11/10, highly addicting; requires some brainpower, but is easy to master. It is fun watching all your serf- i meant colonists work for you. You get to also fight zombies with dark-age weaponry, which is awesome. Doesn't require a NASA computer to run, and a twist to a voxel game. I would reccomend this game to somebody like me, who sometimes likes a chill game to play and likes sandbox games.

Not going to let this game go unnoticed anymore, as far as it goes, this game is amazing, the Devs are dedicated and on point to things their community wants. That's already more than most companies these days. Factory/city management simulation done really well, its honestly very peaceful and enjoyable. The threats scale with your population and the designs are limitless, your colony can starve and you have to rebuild it, making outposts and sending resources to friends in the same game. freedom to build so much and enjoy yourself. I have had this game for years, i use it to scratch and itch for a game thats not out there yet, but this game, is becoming more and more like my ideal game, building/city management/horde survival/exploration. One day it will be finished

Colony has a small team with big dreams and great dedication. This game has received consistent updates from a 2 person team since I purchased. Each update has been a delight full of updated mechanics and sometimes new visuals. I find that Minecraft bores me after a while because I enjoy staying in base however with colony survival - staying in base is the point! Having to defend against enemies while also building a functional base that builds the things I need and want is a delightful yet laid back game experience that evokes the same feels as minecraft and a little bit of tower defense games. Plus the blocky graphics for the different jobs are delightfully cozy and cute! I really hope they keep with this aesthetic because I just love looking over at my blocky wheat fields! Kudos to this team - I really hope they can continue adding to this game for a long time, but if they don't - I've gotten far more hours out of this game than many other games with far more features!! Honestly just watching the colonists get out of bed each morning and get to work is fun and satisfying!! So THANK YOU developers - I wish you the best and I will continue to build my colonies!

If you like blocky building games you have to at least try Colony Survival. It is unique in that you can't really craft much, but you hire colonists to gather materials and do the majority of the crafting. It's a game about balancing production versus security because as your colony grows, so does the threat level from zombies, mostly at night. You spend alot of time managing your colony, but it's not a typical management type of game. You are in the colony and you decide what to build and where to place every block just like you would in minecraft. The game is very well done despite being made by a very small dev team. It's been in EA a long time and that might turn some people off, but they are still very active and updating the game fairly often. Almost every Friday the devs release a blog detailing what they are currently working on or want to do for the future of the game. I do have issue with the current progression. I get they want us to have to travel outside our colonies for some resources, but there isn't much in the way of different biomes in the game and the maps are fairly small compared to minecraft or creativerse. Having to find tin under the snow caps in mountains or having to find zinc under a mammoth tree is ok for single player, but try joining a popular multiplayer server and you will be buying tin and zinc in the marketplace because the places you can get tin or zinc are very limited, which in my opinion defeats the purpose of having us travel outside our colonies. It just feels forced and not a natural part of the progression. I would like to see tin and zinc put back in the iron layer so we could mine it underground in our own colonies. Or make it go even deeper, I don't care. If the game can't be played in full in a multiplayer server, then there is a flaw in the progression, IMHO. That said, I love the game. It is alot of fun to find a good spot on the map to build your colony and then figure out how to make it grow. The maps are very scenic. The latest update to the way the water looks is a huge step up. It looked terrible for so long. It is really nice now.
