Sci-fi 4X with zoomed-in spherical planets à la Planetary Annihilation.

The devs are right that their game is innovative, but the poor production values make me sceptical of the quality of everything else. Even their website is laughable: http://xeniasark.com/

Their trailer isn't even on YouTube so I can't link directly to it here. Just watch it on the Steam page.

I cannot in good conscience put this game on the release schedule (even their Steam banner is ugly and utterly void of personality), but I'll be keeping an eye on it. [EDIT: I ended up putting it on. What's the point of a release schedule if you don't put innovative stuff on it?] Hopefully someone like Amplitude will do the same, and we'll get this glorious concept fully realized some day in the not-too-distant future.

If you don't understand the concept, the basic idea is: Alpha Centauri, but with multiple planets. Their spherical representation is just a bonus.

Early Access launch is planned for sometime this month.

Thanks again to Turnus for unearthing this.

Game just came out. I will update the release schedule later today. I asked the devs for a key, and if they give me one I will play the game and review it asap: https://steamcommunity.com/app/944640/d ... 991557881/
