Picked this game up largely on a whim. After reading Kevin's review I became a little hesitant, but considering both the GS and 1up reviews have lots of positive statements mixed in with their criticism. I thought what the heck, I really like SINS, yes I know different dev, and I want to support Stardock due to their DRM free policy. So why not.

Played for about 2h now, and so far my impressions are positive. This is coming from someone who never played DOTA, so I really have no frame of reference. The game really feels like it comes from the early 1990s, how it just throws you into the game and expects you to swim. It would have been easier to live with the complete lack of a tutorial, if the game had a nice 1990s manual, aka really thick with a novella at the start But it doesn't, so I had to hit the Stradock forums to look at a getting started guide someone was kind of enough to write up.

I think I will write a full review once I've spent more time with the game.

Anyone else pick this game up? I'm looking for people to play with, maybe use a vent server so we have a slight advantage. My Impulse ID is NodtheThird if anyone wants to add me as a friend
