After playing only the "main" survival story for over 65 hours, completing the tech tree at day 165, moving into the last threat levels, and still seeing new islands come up with no end in sight, I think I'm done with this game. It was fun for 20 hours, became tedious resource management and planning at 30 hours, became "can I figure out why the load bearing is changing in a single spot to yellow but nowhere else, but wait how the hell did adding weight higher up or off to a side make it better?" at 40 hours, somewhere between 50 and 60 hours I realized I had started tracking the days of the islands so I could just fast forward and watch my poor minions completely shovel an area out, to how the hell do I fit this ultimate weapon on my base to bring the doom, realize wait it has the longest cooldown in history (not in the tooltip), realize crap it can be hit from outside the gigashield I have both below and above it at 67 hours, to where I am now. 2 hours of just fast forwarding and playing 4D chess with what weapons to put where so there is more powa and not even using the doombringer. Yep, I got my money's worth of enjoyment. There are no Steam achievements, so its time to let this one go into the finished scrap pile and get back into my 1,300+ other titles.

Loved every minute. Don't play the main "story" change the game mode to "rogue like" this is where the game shines. multiple play through to get to the final level. Takes many times because this game is difficult but getting there was great fun. There are some minor issues with path finding, for example a unit is digging a hole, but its waiting for another to build the ladders, but easily fixed with using the priority function. ****DEBUNKING THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS *** My characters aren't moving - they don't move if they aren't fed, that's on you. My characters aren't moving back to base at night time - well they don't if they do not have a direct path. The only "bug" in the game is that characters prioritise as you select them so a digger will keep digging and sometimes wait for a "builder" to come build the ladders which i needs to climb out, by using the priority function that character will ignore those settings and build the ladders. 8/10.

I have played this game several times, not 10 hours. The first time was the Beta with a lot of bugs, but there is no blame because it was a Beta. Now, the game has been released for a few months. I don't know if the game has some difficult mechanics or if I'm just unlucky. I have experienced the World map with 3 Snow Maps in a row that can't grow crops—3 maps! When I saw the first map, I already "prepared" a ton of food because I had played a few times in the past, so I knew I needed Diamonds and Titanium. I decided to choose that path, but unbelievably, there were 2 paths after the first Snow Map that "forced" me to go through because there was no other way forward. I lost at the very end of the third map with 150 Titanium and 300 Diamonds stockpiled. I could not survive with 12 Iron Grow tiles and 24 Normal Grow tiles. I also discovered a bug: if you disable all or a few Basic Raw Food items, the Golems will stop working even if I force them. I almost made it through, but I couldn't. If there were no bug, I could disable all Raw Food and wait for the Canned Food, which helps with 80 hunger instead of dumping 40 hunger. I would just wait a bit and let the Canned Factory finish the job. Developer, please fix this bug. I decided to rate the game poorly at first, but I really, really like the mechanics of the game, so... I hope you can understand this message!

I am very much enjoying this game. However, I have one complaint. It's very not obvious that I can go backwards. I was rushing headfirst into the most dangerous area because I didn't know what I was doing. And that got me killed several times and I did not know how to fix it until I figured out that I could just go backwards.

July 2024

Fun game, but it's nearly a negative review for me because of the storage system. You constantly run low on storage space. I don't enjoy the storage simulator aspect of this game. Resource gathering and storage is a key component to the gameplay.
