First and foremost this is almost a niche type of game. Basically it is horrifically fun, but you have to appreciate gravity sandboxes and pixel graphics to be able to enjoy this game to it's fullest extent. In this game, we control a brain [cortex] which is the center hub of activity in Cortex Command. The story of the game has humans who separated their brains from their bodies so they can explore space without having the physical restraints of their bodies. Instead, replaced with various robotic and organic 'dummy' bodies. The controls in this game is somewhat 'hacky', however once you master the controls it'll feel second nature and game takes a serious upturn. As of now there is a campaign in alpha phase. This campaign has you choose a faction [which is not fully implemented in yet] and try to take over Midas [the planet you're trying to conquer]. But the real fun comes form the sandbox skirmish modes of various difficulties. Where you can either survive for a definite amount of time or sandbox and spawn enemies infinitely.
I've been a long time member of the Data Realms Fan Forums [DRLFF], however it's mostly not the game that keeps you attracted to forum or the game itself. It's the community. Not only is community not hostile at all. I feel that they will help when they can and there hasn't been any power corrupt admins at all. Over the years of the game's development.The community has pushed out more modded content then official content at a ratio of close to 1:20. There are also some mods which created milestones, such as the Online Deathmatch mod [hacky but real network play] and Abdul's Vehicle mod [Wheels working].
Please give this game a try and purchase a copy if you like it and support the developer, Data! It's been my first and foremost favorite indie game of all time. It probably will continue to be.
