    Well... it's basically a multiplayer Darwinia, but nowadays without any online players, so it's dead. Since you can only play singleplayer, I guess you can keep playng Darwinia instead.

    Not my type of game. Got bored pretty quickly. I respect if others enjoy this.

    Gaze into the hellish world of war as thousands and thousands of soldiers are slaughtered by countless different creatures and machines. This game has changed me on a mental level and I am still suffering flashbacks of the violet tides final push against Commander Whitaker and his squad.

    Going through my entire library in 2018 and checking out games I've never launched: Defaults to a resolution that cuts off things like settings from the visible menu. Probably fixable in an ini somewhere, but not gonna give it that much effort.

    28. Favourite game developer Introversion Software! They're the creators of several amazing games: Uplink (my fav hacking game), Darwinia/Multiwinia, Defcon, Prison Architect... and I've always enjoyed their devlogs.

    Multiwinia is the most underrated jewel of online gaming ever created. It is an absolute blast, yet no one plays it. You should buy it, get your friends to buy it, and play this fantastic game. Darwinia, the predecessor, is an absolutely sublime single player experience, and sets the scene for Multiwinia. They come as a bundle, play 'em.

    Do you ever have comfort food? Like a good sandwich from a place you've always loved, or a nice book you always re-read every few years. It can take us back to a simpler time, an easier time, when the only thing to worry about is making it to the next bite or the next page. Multiwinia is one of my comfort games. I bought it when originally came out all those years ago and have been playing it every now and then for the past 15 or something years just to get that injection of nostalgia particles…

    Multiwinia is a surprisingly complex strategy game. It sucked me in when I first bought it many years ago and it did it again a month back when it got me addicted for the second time. I've spent a lot of time sending squads of my Multiwinians into battle, many of which went unfavorably. They march out to capture spawn points, capture points, carry giant statues for score, repair and refuel rockets, and more. There's plenty of game modes and the AI give it enough variability in singleplayer to…

    A very simple RTS simulation in a retro style. It's basically an evolved version of Darwinia (which doesn't hold up as well). Probably not worth the full $10 asking price anymore, but still a decent game if you get it cheap enough. You will either need friends or beg on the forums if you want to actually play against other people though.

    Multiwinia, developed and published by Introversion Software, is a fast-paced, minimalist real-time strategy game that reimagines large-scale combat as a vibrant digital playground of chaos and color. Set within the same virtual universe as the studio’s earlier cult hit Darwinia, it trades the introspective tone of its predecessor for a more competitive, arcade-like energy. The premise is simple but effective: the once peaceful digital inhabitants known as Darwinians have splintered into…

    One of the "OG's" of the genre, but in 2022 doesn't have much that sets it apart. If you're looking for a new RTS to sink your teeth into, there's much better options with more meat on the bone.
