✦ AI summary

Colony is a simple real-time strategy game about managing rival ant colonies competing for scarce resources, with a charming core concept that players generally find enjoyable once they understand the mechanics. The main criticisms center on the rough presentation, lack of a proper tutorial, unintuitive menu design, and limited depth that leaves players without much to do after defeating initial enemies. Most players feel the game is worth trying given its low price, though some suggest waiting for promised updates to address the execution issues.

[/th] [/tr] [/table] [u][h1]A short-term strategy about the life and rivalry of ants. [/h1] [/u] The concept is simple and intuitive.

[h1] This is a simple strategy and survival game about the life of ants [/h1] [code] There are two colonies, and resources are scarce. You need to manage them, fight with your neighbors, and simply survive [/code] But how long the game will last depends only on you and your style of play. There are several simple and more complex game models where you are initially given a different amount of resources to build. Follow me to the curator!

When i first tried Colony i had no idea what to do, there is no hand-holding so its up to you to figure things out. I kept getting my ass kicked until i fully understood how everything worked and after that it revealed what a pleasant game this really is. A bit rough around the edges, could have needed some more work and lacking a proper tutorial but under that rubble lies a charming RTS that is worth trying. Recommended

Sadly, I cannot recommend this game at the state it is in but the developer mentioned somewhere he plans to update it soon. Maybe I'll be able to change my review then. It is indeed a fun little game with a cool concept. You must take care of your ant colony and help it grow. It sounds and is a cool idea but unfortunately the execution is poor. It seems like a starting project of the developer and it shows. The biggest cons it has are problematic menus (they drop but you can't hide them again), no tutorial (thought it is easy to figure most stuff out), some things don't make sense like for example how many warehouses you can built or why not more etc, the forestation tool is kinda of a mystery also.. Another big flaw is that after you defeat the starting enemies there is nothing for the player to do other than watching the ants. They never respawn nor there is some other threat or anything else to make this a game and there is no winning or losing screen. There is nothing actually after you either win or lose nor something to make the player feel satisfied. The menus also lag a lot and you can't read well what they require or how to use some things or even what they do or how the…
