Very well done. Solo dev even reinvested money earned from the game by hiring a team to help him. So, the game will be added to for the foreseeable future. I played at launch, and revisiting it has shown vast improvements that are fantastic to see. The dev also is very open to feedback.

Dang this game is truly unforgiving...
First playthrough I got absolutely devastated within a few days since I wasn't quick enough to secure sources of coal and food.
Second playthrough I did a tooon better. Got all the way to the big storm but had no idea it was coming until it was too late and have been dealing with a food crisis the entire game with my 300+ population... now there is 19 hours left till the end... I have 0 food rations stockpiled currently and I need 1900+ lmfao. Btw this was also on all normal difficulties except for the weather which I put on easy this time around... and I still got screwed up.
Not often I find myself enjoying games that are this unforgiving but its pretty fun nonetheless. At least for a few more runs... however, I haven't tried any of the other campaigns yet either so yeah.

9/10
-Bought the game with all dlc for 13 bucks on sale.
-Would definitely recommend getting this game. If you are patient then you can wait for a sale and get this game for 6 bucks or 13 with all the dlc. Game went on sale every few months and it took me probably 2 years to decide to get this game while spending an hour or two every time there was a sale thinking about it. Glad I decided to get it during this sale. No regrets here.

Bro y'all need to chill out with the dang difficulty. Can't even play the game for more than an hour before some random mental breakdown that causes them kill each other or some other moronic thing. Not even plausible at this point. Not even on a high difficulty.

Fun game.. just extremely difficult to do anything other than steak by yourself. Upgrades and items are rng so you can't even count on automation items to appear when you need em. Plus some maps feel like they are purposely designed for solo to lose. Like the ones that have you go through a separate room to get to the kitchen. Takes way too much time to get from the tables back to the kitchen.
TLDR: Its fun as a solo but more designed for co-op with friends

Wonderful game. Very addicting. Normally this studio does not update their games since they release a new one every month, but they have said they plan to add more content to this game since it was so popular. I can't wait. Couldn't stop playing once I started until I 100% everything in the game.
-Finished game on 2nd run - At moon 69 right now (nice) ((could have finished it a gooood bit earlier but I felt like getting everything unlocked first))
-At least 6-7 hours of gameplay currently --- which is well worth the price... I normally do a dollar an hour of
gameplay.
-I did not find any bugs -- very polished
-More content to come

Loving it so far. (a little rant through here... scroll to where it says 8/10 if you want the review part)
------
Only thing I find annoying is the Aztec's special unit.
It is a horse archer than can attack my troops without taking any damage and then after they attack be allowed to move, making it so that they can not be easily attacked.
Now that wouldn't be so bad if they weren't sending literally 20 units of these to seige my cities... oh yeah btw they can shoot through stone walls? and still deal about 28 damage or so. I don't understand that concept too well.
Anyways... it was pretty rough in the beginning since I had no counter to these but once I go to the pikeman and crossbows I've been able to counter them fairly well. Now I have my own even more op troup that basically does the same thing they do but with even more range lmao. It is a war elephant with a crossbow on top. Range of 4 and I think like 6 or 8 movement and is able to move after attacking. These Aztecs are no match anymore, considering every era they keep evolving they culture instead of choosing a new one so yeah... I'm done with my rant now. Everything else about this game is really well done.

8/10
--Positives--
-Good visuals
-Good concept of changing cultures / combining civilizations
-Love how you have to be careful with how many cities you have as there is a limit and an increasing penalty for going over the limit.
-Love the idea of territories and being able to connect them to a city to expand its area of control
-Love that you can assimilate independent people into your empire
-I like how the civic system is done
-There is plenty more I like but I'll move on to some negatives now

--Negatives--
-Don't know if it is just me but its kinda slow to load the game's menu and to close it. Half the time when I exit the game after playing it takes up to a few minutes or ends up making me click on it which causes a pop up window of the game not responding asking if I want force it to end or wait for it.

-There a not too many bugs, but there are some. Sometimes whenever I'm in a battle it will take around 3 minutes for them to attack. Like they queue up their attack and it just sits there making me wait and then when it does finally work it doesn't show the animation and just teleports troops to where they were moved and the such.

-War support is good in most ways but it is kinda weird in gaining and losing in battles. No matter how big your army or your enemy's army is you always gain or lose 8 support. Like if I have 1 unit and it is attacked by 5 horse archers I still lose 8 support even though it was barely even a battle. I mean if anything the people should be ticked off that our troops were attacked when we are at peace and outnumbered so severely... right?

All right that's the end of my review.
8/10

Absolutely love this game.
Has basically all the elements I love in a game.
-Building up a base
-upgrading tools and weapons
-bosses
-tower defense kinda thing
-exploration
-plenty of classes
-a dedicated team that will continue to update the game for a long time (most likely)
I love the concept. I can't wait to see how each season will bring new content and life to this game.

9.5/10

-Not really any game breaking bugs
-Only bug that bothers me right now is in multiplayer matches when your transferring your inventory to the chest it glitches and takes a while to put each item into the chest.
-You won't get bored of this game. (as long as this is the style you like)
-You can play by yourself or with up to 10 people and it even scales based on the number of people so its never too easy or too hard.
-Amazing pricing for this game. Honestly, the game has only been out for 3 days and I'd say I've nearly gotten my moneys worth already. I typically go with a dollar an hour of gameplay, and I'm already at ~21 hours.
-Plenty of other things that I could go on and on about, but I'll stop here. I highly recommend this game if this seems interesting to you.

As it is right now it's horribly unbalanced.
Check back in a year or two and maybe they'll figure something out.

pew pew pew
AAAAAAAAAAAAA
clunk chick clunk brrrrechhh

Yeah its pretty good.
Was nothing like what they promised at release but as they updated it has gotten better. Not sure if its to the point of what they promised at release but I'd say its worth the money.
However...
Bugs...
Bugs...
And..
some more bugs...
There are a decent amount of bugs that I find annoying but nothing totally game-breaking... I think?
Like there are some glitches in terrain when mining with the multi-tool I've noticed.
Also other bugs that I can't recall.. I just remember them being annoying at the time.
Btw here's a tip I just figured out a little bit ago randomly that is probably commonly known lUl
Trade between space stations.. By that I mean buy stuff in a good mining economy and sell in a good manufacturing economy or whatever. like those crystals worth hundreds of thousands of $$. I doubled my money from 2mil to 4mil just by one run. So the more you buy the more you make.
Overall review...
