Nice art/music; clunky and restrictive
After a couple of years since the release I won't add much to what others have already written, but here it is anyway: I found the presentation (graphics and music) very nice. The soundtrack consists of 22 tracks that fit well. Since the soundtrack is available separately (not here, but exclusively on another site), and I am going to buy it. What follows is a rather long list of problems I've encountered, however I am still motivated to continue, despite the flaws. Reading the other reviews, quite a lot of players were not. The problems started right from the start in the tutorial that was already so unclear in the first mission that I had to refer to the internet to get further. This lack of clarity of why things are happening and how to achieve or prevent things is also present in the main game. I found the interface quite clunky and sometimes annoying. Fonts and symbols are sometimes so small that they are hardly decipherable. It is sometimes difficult to click on the correct building with other buildings next to it. Placing mines is quite tricky, as they can't exactly placed in a way that the map indicates etc. Finally I had to accept that there is little freedom in the way of constructing the cities. I once had four wells and maintenance buildings and my buildings were nevertheless degrading until I found out that it was because of my town having intersections. After I left the intersections out, everything was working well with one well and maintenance building. This is too erratic and opaque to me, even with the help of the program indicating which route the service personal will likely walk. Showing the number of free workers instead of the percentage would also be more useful, as well as how many workers a building needs beforehand. The existence of an autosave makes sense, since the game crashed several times during my sessions. This reminds me again that focussing more on the interface, accessibility and QA would have been beneficial.
Hilft dir das weiter?
