game does not work on modern computers

Crashing has been fixed, game plays well, balancing is all over the place.

When I say balancing is all over the place, I mean there is zero balancing, things are either way OP, too expensive to get down without playing some OP play style, or completely useless.\

Not currently worth full price for that fact above. Then add to it the missing features that should be there. Naval combat is a joke, religion is a hollow shell, the tech tree is boring/unimpressive, and the resources on any given map are highly restrictive, and will prevent players (and especially AI) from being any challenge just due to luck. Only one or two playstyles are effective, and are boring after playing the same way multiple times in a row.

So far, this game is actually really good. The colony side is fun, simple enough to be easy to learn, complex enough to have plenty of room for strategy and, hopefully they'll expand it even more. The space aspect is also pretty good in it's early state, but is a bit bare boned (which is to be expected)

The only complaints I have is the technology screen, to me, it feel like it's restricted, and some of the technologies that you have to choose the one over the other seem to not be comparable trade off's. And of some of those technologies (the difference between solar/geothermal/wind and wave) are not explained well in terms of their bonuses and their negatives
And my other complaint is the UI. There have been several points where I right click to cancel/back out of something and it brings up a radial menu. And the spatial map could need some improvment when it comes to ship movement and the general going into and out of the planet/orbit/space view.

One thing that I'm hoping that they'll look into is ground combat. So far as I've seen they've mentioned nothing of the sort, but I would like to see them do something with it, maybe along the lines of loading up troopships with units and landing them on the planet to overwhelm the planet defenders, have orbital ships provide bombardment, and have certain spaceships be able to land and be naval ships

A really fun game for you and your "friends".

Basically Left 4 dead, done right

Would love to play it, looks really fun and such, but whenever the game loads it gets stuck asking me if I want the tutorial, and that's it.

Have tried it on two different computers, same results on both computer, have played around with the settings and nothing has changed.

If it works for you, congrats, hope your enjoying it, I'll be here waiting for an update
