Nov. 2024

Quite a nice little colony builder game with a bit of a twist to it. Feels good to set up little production chains and explore the weird flora and fauna that's currently in the game. Has a great crunchy pixel look that you can't really find elsewhere. Future updates seem promising too, and I boot it up for a few hours every time there is one -- definitely more hours than what steam shows. Would recommend if you are fine with it not being finished yet, and it isn't particularly expensive.

Oct. 2024

I have over 300 hours in this little abandoned game called Starship Theory. This could be a sequel, honestly. Starmancer seriously scratches my itch for more of this kind of base building sim. It's quite good but has a steep learning curve. Expect to die a few times or more until you learn the mechanics. There are still lots of bugs and crashes, but it is early access.

July 2024

Ok hear me out, let the dev cook. Would have been all too easy to abandon the game after the majority of the player base left, but the dev seems to be carrying on with releasing new mechanics and stuff. The base game is really solid and the late game becomes meta with unlocking more cosmetics and new ways to optimise the game flow like building the perfect house in craft of mine. The only thing it needs is more sauce and ways in how you construct the house, plus how the world interacts with it.

July 2024

Review written in haste because I feel this game has been boned in Steam somehow and it deserves help. Good writing, cute, funny good graphics Excellent tutorial clear, non pixelated ui qol, can pick up colonists (like Dungeon Keeper), tell them what to do (unlike every other one of these damn games), helpful tooltips Something seems fishy about the Steam "Mixed" review score. Look for yourself. Cheats, in-depth challenge customization, newbie hints, it's almost like they WANT you to enjoy playing this. IMO: ignore the top 2 negative reviews.

March 2024

This game is being developed by a very small team, and sounds like a labor of love for dwarf fortress inspired games. I really love the bones of this game, there are a bunch of great ideas and I have enjoyed coming back to it every few months to see what updates were made and try a new save. Wishing the best of luck to these Dev's and hope they continue to deliver!
