Really enjoyable city builder, I like the futuristic setting, and the way the map design makes you rethink how you are going to plan out your cities. Bought this ages ago when it was still in beta/early access. The game has come along way since then , and if time permits, it's well worth playing. :)

So I got this game to satisfy this craving I have for city building and management. I have played similar games before in various points of my life as well as classic RTS games. So I am not new to these kinds of games. I like the concept and look of this game in particular and I want it to improve and succeed. However. There are criticisms I have that simply cannot be ignored and I must include them here. First of all there is a lack of a tutorial for how to navigate and use the controls which are necessary for a game like this. Even as someone who's not new to the genre, this is an entirely different game. Not many will come into this knowing how to navigate. I feel that adding an introduction to the controls and giving the player the ability to skip this introduction would be beneficial. Second, the tutorials. They are not very clear and seem more like small starter goals to have a fully functioning city. The text is also not very clear at times. I got stuck on the trading portal, not knowing how to get it working. Then I realised there was more to read by clicking the arrows on the trading portal tutorial. Which leads to my next criticism and probably the major one. This menu..…

This is a pretty special game. There's nothing else quite like it.

Great game. Cool and creative setting. Only con is gameplay is a bit shorter than other city builders

Good game. A city builder that doesn't hold your hand so much. Some problems that at first seem very difficult just require you to look at things a little differently. Very few things I don't like about it. Looks cool when your city gets bigger.

Great little city builder game. If you like city builders at all you'll likely like this game.
