Whatever hours you see that I have on steam by the time you read this is a fraction of the time I've spent in this game. I owned it back when it was new. I bought crossfire. The mind worms have long since captured me. I am one with planet now. Join me.

The Pregame before Beyond Earth. A fun, futuristic look at humanity, on a new planet, seperated by Idology. Wonders, Terrorforming units and quickly upgradable unit, make the game fun and moves quickly.

Played without issue on Windows 11. Definite recommend, especially if you have memories playing it as a kid/teen. In terms of gameplay, it doesn't have some of the modern polish but it is a solid game. The story is interesting and and fun to explore the d

One of the best games of all time if you specifically enjoy future/space-based builder sims and turn-based-strategy, which I do. :)

Janky movement controls, graphics straight of out the windows 95 era, brutal and / or braindead AI controlled rival factions, neutral mobs that seem to be heatseeking towards formers and colony pods, obscene levels of unit customization that leads you to

This is the best RTS I've ever played. Sure I do love galactic battlegrounds, starcraft, aoe, warcraft, but none of these games get even remotely close to the "amazeness" of Alpha Centauri. What an absolute legendary gem. I don't even know where to beg

Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri Planetary Pack, developed by Firaxis Games and published by Electronic Arts, remains one of the most ambitious and intellectually rich 4X strategy experiences ever created. Combining the original Alpha Centauri with its expans

This is the pinnacle of civilization, the game not the concept. It's just a well fleshed out game. The faction leaders have personality. The storyline is intriguing. The sci-fi is crunchy. Factions will actually surrender under the right circumstances! I'

Alpha Centauri is probably my favorite 4X game of all time. Good story line and scenario. I played this game a whole lot at the turn of the millennium Get the hell off of Earth and travel to Alpha Centauri only to be met with the same nonsense you w

Sadly despite the misleading 2024 release date, this just crashes immediately on planetfall (alien crossfire). Why bother doing a fake rerelease if you won't even fix it to work. Shame on you Firaxis.

Many say that the game no longer works but it works fine for me on Proton 10 beta. Fun game.

Got the same problem as many others: Alien Crossfire crashes when making planetfall.

Learning and getting used to the UI is a fat pain in the balls, and best of luck keeping track of all your stuff in late game. However, if you can deal with all that, this is an AWESOME strategy game and quite possibly the best science fiction video game

Alpha Centauri is one of my all time best games. I got it on a whim on steam, and worked fine for about a week. However, as of the latest Win11 update it crashes on starting a game. Ill update this review when I can get it working.
