How it plays

It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are science fiction. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for 2.5Ghz or better, 2 GB RAM and 500 MB available space. At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
