Sid Meier's EFU

[Royal Winter]

Humanity on the edge of extinction?  Check.
Last ditch effort to save the human race in an alien landscape?  Check.
Native life forms that use psychic attacks to subdue human life?  Check.
Ancient technology left behind by previous race that we're trying to understand?  Check.
Competing factions with conflicting and even hostile ideologies who should instead be working together considering what's at risk?  Check.

I just noticed that EFU is a lot like Alpha Centuari, not that I'm saying it's a bad thing.

I've always been more partial of comparing EFU to fallout in my opinion. EFU1 had a very faullout style vibe and now EFU:R has it even moreso so I am totally in love with it even more.

alpha centauri was about expansion and growth. The decline and destruction of civilization, and the end times has always been more EFU's theme. It's very apocalyptic. Though it shares themes with both Alpha Centauri and Fallout, these themes - a hostile, unforgiving environment - are not necessarily it's central characterization.

Well, except EFU:M. That was totally Fallout, even had Rads.

Honestly, corrupt totalitarian governments? Horrible beasts from below the earth? Mutations, plagues, the last desperate pockets of civilization fighting against the encroaching dark?

EFU is Gears of War. Grab a Chainsaw Crossbow and get behind a chest high wall.
