Excellent so far - Such a 'basic' design, but still sheer brilliance. I encourage any fan of retro-RTS games to at least download the demo. I'll be reviewing it soon, if you're still unsure...
For those of you who have it, I've noticed a little glitch in that if you set the terrain detail to 'I Need to Upgrade', you can take your SQUAD or DARWINIANS/Officers ways you can't go on 'High' or even 'Medium'. So if you're genuinely stuck, and are sick of not being able to get up a certain slope - try downgrading the graphics quality through the options and see if you can get your characters up the same hill!

Finished it yesterday. Not so much a game as a toy. It never got the heart racing, but the closing battles were excellent. It's a beautifully retro game in design.
