I very much enjoy this game. The level of complexity feels manageable for someone like myself who is a fairly casual gamer. The core mechanics of this game can be learned in an afternoon, but there are plenty of different ways to play the game once the mechanics are understood. My recommendation to the game developer would be to allow some degree of customization for how difficult and frequent the raids are. I feel there should be some way to control how many events occur, and how hostile or friendly the world and environment are towards the player.

Truly a treasure. I do not normally write reviews unless the game is amazing ... or terrible. The steam review system does a poor job of allowing us to accurately gage the quality of a game. Take the mixed reviews. They are all a result of the sole developer not having the tutorial revamped at 1.0 There is a heck of a learning curve like other games it resembles. Do not come into the game expecting Dwarf Fortress, instead enter with an open mind seeking something different but deep. You can easily get a few hundred hours out of this over the life of ownership. If you like that added depth and complexity, you will love the management approach of oddrealm.

I can't get the hate. The few negative reviews on top actually motivated me to give the game another shot. Bought it years ago and wasn't really happy with it back then cause of bugs eg. the suicidal behavior of my odds, UI and much more. But now as they are finally able to drink from open water sources, can defend themselfes accordingly etc. it's more than enjoyable! Figuring out the "convoluted systems" is actually the fun part for me. Same for the graphics - the minimalistic style might not be everybodys cup of tea - but I don't mind to learn what is what at first. The only thing I really struggled with is the rooms and room management window. I had a hard time to get that I can't edit room boundaries from "room management". Sometimes it worked but sometimes not.. Until I realised the "rooms" window was still open in the background when it did. Maybe wouldn't happen if there was a cog icon in the rooms list which opens the management window and closes the other.. Or if they generally auto-close each other.. Well just be aware UI stuff can overlap and you should be fine.

i let this sit in my library because i'm not intelligent enough to understand how to play it idk if i can recommend it.... it's rather niche either you grasp it's systems immediately or you'll spend a great deal of time scratching your head before it all clicks oh well i'll give it another try sooner or later when i'm feeling bold enough putting it as positive since i'm sure it's actually a decent game it's just very hard to get into

This is a cute colony simulator. I've found it relatively user-friendly; certainly it's easy to just jump in and start exploring the mechanics. The game is a little rough around the edges, but it all fits together and functions fine. I haven't explored all the different gameplay mechanics yet. It's got a surprising amount of depth, but it's still simple enough that I can understand it as someone who can't handle Dwarf Fortress. And I like that it isn't so dark and gruesome as Rimworld.
