CT is not mainly a gaming magazine but its more about computers and technology in general.
Batteries of my cam are empty so I will just translate the short column.
Kernel Panic which is based on the free spring engine reminds us of "Total Annihilation" (1997) (Bullshit of course ( translator's comment) )
Its about creating big armies and defeating the opponent in tactical and strategical battles using differences in terrain.
In Kernel Panic the player is not commanding human units but three parties of a computer universe called hacker, systems, and network.
The classical resource gathering is not present but the speed at which facories spit out units is important since seldomly a games lasts longer than 10 minutes.
The game has a multiplayr modus, a tutorial with speech and some singleplayer missions.
The unuasal graphical style adds to the charme of the game.
