The gameplay loop is addictive, with players constantly micromanaging their colony and working towards long-term goals like unlocking upgrades in the tech tree.

What we like:
  • Good variety of starting and difficulty options
  • Interesting story and exploration mechanics
  • Wide variety of buildings and environments
  • Fun hero and exploration system
  • Severely punishing gameplay
What could be improved:
  • Slow pacing in late game
  • No smart road building/pathing
  • Too many unintuitive blocks in tech and resources

  • post-apocalyptic
  • survival
  • city-building
  • simulation
  • management
