    From a visual standpoint, I love the deep hues of all the colors in this game. It's a beautiful game. It may seem superficial, but I've slowly come to realize how much something "simple" like this can impact my enjoyment of a game.

    Tip from my playthroughs never take an early needs building like market ect. You generally wanna chose those based on what resources you have on hand. Early workshop with starting prcessed mats is op however, missed opportunity lol. Part of playing though you learn as you go.

    I really liked playing Icuras for the same reason as this. It's got all the elements of a survival game, with base building but the mission scales are really small, and you can beat a planet in a few hours if you wanted to or a month, your choice. But you always get that fun, building a base from scratch expirience but every time you get a lot better at it

  • @dragoneye6229
    @dragoneye6229 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Holy crap that was cool. I'm definitely grabbing this one! It tackles my main problem with city builders by having the game end at the right moment. Not to mention the mechanics it takes from other games like Frost Punk and Kingdoms Reborn are made to fit the setting and playstyle. Love how the devs can make a game can do a core mechanic better then the game it comes from.

    Bought this game first time you showed it and did a full playthrough. The game IS alot of fun, however the general difficulty is pretty low.
    Throughout the entire playthrough (50-60 maps or so) I did not fail a single one.
    I hope they added on the difficulty since last time I played, because these games only have longevity if it keeps challenging you.
