Dec. 2024

I have played this game several times, not 10 hours. The first time was the Beta with a lot of bugs, but there is no blame because it was a Beta. Now, the game has been released for a few months. I don't know if the game has some difficult mechanics or if I'm just unlucky. I have experienced the World map with 3 Snow Maps in a row that can't grow crops—3 maps! When I saw the first map, I already "prepared" a ton of food because I had played a few times in the past, so I knew I needed Diamonds and Titanium. I decided to choose that path, but unbelievably, there were 2 paths after the first Snow Map that "forced" me to go through because there was no other way forward. I lost at the very end of the third map with 150 Titanium and 300 Diamonds stockpiled. I could not survive with 12 Iron Grow tiles and 24 Normal Grow tiles. I also discovered a bug: if you disable all or a few Basic Raw Food items, the Golems will stop working even if I force them. I almost made it through, but I couldn't. If there were no bug, I could disable all Raw Food and wait for the Canned Food, which helps with 80 hunger instead of dumping 40 hunger. I would just wait a bit and let the Canned Factory finish the job. Developer, please fix this bug. I decided to rate the game poorly at first, but I really, really like the mechanics of the game, so... I hope you can understand this message!

I am very much enjoying this game. However, I have one complaint. It's very not obvious that I can go backwards. I was rushing headfirst into the most dangerous area because I didn't know what I was doing. And that got me killed several times and I did not know how to fix it until I figured out that I could just go backwards.

Fun game, but it's nearly a negative review for me because of the storage system. You constantly run low on storage space. I don't enjoy the storage simulator aspect of this game. Resource gathering and storage is a key component to the gameplay.

A cool idea, but incredibly flawed. at the moment, you stock up on a huge supply of balistas and some trebuchettes and on the 2nd journey you get absolutely nuked. The problem is that monsters spawn in huge swarms, which means if ANY of the swarm makes it near you your buildings are getting hit so hard everything dies instantly. This seems harsh, but could be countered with an abundance of offense, but instead your weapons fire too early and fully miss everything, then fail to restock before getting destroyed. I like the balance of some challenge. I don't have any interest in a game that punishes me before I've really played with any depth. The game also lacks interesting choices early. you just mine stuff and build weapons. needs more interesting supply chain. The idea shows alot of promise! I want to see where it goes!

it's a neat game! i played through the demo and beat that after 7 hours, then bought the full game and am positively surprised by simply how much better it is! you can play the game at your own pace, or be chased by a storm if you want. the building system is neat, the AI actually good, lots of systems and things to do! if you like rimworld, craft the world, games like that, but want a nomadic playstyle, this is for you! simply stripmining an area then moving on is simply satisfying, and once you figure out that you can build SIDEWAYS (if your material is strong enough) you basically start to snowball in a satisfying way. the artstyle is absolutely adorable, and it's nice to just watch your golems run around do stuff at 3x speed! only downside is that it's very obvious that the devs aren't native english speakers. for example, "growth rate" does NOT refer to the rate of growth, but rather the progress of the plant. i'd suggest that the dev combs through their translation again to clean some things up
