The short answer is that it's coming. The long answer is that due to a series of scheduling conflicts with me, the reviewer, as well as issues with the game, enough time hasn't been spent with the game to properly evaluate it…yet.
At this point I'm really enjoying the game – except, that is, when it doesn't work or crashes. As many of you have likely heard, Elemental's launch was not particularly great. The game came out in a fairly unstable state and, despite many patches, still crashes on me at least once a day during my playtime. Even more annoying, though? The time the game updated and then wouldn't let me load my old saves because they were associated with an older version.
Still, despite the technical issues, I still find the time I spend with Elemental enjoyable. Its vaguely Civilization style gameplay is addictive (if brutally difficult to learn), and I've spent far longer playing it than I often mean to (sadly being reminded of this when it crashes on me). Even as I type this I find myself searching the back of my mind for when I'll have time to play it again, or, better yet, be able to finally try out the multiplayer with a friend. Oh yeah, did I mention they haven't turned on the servers for multiplayer yet?
Check back early next week for our Elemental review. For now the best thing I can advise is to do as much research about the game as you can, because at this point the game feels incomplete enough that it should come with a warning to potential customers.
Hey I guess this is sort of good news. My wild guess is 6ish.
