Very good indie game. Almost no bugs. Takes 25 - 40 hours to build a fully developed city Pro: - fun gameplay, cool thematic buildings - survial elements are not too harsh. - fast paced but not hectic (if compared games like Manor Lords) - unique experience as the cliff setting offers innovative solutions to typical city builder (survival) challenges such as certain kinds of buidlings can also built on the side of the cliffs and below them on the uninhabitable ground to safe space on top. A core part of the game is to be economical with the limited building space - nice progression as the game is not limited to only the cliffs. You basically try to reestablish the humanity on planet earth and the game guides with you with little quests through it and step by step unlocks new areas and building types. You can argue though that more quests would have improved the experience as there is the danger that you rush through them very fast if you know what you are doing - game is actually difficult and you can end up in virtually unwinnable situations. The game is never unfair though - runs at 40 fps in a fully developed city with max drones and 12000 inhabitants on 7x Speed on an 13500 CPU - nice selection of cliffs for different gameplay challenges - tutorial is seamlessly integrated into the main quest and actually manages to explain you the basics of the game without being a nuisance Con: - drone task prioritization is sometimes just stupid and you have to use the underground tunnel delivery system from a certain size on and plan ahead with your building placement to make the drone logistics work. The problem is that you can't make buildings produce a certain amount of resources before it can get picked up but the drones will rush there immiediately once a resource has been produced - cliff generation should be more user-friendly. Hiding soil fertility, uranium and matter deposit efficiency behing a tech makes you quit the game if you get the wrong values - no overall production stats, only per cliff - production stats not always reliable

It absolutely ravages through your pc with performance issues at times but beside that and some balance issues, it's a good game. It's not breaking any new grounds with gameplay mechanics. It's a city builder in its core with a pretty cool world built around it. You're limited to building on cliffs and the more time goes by the more you unlock. Things like building on the side of the cliffs or below it. Really makes you plan ahead on how your cliff will look like as you can't really pick up a building to place it somewhere else. Now I do agree it's somewhat soulless when there aren't people exactly moving about since bulding streets are shockingly expensive and take up valuable space. Still do recomend it mostly for the fact the game is dirt cheap for the content and the developer(s) have been updating this game every once in a while with cool new content or bug fixes.

After 5 years and 500 hours, I finally feel compelled to review this game. Excellent. Cliff Empire is a unique and compelling mix of resource management, logistics, and base building. It is not perfectly balanced in every aspect, and success often depends on specific build sequences, but the experience is consistently rewarding. The visual styling, soundtrack, and overall artistic composition are stunning. It feels like retro-futurism imagined from a future years past, and I love it. If you enjoy city-builders and resource management, this game deserves a place in your collection.
