About Colony

It's the year 2112 and the Earth has been depleted of all its resources. Cities are beginning to crumble as the Earth's crust is collapsing under their weight. Scientists estimate that the Earth will be unable to sustain life in less than 3 months - the human race is doomed.

The ARK project begins!

Its mission is to carry the last remaining humans to space to seek out planets that might sustain life and colonize them. You are the captain of the ARK, your duties are to locate planets and scan them for what elements they have that might be useful to you. If the planet can sustain life, it’ll be your decision to establish a colony there and to monitor and nurture its development.. You have a limited number of resources which you must gather from planets. You also have a set number of "Genesis Groups" which will consist of a male and female and limited supplies to start a colony.

In your travels, you will encounter alien life and you will have several options – work with them to collect resources, trade, maybe even co-exist – or work against them to establish control of the planet and take their resources by force, if necessary.

You will collect resources and elements and will have the ability to combine several together in order to make other items necessary to survive. For instance, you will need to locate hydrogen and oxygen and combine them to create fuel for your ship. You will also need aluminum combined with something else to repair your ship from damage, etc...

The fate of the human race is in YOUR HANDS!

✦ AI summary

Colony has an interesting premise that players appreciate, but execution falls short with clunky controls, lack of proper tutorials, and limited gameplay depth that undermine the colonization concept. Players note the game feels underfunded and repetitive, though some find brief enjoyment in its alien encounters and crafting elements. Most reviewers suggest this is only worth purchasing at a very low price point, if at all.

Very interesting little game, with great ideas. Would like to see what developer could do with a proper team and budget.

This Game is not even worth the dollar, sure you can fly around in a spaceship but the controls are clunky and there is no way to turn 360 degrees so you can go back to the planet you just flew past. In addition though I've only played for about 10 mins it is quite clear to me that there is little to no point of actually colonzing planets(the whole point of the game). In conclusion it simply seems that this game, while an amazing concept, has been executed astoundingly poorly and is rather underfunded. If there was a major update to the game which was not a paid DLC I would be more than happy to altar my review based on the new gamplay added.

Fun little side game. Alien encounters are neat, combining elements is fun. Well worth the price.

Don't get this game. Its repetitive, linear, plain and boring. Its also buggy too.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
