional apocalypse, we couldn't imagine cooperation over conflict.

A very strange, unique game which is worth a playthrough. It has a lot of rough edges and some balance trouble but overall it was a memorable (partly because of it's often strange world) and enjoyable experience that people who're fine with more obscure, non-standard games will probably enjoy, especially for the low pricetag.

I first heard about Earth 2160 on YouTube and thought it would be interesting to try it out some day. After finishing the campaign I doubt I'll keep playing the game. For the first time I played it only now, which may be too late for such a game. Nonetheless, I liked the plot and completed the campaign with pleasure, learned how to play each fraction, but in the end this RTS couldn't interest me that much. I can recommend buying it on sale and try to dive into it, that would worth it.

maybe the worst writing in any media I've ever seen. 10/10 would recommend.
