Jan. 2025

This game is the ultimate time sink. At first it seems silly and simple, after all its only a bunch of 1m blocks. Like Minecraft! Oh dear how wrong that initial impression is. You start with the tutorials, which have certainly gotten better over the years. They are helpful, but leave you wanting more. So you turn to the internet. Reddit is helpful, then you find the thousands of hours of Youtube videos and realize how deep the rabbit hole goes. After binging about a days worth of online videos, you get back on the game and try to build something. You realize it doesn't work despite doing what you saw in the video. You go back to the video, and see that it was from 2021. Its all outdated. The devs ARE active. This game is receiving constant updates and fixes. It has been getting those fixes constantly for YEARS, and the devs have given no indication of slowing down or stopping. In 2024 alone they introduced two new weapons systems, a ton of new blocks, fixed a bunch of bugs, updated nearly every campaign ship and tank, and changed a handful of game mechanics for the better. Great devs. Okay, you found a tutorial from 2024, watch it, and jump back in game. You want to create a small boat. Yay! You spend what feels like days creating the most intricate tool of insurgency war ever devised by a sole rambot. You figure this piece of engineering excellence can take over the world. You jump straight into a campaign run, easy mode of course, lets not too ahead of ourselves. You realize you have no idea how to run a campaign, so you go watch a borderwise video on it. Come back, set up a supply line and make your first boat from earlier. An enemy! Its a tiny little Deep Water Guard craft. Essentially a little wooden raft with a couple missiles. You obliterate it with ease. See, you were right. This game isn't as hard as people say. Oh look, another enemy! A duster? Sounds easy. Wait, its a plane. You forgot any AA and your missiles can't turn enough. You Quickly slap on a simple weapon and get a lucky hit. Woah, that was close. Uh oh, another enemy. He's invading! The audacity! Its a Wanda? Fairly Odd name. Lets fight, bring it on! Wait, that's a big shell. OH NO! He one shot me? WTF? You rage quit. Twp days later you come back and start building a battleship, with a Lathrix video playing in the background. Yeah, this game is great. Huge learning curves and opportunities. I have over 1,100 hours as of this review, and have much to learn. As the great psychedelic frog put it, the game has a learning curve "like a cliff, on fire, and covered in bears." Beware that warning, and the sinkhole that is this game and its numerous overlapping mechanics. Yes, I absolutely adore and recommend this game to anyone that likes building games of any sort. Embrace the first 5-10 hours of confusion and learning suck. It gets better, then worse, then it becomes like drugs. After a hundred hours or so, you discover decorations and mimics, then time begins to delete itself. Get this game. It good.

If you hear anyone saying the camera and/or driving is really bad, that's because the devs recently put out an update where they changed a lot of the controls for moving the camera and driving your ships. If you haven't played this game prior to that update, it won't be a problem for you.

Dec. 2024

I personally really enjoy the game but it is not for everyone. Let's start with the bad parts. The ui is horrid, it can get a wee bit janky at times, the learning curve is so absurd it may as well be concave, and the the in game tutorials are less than useless. But if you're willing to put up with all of this and learn how to play the game, you will find no other game like it in how much freedom it gives you in making your builds. Want to to build a boat? a plane? a mech? a walking skyscraper? an anatomically correct skeleton with laser eyes? well in this game you can do all this and more. If you're willing to put in 200 hours learning the very basics, and another 1000+ hours learning the rest.

100 hours in this game. I finally can make a simple boat which doesn't get obliterated in a second. 10 learning curves out of 10 flying squirrels

Nov. 2024

didn't know i needed a fucking degree in engineering and naval architecture just to build a tiny sail boat. only to be destroyed by literal sci fi spaceships
