I just picked up this game and it’s fulfilling the I-War bug for me. A lot of similarities and how it feels, but different enough to be a fresh experience.
It’s part of a series of games that I didn’t know much about. It’s not very expensive on Steam and I highly recommend it for those looking for another game.
The issue I have with Evochron is basically that its planets are essentially lifeless, essentially textured rocks, no vegetation whatsoever. Even the cities are jusr a few buildings, and that’s it. I have yet to find a game that manages to create *inhabited* planet that are actually believable, with vegetation, cities, roads, traffic (air and ground based). To date, sadly, to my knowledge no game offers that.
