I feel like there are a lot of games that get Kickstarted, launch on early access, establish an iffy reputation there, and then get much better later on.

I've been playing Planetary Annihilation a lot lately, and it's gotten much better since it's incredibly underwhelming 1.0 release.

It got written off, and deservedly so, when Uber decided to launch it's "feature complete" 1.0 version that was missing half of the features it should have. Like saving your damned game! And that other Kickstarter the company immediately launched looked like they were trying to raise funds to either complete their previous game, or they were just abandoning their previous game, leaving it half finished.

I'm really glad they cancelled their second Kickstarter and just focused on making Planetary Annihilation better.

If you want to play Total Annihilation, I think that Zero-k lives up to the legacy much better than Planetary Annihilation.

More customizable command bots. 10 different factories, all well balanced. Smart unit AI that will dodge incoming fire and will move to fight at optimal ranges. More interesting economy system. Deformable terrain (both from terraforming commands and some weapons deform the terrain). Up to 20 person multiplayer (10v10). Multiple game modes. Open source, free, and extensive mod support.
