holoz0r's A-Z of Steam: Earth 2150: Lost Souls

130 years from now, we might live in the world of Earth 2150: Lost Souls. Why do I say this? I say this because the visuals, graphics, plot, and premise of Earth 2150: Lost Souls is so vague, so grainy, so indistinct, so blurry, and so very undefined that anything could be possible.

There's something of the makings of a strategy game behind the fact that buidlings are indistinguishable from units, and neither seem to ever be planted in the extraordinarily low resolution environments.

There's trailers for each faction in the game that don't load, and some sort of unexplained split screen gimmick where you can have a base, army, and other things in different places on a single planet and switch between all of them in separate viewports.

Controls are the clunkiest of any strategy game I've ever played, even attempts at strategy games on a console. Not sure how you get this so wrong on a PC.

I'm even less sure how this ended up in my Steam library. It was likely part of an Indie-Gala bundle that suckered me in with "5 games worth $120USD for $4" - except that all of those games bar one were total pieces of shovelware with a bloated RRP.

Stay away from Earth 2150: Lost Souls. I hope Elon can help carry humanity to mars, because if I were to live another 130 years - I wouldn't want to perceive or be conscious of the world depicted in this game - I'd instead request to be euthanized.

This may've been a good game when it was first released, but it has not aged well at all.
