    It's a very fun game but it requires an open mind.

    It shouldn't work, but it's most certainly a triumph. [Issue#212, p.103]

    Small frustrations and a wonky camera keep an otherwise stylish RTS-lite from being brilliant, but Eufloria is one of the more interesting strategy titles. [Holiday 2011, p.85]

    Originality is the hallmark of a great game and while Eufloria has its flaws – it's rather repetitive due to a lack of variation – it more than makes up for it with its unique premise and ditto execution.

    It may look unassuming, but beneath its well-crafted RTS-lite design, Eufloria speaks to a much more powerful message than many games attempt. It subtly explores the very basic themes that RTSes take for granted, and asks players to find that meaning. In that, it's extremely successful.

    Eufloria is an ambitious game in constant search of a way to properly engage the player.

    Clear, calm, yet demanding: Eufloria's gameplay is simply convincing. A lot of love went into this game, whose only shortcoming is the lack of a multiplayer option.

    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. I'll not write a review for Eden here, but this was my immediate impression.… Full Review »
