Exodus Borealis

[h1]Super Addicting Game![/h1] You'll know you enjoyed this game if you launch it, glance at the clock a few hours later, and realize you completely lost track of time. Like every game, Exodus Borealis has its pros and cons. Sure, I'd love to see better graphics, more features, or maybe even a sequel someday. But honestly, even without all of that, I had an amazing time. I put around 10 hours into my very first map, and I enjoyed every minute of it. The best part? That was only the first of four main story maps, with several bonus maps still waiting afterward. I won't spend time talking about the game's originality or its blend of genres - the Steam store page already does that. Instead, I'll talk about something the store page can't really show: [b]Value for money.[/b] If you're wondering whether you'll get your money's worth, my answer is a definite yes. In terms of entertainment per dollar, Exodus Borealis offers an excellent return. Of course, whether you play the second, third, and later maps is entirely up to you. They don't drastically change the core gameplay - they're mostly new layouts with tougher enemies that encourage different strategies and base designs. But I…

a gem. with fantastic music.

Very simple and basic - graphics are ok. no real tutorial and it just feels very cheaply made. Nothing for me.

Exodus Borealis is an excellent tower defense title.

Decent game. I was entertained for a couple of hours - but then the lack of QOL features start to show. Simple stuff like auto-pausing production when a certain limit is reached or the ability to see if your farmers are successfull in tending a fields in a season. A few minor QOL updates would have made this game a recommendation, but since this game clearly is considered complete by the devs, I cannot recommend it.

Fun game, looks good, has a great balance between it's tower defense and it's city management. My primary issue is one of direction, that is, a lack of once I left the tutorial. The goal is to build a statue that includes all the gems plus a special gem that you get from the centre of the island ... but there was no clear way about how to get past the first gate. I had everything researched, every building built, a successful maze that broke down wave upon wave of enemies ... but no clear way on how to progress. I had the sense that I had to go further into the island, to build a second, perhaps even third community and its associated tower defense, but nothing in the tips indicated what I needed to do, and if the tutorial had mentioned it, that was hours ago. There were no 'quest' goals (like Do X To Open Gate), nothing to click on the gate ... so ... it was fun, but if you can't tell me, in game, how to get to the next area ... I think I'm done. Had fun, better than Diplomacy Is Not An Option.
