First off, for anyone looking to see how the game plays, keep in mind it requires a decent amount of waiting on resources to generate. For anyone into idlers, it's not necessarily bad, but just keep that in mind if you're thinking of buying. Now as far as the rest of the game, I think that It's just good enough for the current price (50% off). The current state the game is in feels more like an early access. Some people are reporting bugs here and there are still many things that could be added to make the game better. I really don't think It's developed enough for a full release, but maybe it will change if patches are made in the coming days. I'll play again if they do and re-evaluate then. TLDR: It's a decent Building/Idler game that could use some more development.

Great little game. Not very far but so far enjoying it. Space, resources, construction management...what's not to love! Well done developers!

Here's a question. As a kid, do you remember the first time you'd seen a Hamster cage? One of those clear containers and whomever also had connected rooms to it, so your Hamster could go exploring up, down, and anywhere in it? That's sort of like what Stellar Settlers is like, a game where you build in 3-D. Only without Hamsters leaving little raisins everywhere they go, and possibly eating their own young. The game is, actually, kinda meh to me. Sure, it's cool to plop buildings down and connect them with tunnels, and staffing them with NPCs, that serve to increase production or provide some sort of bonuses. You can get more NPCs periodically. You can research new rooms that provide benefits and even some have drawbacks, in that they'll provide extra of a resource at a cost of another, but it may be worth it. You ultimately research a rocket platform to build a rocket and escape the planet and onto another scenario to be unlocked. But that's about it. There's no combat, no defense. It's all dull and shallow, in my opinion. It is however cool to erect a city because no two players may arrive at the same layout, due to building rotation and tunnels to connect them. I rate the game about 6 out of 10. I'm sorry for a shoddy review. I kinda find it both lackluster and somewhat fun at the same time. I'd recommend "Let's Play...Stellar Settlers" on YouTube before buying to see if the game is for you. LIke I said, it's dull. But there is the charm of creating a "Hamster habitat" for your NPCs.

It's really nice cute game about building colony... and only about that, there are little external dangers that can threaten you. When coming in, I've expected colony sim management. Still, really well made game, simillar to all of the cozy city builders - definitly recommend if you want something cozy, and want to chill out!

Fun settlement builder with a solid underlying premise and easy to grasp game play loop. 1) Arrive on planet. 2) gather resources. 3) Build settlement. 4) Build rocket. 5) launch rocket and reach the required altitude in the time allotted to "win". 6) Return to 1 on the next location. There are some minor glitches (transport and mining drones may stop their animations after a while, but they're still working being one of them), but you can overlook it and the devs are aware and working on finding the culprit of the behavior.
