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

Honestly not a bad little colony manager. It's nothing stellar, but it's pretty fun. Underrated in its time.

Needs more development and more building options/strategy paths. I think it could benefit from more early game resource gathering methods. Trade could also use work, but a really cool mechanic over all. It has okay graphics and fun game play. It is a "Frost Punk" like survival strategy style city builder game, but it is simpler than some of the other examples of the genre, and therefore less exasperating; less rug-pulls, dead end strategy paths, and death spirals. Liked it and think it has great potential.

I found the game to be very enjoyable. There are a great many reviews stating that the game crashes all the time - which it does on newer chips. This can easily be overcome by adding the following variable to the game properties in Steam Right click on Aven Colony in Steam and paste the following into launch options. cmd /c "set OPENSSL_ia32cap=:~0x20000000 && %command%"
