This game is an action-strategy game, but what made Minecraft so appealing was the ability to build things. That little flash of a building assembling guves me the impression that we'll 

Thar she blows! 

Well, this looks like it may be a nice bit of fun. Strategy games are normally not really my thing. I have played a bit of Minecraft and I remember enjoying it, so I think I will give it a shot.
