Ecopunk

June 2026. The game is a great concept, but I wouldn't claim it has enormous potential. Unlike the game's predecessor, this one is far more focused on zombies and less about nature itself. Do not but this game until at least January 2027. In its current state, the QoL is so low that your people will starve while holding food, or die of thirst while holding water because you haven't hit the right buttons. It is unrealistic about death to the point of absurdity, and if someone is dying there is no indication whatsoever. Needs at least another 6 months to become "playable."

I've been enjoying myself a lot with this game so far. Sad how overlooked it is. For now, I would get it when it's on sale. Not because it lacks quality, but because there's not That much content in there just yet. You're gonna get about two dozen hours worth of gameplay if you take your time though. Really hoping the devs aren't gonna give up due to the lack of feedback. It's a really cool game already, seems inspired by Rimworld but also taking a lot from their previous game. I can see mechanics from Green Project in there that have been overworked and polished and I really like that. It's a combination that just works. There's a lot of potential for more in here and I hope we will get to see where the devs are taking this.

The game is incredibly micro-heavy at the moment and lacks balancing. For example, early on you want to get a lot of grass. To auto-harvest grass, you have to select every tree that produces it and manually mark "harvest grass produced by this tree". There is no way to set any limits or conditions, if you have enough grass, you have to un-mark auto-harvest. If grass is spawned on the other side of a wall, the harvester will walk around the wall and possibly get killed when you aren't watching. The game is filled with little UI flaws like this: you can't set "autoequip item when available" (you have to assign each item manually), you can't limit auto-harvest on regenerating rocks, you can't auto-cut-trees-when-needed, you can't demolish trees in one go (you have to cut them twice quickly, which requires babysitting the tree cutter) and many, many others. As it stands, the game requires the player to do too many chores. Most of the difficulty comes from the chaos of having to manually manage 9001 things at once - once you do manage the chaos, there's no challenge left.

Even on a barely running laptop, the game runs great. Of course it's early access so a lot to be tweaked. But I certainly haven't been let down by what i've seen and played. Just can't wait for more content, to be able to expand, and get achievements.

The setting and the whole concept is amazing in my opinion. The biggest problem this game has is that for some reason even after assigning specific jobs for people, they still manage to stay idle. I know that it’s probably my fault but I don’t think that a person that only has an ecologist job while having tree seeds in the global inventory should stand idle when I set trees to be planted. Again it’s probably me not seeing something because a lot of the times they actually do their job but I still think that you should be able to directly order them to do a specific job that is not hunting. Other then that, amazing game

Good Game :) Keep up the good work
