    Conquer, travel from comet to comet and rule the universe while destroying viruses. Quite original, but not enough depth to keep you entertained for days on end. [Nov 2011, p.98]

    Eufloria is a great concept that just feels a little undercooked.

    Eufloria is a basic strategy game that can be both frustrating and entertaining. The overall simplicity might not be enticing for more seasoned fans of the genre, and the slow pace will prove maddening to those expecting more action at a faster pace.

    Only cumbersome controls steer[] this shy of a more eufloric score. [Christmas 2011, p.109]

    Eufloria brings a much-needed minimalist take on the 'RTS' genre and does so quite well.

    It has a look all its own, and the dreamy, ambient score would make for great mood music in an opium den. It is, however, hindered by its controls and a lack of gameplay variety, which doesn't much evolve over its 10 hour campaign.

    Eufloria offers a unique real-time strategy experience that stumbles just shy of greatness.

    This soothing strategy title's mellow vibe and simplistic visuals make it a neat downloadable distraction, but some frustrating quirks keep it from greatness.

    An interesting, and often enjoyable game that could have been so much more. It's evocative visuals and haunting soundtrack make it a true sensory delight and the design concept behind it -- a mellow, minimalist RTS with an arboreal motif -- is inspired stuff. That's why its shortcomings, including abundant downtime and no multiplayer support, feel so frustrating.

    Eufloria is a really weird RTS which will appeal especially newcomers to the genre. It's easy to play but becomes very challenging later on and its hypnotical visuals are refreshing and fun. However, the lack of depth and erratic difficulty can be frustrating as much as the terrible control system.

    Really loved this. Deep strategy, truly beautiful simple art style and magical music.

    Visually it may bare a tenuous comparison to Eden, if    Really loved this. Deep strategy, truly beautiful simple art style and magical music.

    Visually it may bare a tenuous comparison to Eden, if you were to squint. But the gameplay is not the same, at all, even a little bit. If I had to categorise it, I might say it was an RTS of sorts with the music of bladerunner and the visuals of a pastel flavoured kaleidoscope.

    Would be interesting to see Move support Incorporated. It feels like a game that could benefit from a direct-point interface (I have Flight Control in mind, as an example), but that isn't a big negative as I personally felt it functioned perfectly well on Dualshock.

    Its a game that requires thought and a degree of patience, and by that measure perhaps won't be for everyone, but if you like games that test your quick thinking and multi-tasking skills, this is an atmospheric bargain waiting to be discovered.    … Full Review »

    I only played the demo., but I immediately felt that Pixel Junk Eden is 1,000 times better in every way. The concepts were similar, butI only played the demo., but I immediately felt that Pixel Junk Eden is 1,000 times better in every way. The concepts were similar, but Eufloria was very tough to wrap my head around or be immersed in compared to Eden's excellence.
