PlayTM writes: "Darwinia was an utterly charming combination of puzzler and RTS, mixed vigorously in a bowl with lots of heavy retro cream. The creation of a relatively tiny development team - proving the antithesis of too many cooks spoil the broth - it brought silvery tears of nostalgic joy to gamers of a certain vintage. At the same time it offered gameplay that could appeal to all those who liked their games to be cerebral as well as violent. Despite a few minor bugs and pathfinding issues I thought it was an absolute triumph when I reviewed it many moons ago. Now, at the tail end of the 2008, we get a multiplayer version of Darwinia, a game which, if we are being honest, never felt like the kind of game that really required it. Darwinia was a marvelous little single player game that stood out as an exemplar of the notion that gameplay is king, and did all this without the massive hype of the remarkably similar Portal."

We are still waiting for the Tolstoy-esque war game where, by and large, instructions must be issued prior to engagement and may turn out to be irrelevant due to unforeseen events, where orders handed over to a messenger during the heat of the battle may be struck down by a stray musket shot before they are ever received. You know what gets closest? Multiwinia. Honest.
