okay, it's a strategy game, so expect a learning curve. Spend 5 or maybe 10 minutes on the tutorial on the website and you're all set for your first game.
The game can be challenging as you want. Yes, it has the usual idiots who enjoy totally owning newbies, and yes, it could use an ingame tutorial. But I've rarely had as much fun in any online game as I did in Intergalactics. Don't wanna get owned by experienced players? np, most of them will agree to team up with you and play cooperatively, or play just against AIs
