One of my favourite games. I wish there was a bit more cosmetic/QOL for citizens depth for more passive lategame play where I can just enjoy the vibes of a successful city, but the mechanics of the game are entirely engaging & truly rewarding. Feels like a complete game, runs pretty well for me, though I've had a few bugs but nothing game breaking. Would recommend. Graphics are nice, the designs of buildings feel wonderfully thematic, the mechanics & bits feel very convincingly crafted with care. Just be aware the game IS complete. There likely won't ever be more content than is here, but what's here is perfectly plenty.

a real pleasure to have a surviving game like we can found on Mobile, but with a real nice story a free use of all actions (no energy constraints). A very good ambiance and different side quest with enougth small styor, but quite repetitive though. Have a real pleausre of gaming with it

I'm really not sure why this game has so many negative reviews, besides the large number of DLCs. The game feels about as complete and full as Banished, which I would consider one of the best games of this genre. Granted, I have only been playing on an easier difficulty while I get used to the gameplay loop and figure out what things I need to be mindful of. I stayed up past dawn yesterday playing, and then once I woke up I went right back to it until I needed to call it a day again. I'd say that's the mark of a pretty decent game. I only encountered 1 bug in the 20 hours I've played so far, and it wasn't game-breaking; one of my specialists was out on an expedition and suddenly teleported beyond the borders of the map and I couldn't bring her home. Having only 9 specialists instead of 10 really wasn't all that different, except for the occasional annoying alert that "a specialist is ready" when it was just the broken one. Everything else functions shockingly well and I didn't notice anything breaking like other reviewers mentioned. There are a couple of control scheme things that are minorly annoying, like how most things are "left click to place, right click to cancel" EXCEPT for anything to do with specialists. It took me quite a while to get used to that, and it did cause a few bad things to happen when I wasted all of a specialist's AP from accidentally right-clicking to cancel.

no idea whats with all these negative reviews. Bought it on sale, added all the DLC. First couple of hours the game seems incredibly simple but the complexity builds quick! love it! somthing that needs a bit of actual thinking and deciding what route with research, people are going to die (the point at any game I'd usually reload because I'm a bleeding heart) but its part of the game and it works and WHY DO THE FIELDS CONTAMINATE I JUST WANMT CROPS and you can adjust the difficulty exactly to your liking and keep an eye on that world map with all the specialists and and and and and and and and

Overall great game for one that loves to rebuild a post-apocalyptic society! It gets boring towards the end-game though. I'd say replayability is quite decent.
