I found a bad preview (in German) today that tells about the same:
- bad music (sqeaky)
- no micromanagement, simplification, perfunctory management
- pixelated(?) graphics
- like a pared-down version of galactic civ for newcomers
First impressions: (just) sufficient.

However, I will give the demo a try.
