The 'Steam' algorithm suggest's games, to me. I do not even play, or like the suggestions. I often find myself clicking and pointing, to whatever. This game, is a 'Gem' I found. I had too do a manual search, of pointing and clicking. This game has been out, for years. My lack, of my knowledge! Steam store really needs, to make, an overhaul. I didn't even wait, for it to go on sale. I bought it outright! I saw Gamer's, on YouTube play it and was impressed. This is a very different game and has a lot hours, of fun.

My bread and butter are survival/base building games and I have a particular fondness for tribal/community builder focused ones so I was very excited to see this game. Pros: - Not a unique concept but a very fun twist and what it does it does well - Pretty easy to pick up - Task Management is very rim-world reminiscent and the AI is actually pretty decent - Probably one of the better takes I've seen on more of a tribal aspect but still trying to find the secret sauce that makes this one stand out. I will say again its pretty comprehensive for early game compared to other similar titles I've seen and can easily put in 50 hours of experimenting. Cons: -Difficulty level can increase rapidly. I get making it challenging but getting some of the later tech requires specific requirements like a certain amount of intelligence and skill in that branch and its nearly impossible to get to that level with someone before they die of fighting or old age towards the end of the tech tree. Mid Game 50 raiders plus a giant ape showed up to attack my settlement and I had to get creative on how to tackle them without losing half my people. Current game Im in I took a break because I had a raiding party of 90 show up against my village that could barely field 30 reasonable defenders - Plague happens quickly after attacks from enemies - which can be really annoying with these 80+ bodies that pile up and take forever to burn through. I've also noticed the enemy can break but never retreats so that oculd be a good option to help cut down on the bodie clean up afterwards - Old age hits in the 50s which isn't bad but does feel like it can happen pretty quickly. Great time sink and lots of fun to be had, but definitely areas for improvement and opportunity as is normal in EA

I'm addicted to this game even though its early access. I haven't found any problems yet but that might partly be because my computer is still quite good. I'm still learning the best ways to play this as I don't like playing tutorials and I'm having a lot of fun with it since I learned how to stop my villagers starving to death. The dev is active on here and we're expecting another update when its ready. People need to be patient :) I'm looking forward to seeing this game develop more but I'm more than happy to keep playing it as it is. My housework can wait.

The game is very well thought through in regards to mechanics and the developer is actively listening to feedback (eg I really love how much the UI has improved over the time). If you want an adorable, relaxing, simulation game to always come back to, this game is it!
