June 2024

Born too late to explore the earth, born too early to explore the stars, born just in time to play Songs of Syx. Like giving crack to a five year old. I have just bought the full game after almost a full day spent in the -DEMO TUTORIAL- and the damn thing is still in early access. If you even vaguely like strategy games, this is better than whatever else you are doing today, trust me.

June 2024

The "unlimited demo" is actually just the full game version or two behind the current live build. Try away!

June 2024

50 of my subjects froze to death in the streets because they weren't enough hearths to warm up. Over 20 minutes worth of progress was lost due to the resulting riots and economic setback as a result. I'm playing on the tutorial. 10/10

May 2024

Found one bug in the beta after playing for 80 hours. Reported it on Discord. Dev fixed it the next day. 10/10 indie game experience

April 2024

One part Dwarf Fortress/Rimworld, one part Factorio, add a dash of racism, bake at 5,000 population with a solid 60fps, and voila: you have one Songs of Syx. This is a gem that just keeps getting polished, I highly recommend it!
