Fun, challenging levels, the tower build queue is an amazing idea that I hope other games use in the future.
I do feel like many levels can be beaten easily by rushing the enemy spawner, but its up to you when you do this. I just wish the game made it harder, or more punishing to go for this early on.

Not your normal “generic” Tower Defense title - I like the way it challenges you beyond the norm (won’t spoil it!!)
Was initially put off by the lack of reviews, but was encouraged by the number of updates. Glad I took the chance.
Game forces you to carefully consider your priorities. Looking forward to progressing.

Would I recommend this game? Yes! But to be honest, there are just about as many cons as there are pros, but first I will go to why I love this game so much -
Pros:
What can I say? I love each new thing added into the game. Every time the dev adds anything in, it seems to liven up my map even more. Things like smoke, water, and flags in the cities will move, and add a bit more life to something basic.
You can view your map in multiple ways, from grids to old time maps to elevation levels.

This game is way too addictive weirdly enough, there’s already so many things in the game (as of posting this it isn’t fully released) you can almost never get bored, after loading it up for the first time I played 8 hours straight of the game!

great little game, with lots of potential, a little buggy when it comes to the enemy ai and spawning but otherwise amazing. Hexagons are just perfect for star fortress fun

As Far As The Eye
This game was incredibly brutal until I discovered the Council building and the Knowledge resource, and then it became an incredibly fair and deep city-building/roguelike/4x game.
The biggest problem with the game is there isn’t a good reference for how all the mechanics work. I think it will be better once an online wiki is available.
My tips for a winning initial game:
Opening:
1. Get 40 wood and build a sawmill. Assign one of your workers to be a gatherer and gather wood. Later, when you don’t need wood, switch this worker to be a food gatherer and build a fruit hut for 80 (you can do this earlier if you get a 4th worker). You should have enough rations for this, and the carpenter/fruit gatherer jobs share the first 3 levels.

I too believe that this is a nice game if you enjoy roguelike games.
When I first saw the list of buildable buildings I was worried the game wouldnt have much depth, as there are exactly 15 buildings which can be built.
So .. I was worried I will just figure out how things work and lose interest in the game after a few days, because I found some safe winning strategy.
Luckily it was different!
The overall difficulty is quite high. After the tutorial campaign you get to play 4 tribes with increasing difficulty (you have to start with the lowest difficulty tribe). However, even that tribe took me quite some effort to win with.

Before We Leave
I have personally been enjoying this game very much! I appreciate that I don’t need to worry about war or combat, nor must I consider the monetary value of my peoples (ie. slavery). It still can be challenging, and I was pleasantly surprised by the little challenges it throws your way (ex: the gremlins!). The aesthetic is very pleasing, and it isn’t very demanding graphically. I would definitely recommend this! I’ve written out some of my experiences and some tips! ♥
- The Tutorial -
Doing the tutorial is a good idea and I do recommend it, but the tutorial will take you through pretty much the whole game, or at least deep into the mid-game – this could literally be hours and hours lol. But I would suggest stopping after you have started to explore your second planet., then proceed to your own games.

Before we leave is one the best games I have played in a long time for getting right into the game and understanding what to do. It’s not because it’s easy or simple. It’s because of the amazing job they did with the tutorial system and explaining the basics of the game.

I’ve been playing this game a lot, being getting updated regularly, for me its a good game, good zombie survival 4x strategy games.
You gotta focus a lot on managing your survivors otherwise it will be a very pain experience.
Basically your start with a small group of survivors, 6 then you gotta find a nice place to set up an encampment, collect resources, wood a lots of wood to build camp defenses, then scavanging for resources like crazy, kill a lots lots of zombie, watch your survivors you love to much gettting bitten and some of then will die, others will get amputated. That’s ok, there’s prosthetics to solve that too. Its a bit painfull to have a leg amputee, will slow down the entire group, other than that you can assign that dude for a suicidal exploring mission.

Just started. In the first few minutes I found a factory. Each time I hit next turn my group of 6 discovers/searches the building by a percentage of total coverage that equals .01.
This means I have to hit the search/next turn button a thousand times.
On the bright side.. all my group have some starter weapons and speed of 1 or 2.
Then inside the factory I found a guy who was just bitten. The message said I could amputate him (didnt say whether it was his head or some other body part, so I assumed it wasnt going to be his head.)

From Village to Empire
This is a good game if you want a turn-based, 4X strategy game without the overgrown complexity of most established games in the genre and you’re willing to put up with some rough edges.
My own taste leans more toward city development than combat. I like the way this game handles that: it creates a nice puzzle as every addition to the city has to come next to a previous addition, and most additions are restricted in where they can be placed (e.g. lumber mills have to go on forest, farms on grasslands or hills). So, you have to plan ahead to place your improvements in places that set up future improvements without stealing necessary territory from neighboring cities. And, of course, you have to plan where you place your cities so they get a good variety of terrains and access to strategic resources without bumping into each other too much.

Barebones Civ. Still an immense amount of work to be done. But encountered no bugs so far.
The biggest headache at the moment is that there are no lists, so operating 1 town is ok…for a while…But get 3 or 4 towns and try to remember everything you have built in them !!
Having said that, i love the simplicity, and believe this to be a game of great potential.
I just hope the dev sticks with it and regularly updates.
I will recommend it only because i think the creator deserves every chance :)

Great game, when you consider the stage its in! Wonderful Dev team who are always listening to ideas and issues, and quickly resolving them.

It’s a great game to play when your friends are around, though you need to find enough controllers for everybody.
But when you have found these controllers, oh boy, fun guaranteed.
Sometimes you need to explain the game a little, and for me it’s lagging a bit now and then but otherwise a really fun game.
