Sintopia

I really wanted to like this game. A great concept with decent humor that reminded me of the Dungeons or Overlord games. However... The fundamentals are bad. Moving the camera around when placing objects is bad. Trying to create path logic for your souls is bad and works just as much as it fails. Every part of the management side of the game is like someone smashed it all together after a concept meeting and nobody vetted how any of the systems work and interact. You have no real power over the overworld and the spells you have are like bringing a dollar store squirt gun to a firehose fight. They're all annoying to use as if you were tasked with using your mouse with a stick from 6ft away. They don't act consistently. On the hell side, all of your imps are constantly taking breaks just as much as they work. If the imp at your waiting station goes on break, no souls can travel through that stopping point. Even when I have rest rooms next to work buildings, the imps still stand in the doorway playing with themselves instead of going to the rest room, even when it's empty. I don't believe the whole game is vibe coded like some others but it absolutely lacks critical oversight…

games fun at first. once you get to level 4 every soul is like 100+ sin and theres no way to clear that amount early game before you get completely back logged. i really wanted to like this game as it hit like 3 itches for me.. but at this point its getting uninstalled and probably wont revisit. i love complicated games but they just literally make it to where you are destined to lose.

Thought I'd play this for a couple hours on a quiet Sunday, fun little game reminds me of black and white and dungeon keeper, before I knew it 10 hours had passed and I regret nothing. my only gripe of this game is some of the controls can be sensitive and the camera never goes high enough for a good top down over view.

It's a threesome between Tycoon Game(tm), Black&White and Dungeon Keeper. Cool campaign, entertaining story, fun worldbuilding, good humor, interesting characters. If you enjoy your stay there's much more to do in challenge modes and sandboxes, too. Definitely worth the price.

Great automation and really interesting mechanics when you're in hell. However... the overworld is such a distraction. The game mechanics thrive on you having a lot of sinners and cycling through them more than once. However, if you just don't catch ♥♥♥♥ fast enough, it is swarm after swarm of zombies or hell spawns that just destroy your troops every time and it's such a pain in the ass. And it always happens right as the large gameplay is in action when you REALLY gotta focus on optimizing hell but you're constantly swarmed by phone ringing noise notifications because your troops are constantly dying. overworld needs some tweaking or better control or something.

Fun game. Bought on sale and well worth the price.
