Volantia

not worth the listed price. maybe $5 (at best) or less. not much of a challenge honestly, most of the research and buildings are useless. just rush to the 7 pillars and activate them. that's about it. nothing else matters. pointless to research too far along the tech tree. tutorial is somewhat broken - no check in place for failing tutorial. the game ends up being in a 'stuck' mode and forced to quit and restart manually. pretty graphics, neat concept, but just falls flat on game play. very bland.

i didnt realize this game was out until a few days ago its a fun little kingdom builder, cute graphics, not super deep but its good material for listening to music or podcasts and zoning out. only really have like three things i wish this game has that it doesnt: 1) half speed setting. normal speed can be a bit fast for me when im stoned out lmao 2) some kind of infinite survival mode 3) this is definitely the most frivolous thing, but i wish there was an option to play it with a night-time palette. im up nights and its kinda bright to look at in the evening (also i just have a weakness for night aesthetics lmao) dont pass this up imo unless youve already got your fill of citybuilding and/or chill-out games

I got this game on Humble Bundle back in the day, I'm disappointed that a non DMR copy no longer seems to exist But for some reason this version is...broken? I can only get to the first 3 of the 7 pillar things you need to activate to stablize the islands. No matter what I try I can't get the other 4 to spawn in the game. Waste of money.

It's so cute! And the design is surprisingly good - it will teach you a lot about hauling efficiency and pacing.

It's very clear the devs gave up on this game towards the end of development, things just sort of run out and your left with no need to do anything, there's no end game and the only resource that you're left needing is fruit for food and dust. There's not even a way to clear undesirable tiles to optimise your layout if you wanted to end your game with a pretty self-sufficient town.

I enjoyed it, it's a simple game but really fun. Played for longer than the 5 hours as I played it from Humble Bundle's vault before buying on Steam because I wanted it in my library :)
