Like I said, Etherium isn’t awful. It mostly works—though I did have a few crashes to desktop—and laughing with friends along the way could turn it into a good time. But even in the somewhat rarefied atmosphere of modern RTS games, there’s not enough here. Etherium’s few compelling ideas have already been done better in other games.... Looking over the genre as it stands today, even the most ardent strategy fan has to admit that “mostly functional beige” just isn’t good enough.
