Deep Space Outpost

I'm 5 hours in and I have already finished all the available research and feel like I've built and seen everything that the game has to offer. Now I'm just building for the sake of expansion and nothing more....which is boring. Oh...and the save system stinks because the newest save file is not at the top...so you have to check each date on all the saves to see which is the latest. Yes...the save does include pictures but that doesn't help at all.

Very simplified Space Haven like. On the one side its a good thing for me, since to complicated game mechanics takes for me the fun out of it, on the other side this one got to simple. With learning the mechanics and try few things out it took me around 10H to reach end of content: self-sufficient base with no need for trade or anything. All in one nice, but not worth the money at time.

I really wanted to like this game but it is maybe a $5 game currently. There are few features. It also explains how to use some things but they don't seem to work as intended like the tractor beam. It feels too simple/easy without having any real goal once you get into full swing production. I hope they expand on it as I love these facility expansion games but there just isn't much to this one.

Reluctantly, I'd say yes. But this is a game in the very early stages of development, with very few features. It reminds me of Stardeus when that first came out. Whether the developer will continue "developing" is another story. I hope so. But at the moment, there are lots of limitations. A very small area in which to mine for resources, and at the moment it doesn't seen as though we can move around - of course, an outpost doesn't move - which could make this a problem mid-to-long-game. The research tree is tiny at the moment. I wouldn't say this was a proof-of-concept, but nor would I say that it's ready for a full release. Bugs seem minimal, which is a plus. I haven't refunded (though my play time of 4 hours, a couple of hours of it spent in pause when I was called away by the missus to do one of those jobs that she assured me would only take a minute, but ended up taking two hours, would preclude that anyway). I'm hoping it will continue improving, and I'm willing to support the dev. Keep watching this, and get in early, if you like to watch games develop gradually.

The Base idea is nice, but not " great". it lacks a bit mote content, expanability and the " 30 min" time frame kills motivation.

Fun little game. Definitely could use some more content/depth. As it is, not much more than 10ish hours of gameplay before it's pretty tapped out.
