SunAge is a terrible RTS, lacking definition, originality, or fun, wrapped in a half-arsed story.The gameis a bleak view of the future shoehorned into a decrepit seven year-old RTS, which lets you take control of one of three factions: mutants, humans and robots. The former two are fighting for superiority on a radiation-ravaged Earth. Then, in a classic moment of human idiocy, the humans discover a gateway to a new planet that is just right for continuing the race - but when they jump through, it's full of angry robots. Oh noes!!1oneone
