Mild recommend, with caveats. TLDR: unbalanced and bad UI, but potentially enjoyable at its core. The game is currently $2.99. If you can grab it for that, it's worth a few hours. Don't pay full price because it's not a finished game and you can certainly tell. For 2.99 you'd be getting a semi-competent resource management game with colony mechanics. Not so much a colony or city builder, in the sense that you never see any people-- your workers are just units, just another resource. If you approach it from there, there's actually a quite a lot of things to build and work towards. Unfortunately it's been left in a pretty unbalanced state. There are several bottlenecks in both research and producing the rarest resources. There's a very extensive food/cooking system that's interesting but it's literally impossible to take advantage of high-end recipes, as they rely on farms, which inexplicably consume research points on an ongoing basis-- but then research is also capped (by 'innovation points,' which aren't explained and idk how to get more)... so you can't actually produce enough to keep all the farms going. Therefore you can't have all complex food products on your menu, and thus cannot get the highest morale boost, which you need because morale caps your overall city level, which in turn acts as a hard population cap. A big problem if you lack morale or need more workers. So, very convoluted, as is the UI. Actually the UI is horrendous- example: Instead of clicking a building and plopping it down, you must click it, open a new palette of individual buildings, and then drag a blueprint onto the place you want it built. What? To even find certain buildings took a long time. Just very convoluted. however. I have to admit that I did have some fun, sorta-kinda; I would have gone for the late game stuff if not for how grindy the end goals are. That stuff is so far out of balance that my last couple hours was just fast forwarding waiting for a few key resources. To actually complete everything would have taken hours and hours of this. So I gave up, but really didn't expect to make it as far as I did, so I guess I have to give it thumbs up? but barely. Remember what I said though, only on sale.
