I like the game for the price, but the fact your progress does not save is a deal breaker.

I should have read the reviews. Save games are broken. only partially saving progress. Not much to actually do in the game.

It's a simple game of strategy. It's something to have in the background. At the end (when getting to level 10) things get more interesting. Yes, it seems it doesn't save everything but it saves something I think it's part of the game. Just reach level ten send some ships and you are done. I think.

very little content. game does not save progress except from earned gold. it's not labeled as early access though it's a beta version. spend your money elsewhere.

meh... its exactly what you expect. you either love it or not. meh... also: very short playtime

I like the art. The gameplay is terrible. You unlock one (of four) metals at a time, each time increasing the type of ingots you can make and the products made for those ingots. Hit a production goal for an item(s) and you level up and unlock the next bit of the island. You can spend money to increase the output of your mines, but all of your manufacturing buildings build at a set pace. The only way to increase the output of a particular item is to pay to unlock another slot in that building. You're limited to four slots per building and if you double up on one item, it generally means you have to let another item idle until you hit your production goal. Make no mistake, that little island you see in the screenshots and demo is the ONLY island. The end game consists of manufacturing different end goods and trading them for furs to load your trade ship. I had my first load of furs ready at about level 9 (although any levels after 7 don't unlock anything but a cash reward) and sent my ship off expecting the world to open up and more islands with new manufacturing trees to explore. Nope. Your ship returns immediately wanting another 45 fur. Then I hit level 10, and the game was lik…
