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.

Dec. 2023

This has the learning curve of Dungeon of the endless. Death will come in a variety of fast and really slow and gruesome ways. Like when your guys go cannibal and turn on each other. It took a while to learn the mechanics because the tutorial is still lacking, but there is a great game here. Still needs more stuff, but well worth the price to me. If you like things like Kingdom games Dungeon of the endless Terraria/Factorio (although nowhere near as deep yet, but has the potential) or just rougelite style games in general
