I tried the demo from earlier this year and quite enjoyed it, so I'm looking forward to playing this as soon as my computer arrives from moving overseas. The demo only went 30 turns so you couldn't really get into the terraforming much (you could build terraforming buildings, but they wouldn't do much in that length of time), and I'm interested to see how that layers on top of what's there already.

I was bit unlucky that I tried the earlier demo when it was broken. Thankfully the prologue worked and actually even the old demo works now.
It's practically nice Terraforming Mars inspired game. It even plays in a way that would work nicely as a board game.

I'm kind of surprised they didn't go for the pun. Y'know, call it "TerraforMars"

They could have called it Terraformers: Age of Extinction just to confuse people...
