Opening: Queen is running away from her "old kingdom" where she... knowing how the game goes, ran out of money and the peasants revolted... From the first animation, the spy-master leaves, cause he is sick of your crap and you are officially out of money... but you can have him run errands again, when you have more money! BUT FRET NOT! WE CAN DO IT (again, but this time with more trusted and well paid guards)! Build your new empire from "ground" up... using the said ground... Or you can dig yourself to "hell"... With greedy peasant rats who are trying to swindle and pocket money out of the treasury at any opportunity! I mean... 10 gold for carrying one rock to the location?! WHAT?! Want to have a corrupt and lazy police-rat to beat your subject and put them in jail? Yes you can! Dissident clown that burns down half of our town before you realize there is no "invasion" and the enemy is within? Yep, also possible! Want to have 100% communism-style taxes with some handouts for your rats? Yep, can try that too... although probably not for long or use this handy pro-tip: Police rats do not become dissidents (because they get a cut from the queen) and can "police" all the time. Create new kingdom just the way you like it - from sticks and dirt, cause all other crafting materials are terribly expensive... and then realize you actually NEED dirt and be forced to buy it from your just-as-greedy neighbors! Or convert structures to wood by deforesting the map, or stone by digging down towards the unfriendly center of the earth... Explore new lands... and exploit their resources! FOR PROFIT! Recruit new rat subjects! And then subjugate and rob them... Also for profit! Meet your neighbors and then swindle them for money before they realize what is going on and send invasion parties... This is my understanding and I am sticking with it! 100 out of 10. Can't recommend enough! P.S. My only question so far is... So I've dug deep enough to find hell... What's below?

This game fulfills a Base Defense/Action/Building/RNG combination that I've been looking for in a game for a LONG time. Great job devs!

This game is quite good, for a variety of reasons. At a base level, it's a base building / colony sim game, like Dwarf Fortress and everything inspired by it (Rimworld, etc). If you know how those games tend to function, you're already in a good starting point. What is particularly interesting about this game, is that you control a SINGLE unit, and you have presence in the world. This causes several interesting twists on the formula, but a key aspect that is quite nice is that when shit is fucked: you can go in and take care of it yourself. You can go fight off enemies, mine out paths, build things, gather supplies, transport items, and a whole slew of other actions. If you've ever played a standard colony sim, and had an absolute disaster that you were left to watch unfold, this can be a wonderful alternative. As a simple example: it's winter, you fucked up, grain is running low, your citizens are starving, so you get your royal behind out there and start hunting rabbits to keep your people alive through the winter. In many ways, it helps better tutorialize the game mechanics and provide a difficulty cushion, which makes it easier to introduce the game. Additionally, it just helps with emotional investment to have you have a functioning avatar in the world. Another big aspect of the game is the economy. In Dwarf Fortress, you have to get to end-game before those systems kick in. In Ratopia, you start off dealing with the economy from day 1. It's a neat set of mechanics, and provides more structure around something that is normally left 'implicit' in many colony sim games. You're always going to have low-value citizens and high-value citizens in your colony sim game, but Ratopia makes it a more formal part of the game design, and gives you goals and incentive structures around it. In general, the game is quite well-designed, which brings me to perhaps the most important part of the game: the developers know what they're doing. You can see this in the developer diary postings, where they talk about things they tried, things that sucked, what was wrong, how they tried to fix them, why that made it worse, what they learned, and how they eventually solved it. It's a clear indication of good design habits, where they don't trust their own vision, they instead trust results. Game design is hard, they've messed up some features, but they've fixed them, and they have the kind of attitudes you need to have to maintain and grow a game for the long term. So, I'd pick this up if like colony sims in general, and I'd especially pick it up if you wished you could have a more physical presence in your colony. I personally think of it as Dwarf Fortress / RimWorld meets Terraria / Starbound, where it's a mix of colony sim and a mix of avatar-based exploration, that scratches both itches in a nice happy medium point.

The game is pretty amazing. Didn't play for about 2 months and came back to a shit ton of new items/buildings/features The devs are taking really good care of the game and it's roadmap Oxygen not included but better for my ADHD Rats, rats, we're the rats We prey at night, we stalk at night, we're the rats [King Rat] I'm the giant rat that makes all of the rules [All Rats] Let's see what kind of trouble we can get ourselves into

Jan. 2024

Could be the best colony sim survival/ city builder ever. It's a lot of fun, but for a casual player there's a lot to manage and currently the random generation of your starting area is frustrating. It's still worth it to play in custom difficulty. I feel the issues will all be fixed by launch. Just be aware if you have any sort of chronic pain condition or arthritis or carpal tunnel there is a LOT of holding the mouse button down in this and it will trigger those. Hoping the devs will automate things more by making it a single click in the future.
