Basic premise is that you evolve your own species and see it through to conquering not only the inhabitants of it's own planet, but also those of other planets. You get to design your species from the cell on up, fight for survival/dominance, build cities/armies, and more. This game reminds me a lot of Black and White 2, but I hope it overcomes that game's faults. Does anyone have any hard info on this game? I can't seem to find much on the gameplay beyond the generic references I just made. I'm hoping there is more to the RTS side of things than is being mentioned. Otherwise this one would be fun for about 8 hours, then I would never look at it again(like Black and White 2).
