I'd say it's worth it. They update quite often and it's been some time since it last crashed for me.

I, too, have interest in what state SotS2 is in. Loved the first one! I'm less interested in bugs and more interested in whether the missing features have been implemented yet :)

I'm interested too, but not as much as you guys, since it barely worked on here :-\

From what I've found playing today, quite a lot has been fixed since the last time I opened it. However, I saw 2 broken techs, which means there could be more, that showed a 0 turn research time and blank icons. Those were x-ray beamers and HEAP projectiles (or something like that. ballistics tree). No crashes yet.

I can't believe they made such a complete mess of this really. Kerberos have really got a hard sell if they want people to buy future games, after this and Fort Zombie..

I belive they released it that way because it was either that or not having it released at all.

dont worry paradox ruins all their games they decide to publish. I have a feeling paradox forced them to release. I have yet to see a non buggy / complete game from them. honestly. every game i get from paradox gets me so excited then I play it and its so unfinished or buggy it makes me cry.

I gotta say though, the guys have been working their asses off. Most people would have released the game, put out a few token patches and then laughed as they rolled around on piles of money. These guys have been working since release to get the game in a better state, and the game as it stands today is far better and much more complete than many others. Moo3 comes to mind, which followed the exact pattern I mention above. Broken release, token patches and then support (and the company) vanishes.

Yer Kerberos are a good bunch of people, but I get the feeling they don't make much in the way of margins because they always seem rushed to get something out.
Possibly they should try to do their next project via kickstarter or somesuch, might work out better for them not to be held to publisher timelines.

Kerberos tends to get "distracted" by fixing their past games from what I've seen.

Just got this game today (£8 off Amazon.co.uk) and from what I've seen it's pretty functional. I noticed the HEAP missiles are broken, but that's about it. Then again, I only played like 10 minutes of it and had no idea what I was doing :P
