The game has you manage population resources to maintain the colony you build each level. I find it a lot of fun to figure out how best to grow and not run out of what I need. When I first started the game up, I had problems with it crashing after a couple minutes. I disconnected its internet access for both inbound and outbound packets. I haven’t had any issues since. I have no idea why that worked.

Enough gameplay to keep me engaged for a while, with different campaigns being slightly different. I was discouraged by the reviews and didn't expect much, but it was a nice surprise. Would recommend

Great game, I originally played on Xbox and beat the entire game on difficult, twice, years ago and just got the sale on Steam, I'm enjoying it just as much the third time around.

I was somewhat hesitant to buy this, given the mixed, and occasionally very negative, reviews. I've actually been quite pleasantly surprised by it and feel the game is underrated. I've not encountered any performance issues at all, and it's turning out to be a perfectly competent and relaxing colony management sim. It's nothing mind-blowing, but is reasonably polished, immersive and, in my opinion, fun! The music and voice acting in particular is great, and it's a fun way to pass the time if you're a strategy/sim fan and want something a little more streamlined. An absolute steal on deep discount, which it currently is!
