Highly, highly, highly recommended. This is a 4X RTS distilled down to its purest essence - its simplicity is part of its appeal.

This game is crack. Don't ask yourself if you should get this game, when you should really be trying to decide between a planetary cannon, a luxury goods factory, or a capital ship.

In Fate of the World, you have to strike an excruciatingly hard-to-maintain balance between managing the ever-dwindling resources of a planet with a degrading environment, disastrous economic collapses and civil unrest.

If you ever wanted to rule the world, this game will rapidly help to disabuse you of such a ridiculous notion. On the bright side, I am able to consistently bring peace to the Middle East.
