This game is a real gem for fans of roguelikes. I'd describe it as a roguelike 3x game. Like a mix of Frostpunk and Civ 6. Like all great games in this genre, there is a ramping effect that that you need to stay ahead of. You need to make calculated short term tactical decisions to take advantage of - or mitigate - the effects of randomness. There are multiple viable strategies to guide your short-term decisions. I know I'm just describing what a roguelike is at this point, but that is what I like in games and this game delivers it well. There is no combat in this game. The UI is intuitive and well executed, you have very easy access to all relevant information. It's a joy to navigate. It has some charming art although it's static/paintings. Music is good too. Buy this game if you like: - FTL - Slay the Spire - Balatro - Frostpunk - Civ 6 - Against the Storm Note that there is very limited metaprogression, but personally I don't think metaprogression is particulary important or interesting. I would recommend jumping multiple difficulties ahead after the first playthrough, since you don't get a feel for what the game is like on the lower difficulties, since you win by getting enough points from doing random things before pressure gets too high.

The game is the right level of challenging and one of the best resource management games I've played recently.

I gave this little game 67.5 hours of my life so far. And that's without DLC's. If you like resource management, and the theme, buy it.

Buy. This. Game. I've recommended this game to people in person, and I can honestly say it is one of my favourite games.. These are game developers worth supporting, IMO of course, and its cost is low compared to the amount of joy (and at times, frustration) I've gotten from playing it. You can learn much from playing this game. You build intuition through an iterative process where yes, some starts are doomed to fail and it isn't worth seeing it to its end, but other times the randomness surprises you and you're flying by the seat of your pants going "how the ♥♥♥♥ did I pull this off?" The feel of this game is to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ point: tame Mars or fail. You'll never have enough information to make the best decision, randomness dictates many of the possibilities, your trajectory changes constantly, and you must take on many different and simultaneous priorities/goals in the hopes that they'll succeed. Something I'd like to say specifically about this game that not many reviewers have touched on: you're given several leaders to chose from throughout each scenario where each leader has their own extraordinary background, and what's really cool is how they've brought true diversity of human excellence to lead this ambitious mission. I've never mastered a game, nor platinumed, but I did both for this game having achieved the highest award for each scenario (mastery level 430). The happiness I've felt completing this game is one of the best gaming experiences in my life. Thank you for reading.

Early levels are just hard enough to keep you interested, but difficulty goes up very fast in mid-levels. The challenge is more than a bit adictive. Highly reccomend joining the community threads for thoughtful tips.
