It is better to die for the Emperor than live for yourself.

Sadly can't recommend this game. I genuinely tried and tried to enjoy the game, but it just felt flat after the initial tutorial battle. The tutorial battle was just all kinds of chaos, a good kind. Then you get into your first few rounds of walking around finding loot, extracting and the extraction gets enemies to your 'base'.

This battle just didn't feel.. Great. It was just shoot a little and you're good to go. Getting any more bits for your base seems to also take quite a bit of time, which wouldn't be an issue if the gameplay loop was enticing enough which it sadly isn't.

I'd love to revisit this game at a later date if this improves, but it just needs a good bit of work on the core gameplay loop to make it feel better. Until then I have to agree with the rest of the reviews, it just isn't there yet

Initially I thought this was not gonna be my game, it seemed too weird and too whacky.

OH BOI! Did I not foresee the absolute joy this game gives.

Survival, base building, pet collection, automation, you name it! It's got it! Base defending and casual maintaining of happy relationships with your Pals while watching your friend get a 'Censored' screen as you hear a pal being butchered. It's great fun!

I'm saying, yes. It needs more patches and updates, but I am giving it a solid yes for those who like RTS vs FPS.

Main gripe is just QoL features that I want to see, just general feedback given. It's great tho! Loving it. Amazing experience on the Humans vs Aliens. First game? 2 hours 10 minutes, was CRAZY!!! Insane moments.

Surprising amount of depth to the game, more so than I expected from an EA game. Loving the concept and gameplay! Best seen as a lovely colony simulator with RPG elements to allow you to control your respective king/queen. Want to recruit more people? Build a tavern and they'll naturally want to join you from experiencing your city/town. Want a more hands-on approach? Speak to individuals and see if your mindsets align and then request them to join you. It's honestly, amazing!

Felt bad when I lost my first pawn as I had built up a fair amount of relations from my perspective where the loss became meaningful, not only did I loose a pawn, he was my best brawler D:

Community is equally lovely, so are the developers involved. <3

Overall, I'm giving it a solid 8/10, purely as communications has been brilliant, modding capabilities in this game is crazy on how fairly easy it is to start modding your own ideas into the game.

Only thing I got is that Combat could do with some improvement on the AI side of things, but besides that all good to me

Short version.
109.7 hours in.. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

10/10 if it were not for the bugs.
6/10 with the bugs.

Hold off for a few more patches and then come back. Wishlist this for sure, great potential!



Long version.
Having played this for 109.7 hours now, I can say that I have a decent understanding of what issue(s) and positives the game overall has. I personally am already going to say that I love the game, I am arguably addicted to the constant mining, making more coin on the market and attempting to reach new ships. While currently there's a tad of a content drought towards the more end-game area, as we are awaiting the Capital ship update, there is still plenty to be done in the game.

A fair few reviews seem to point that the developers aren't actively working on resolving the issue(s) at hand. While I can only speak of my current experience when writing the review, they have been providing hotfixes from launch day.

My main concern are the bugs, once the bugs are resolved, or at least dealt with for the majority of them I can recommend it to be bought outright. For now my recommendation is definitely wishlist this game, it has such great potential and is a great time already. (As I've already got 110 hours xD)

I was gifted this game, so bear that in mind with this review.
This review will receive further updates the longer I play this game.

Quick review:
So far so good, enjoying it considering I got it for 1 day and already am at 10.1 hours playtime. Which I assume will go up quickly.

Bosses (5/5) = Nice, good mechanics (Only done first boss thus far)
Combat (5/5) = Decent, pretty solid
Building (4/5) = Nice
Artstyle (4/5) = Alright? (Explained down below)

Solo-play? I haven't played solo, but I can see solo-play might be tricky and not as fun.

Score (19/20) 95% (THUS FAR)


More details!

Artstyle, oh my my.. The art style.
So initially, I was confused and weirded out by the artstyle seeing the screenshots. However, in the game it does feel/seem different than what is shown on Steam. I enjoy the pixel artstyle it is very enjoyable in a 3D-setting, weirdly so.
BUT! This is also where my confusion is as it feels like two styles are being mixed. A low-poly and Pixel-art style being mixed together makes me feel uncomfortable at times, it doesn't ruin the gameplay by all means as you quickly forget when playing. But an example is the Helmet that seems more shiney and smooth and low-poly textures, versus the chestpiece which is a clear pixelart style. I guess that is my only 'complaint' if you can call that thus far.

Overall, I tend to price games in the "survival" genre on a $->hour ratio. I.e if the game costs $20, I expect around 20+- hours at least of gametime, as well.. That rule has served me well thus far. Considering I'm at day 1 of playing the game and already at 10.1 hours, that would mean I am heading to the "I can recommend the game" area.


SO! If you're still uncertain, it is a fun game, but I reckon best played with friends as the devs recommended.

Kenshi, the game where you are absolutely nothing, a worthless grain of sand amongst a sea of sand. Beware that you must work your way through blood sweat and tears to make a name for your humble character or group.

10/10 Worth it

What else can I say but.. Stellaris? 10/10

10/10 Can recommend

Developer actively take in community feedback, with the recent (relatively recent) release of the DLC, I didn't expect much change from when I had played prior, but holy smokes they added so many things that were tedious before, I love it even more now and I am eager to see what else they'll add!

437 hours and counting, so I deffo got my money's worth!
