This game offers the player a mix of puzzle and civbuilding. Logistics rules this game so placement of your storage is key while production itself offers some help. I find it rather simple but in a intuitive to the point way, still providing a depth that makes you think, consider and plan ahead. The game design is a beutiful composition of well selected artwork for UI and across the board, thoroughly considered tools avaliable to the player, atmospheric music and silky smooth gameplaying experience. I had to really go looking for any negative and that is the slight eyebrow-raising experience when the automatic house-construction tries to steal the plot you intended to build on - but you can casually destroy until it selects a better spot. That detracts practically nothing from the great experience this game offers and I truelly hope it gains traction so this developer is encouraged to make the most of his clear and unqestionable talent in this field.4 found this helpful
Fun logistics puzzler with some cool ideas. Targeted end goals provide good endgame stopping points4 found this helpful
A procedural city builder about how well you can do, not how long you can survive. The timed goals for later rewards creating a score attack like game feel is especially enjoyable.3 found this helpful
This is a fun little game that's easy to pick up and learn. The tactics are straightforward, and you could probably finish a playthrough in 5–6 hours if you focused on it. I think i did 3 runs of this game My biggest criticism is the limited replayability. I wish there were more incentives in the late game to keep building and expanding an empire beyond the 15-year goals, which are enjoyable to work toward. That said, the game will definitely keep you entertained for a few runs. Overall, it's a solid experience, and I hope the developers continue updating and expanding it.2 found this helpful
It's more of puzzle game than a straight city builder. The game mechanics are simple, the challenge comes from building placement, adjacencies, how to get resources where you need them, access to water and how to bridge the gap to next settlement location. Doing the challenges unlocks perks for next runs that will makes it easier to hit the harder challenges in good time. The challenges are quite challenging you need to figure out a good strategy to get 3 stars so there's replayability there.2 found this helpful
This is a very intriguing. It does appear to get harder as you get bigger. Transporting goods to each city can be challenging. It is all a good challenge and would recommend this game to others.1 found this helpful
