I love this game. It's a Minecraft/Tower Defense hybrid in the best way. Something is wrong however with the way the game saves files to the steam cloud. I have now lost one game with 20+ hours of game play and now another with 60+ hours, I literally can't play it anymore because it turns my stomach to think I could play for three entire days worth of time and lose all progress at the drop of a hat. I will pine for this game but probably never play again unless they add a saved game cache.

11/10, highly addicting; requires some brainpower, but is easy to master. It is fun watching all your serf- i meant colonists work for you. You get to also fight zombies with dark-age weaponry, which is awesome. Doesn't require a NASA computer to run, and a twist to a voxel game. I would reccomend this game to somebody like me, who sometimes likes a chill game to play and likes sandbox games.

Not going to let this game go unnoticed anymore, as far as it goes, this game is amazing, the Devs are dedicated and on point to things their community wants. That's already more than most companies these days. Factory/city management simulation done really well, its honestly very peaceful and enjoyable. The threats scale with your population and the designs are limitless, your colony can starve and you have to rebuild it, making outposts and sending resources to friends in the same game. freedom to build so much and enjoy yourself. I have had this game for years, i use it to scratch and itch for a game thats not out there yet, but this game, is becoming more and more like my ideal game, building/city management/horde survival/exploration. One day it will be finished
