I'm really looking forward to this game. it looks to be a ton of fun. Basically for those of you not familiar with it, The game has you taking a creature from a single cell organism to a space faring species. There are 5 stages to the game as follows
Cell - Your a single celled organism and you float around eating other things in order to get DNA points to upgrade and become a bigger and tougher microscopic organism
Creature - Your a lone creature in the world, you fight to survive by finding food, fending off predators and finding a mate. You need to get DNA points to make you a better creature
Tribal - Your a tribe of creatures, instead of controlling a single creature like in the previous 2 stages you now try to guide a tribe of your creatures to flourish.
Civilization - Your now running a civilization of your creatures. You try to advance their technology while using diplomacy or war to mingle with over civs on your planet. This plays a lot like a mix between a RTS and Civilization
Space - Your species has reached the top and now you can go into space and explore other worlds created by other players around the world, make friends or destroy them.
Obviously my description is pretty vague but really it is a pretty awesome looking game. The released a Creature Creator for the creature strage for everybody to mess around with and its a blast. Here are a few creatures I made.
