Description

The Cerulean Vale DLC is included in this version.



Build a new home for humanity with Aven Colony.

Discover Aven Prime - an alien planet of deserts, tundras, and jungles light years from earth. Aven Colony puts you in charge of humanity's first extrasolar settlement, where you build and expand your small colonies into massive, sprawling cities while dealing with the challenges faced when settling on a new world.

Build your colony's infrastructure, look after the well-being of your citizens, manage your resources, and guide your colony to prosperity against the backdrop of the harsh and often dangerous realities of the exotic world of Aven Prime.

KEY FEATURES:


COLONIZE AN ALIEN WORLD: Build a new home for humanity on a world with a low-oxygen atmosphere, extreme electrical storms, shard storms, dust devils, deadly toxic gas eruptions from geothermal vents, and days so long they have their own seasons. Explore a variety of biomes, from the lush wetlands environment to the much less habitable desert and arctic.


MEET THE LOCALS: Encounter a variety of alien life forms, including giant sandworms, deadly plague spores, and a vicious fungal infection known as “The Creep.”


SUPERVISE YOUR COLONISTS: Settling a new world can be stressful. As a new Colony Governor, you’ll need to work overtime to help your colonists deal with their new environment. Using the 12 distinct "overlay" modes, you can mange your colony's Crops, Citizens, Happiness, Crime, Air, Electricity, Employment, Resources, Commute, Structures, Drones, and Water. Earn the respect of your colonists, and rise in rank from Colony Governor to Expedition President!


DISCOVER THE PAST: The world of Aven Prime holds many secrets. Play through a full single-player campaign and participate in a story that reveals some of the many secrets of this brave new world.


BUILD THE FUTURE: Use construction drones to build dozens of types of structures to house your colonists, establish trading routes, welcome immigrants and much more! Enhance your existing buildings through several upgrade tiers to push your colony to new heights!


EXPEDITION SYSTEM: Deploy your crack team of pioneers to explore alien ruins, recover artifacts, repair crashed vessels and rescue lost explorers. Get ready to take on plague and creep spore nests whilst fending off splinter groups, rebels and Aven Prime's remaining robot guardians which threaten your new civilisation.


PREPARE FOR WINTER: A fully functional day/night and seasonal cycle. During the winter Aven Prime freezes over - farms will not grow food and solar panels will generate far less electricity. Take measures to survive this harsh climate!

Uninspired Gameplay

This could have been a gem, but it is just another build me a city the same way for some missions. Basically you always build up your colony, finish the one unique task tat is just using the standard game mechanisms and win. The story is not bad but actually has barely content, not even cutscenes but the final one. The game itself is solid but totally without love, graphics are ok, no visual highlights though. There is no challenge that is worth mentioning on normal difficulty, the tasks and rewards are literally all the same in each campaign setting... In general user interface/handling is good, with some weird exceptions e.g. that you cannot limit your production/set your trades, etc. in the important phases of the game... all in one: Uninspired, short and boring - do not buy at full price.

Needs serious Work

A Lot of potential, but... It shows I am making water when I am losing water. Same for Food etc. When a spore infects the colony it's GAME OVER as you CAN NOT stop the spread with containment or hospitals....... And around we go! I'll try it again in a few months to see if there are improvements, but I won't hold my breath.

Looks can be and are decieving

Aven Colony looks good graphically but gameplay is boring, unengaging, pointless micro-management. Uninstalled.

Uninstalled Pl**tb*se

I played the hex out of another colony builder game and removed it from my computer after playing this. Visuals and graphics are great. Hits the sweet spot for micro and macro managment (for me). And, it has a storyline.

Worth it

Recommended. This game is absolutely worth it. Make sure you buy it on promo. I've been playing it offline on Linux, it's running perfectly fine without GOG. Very nice, modern RTS with active pause. I finished single player campaigns on normal difficulty, then again on insane, every single level. Requires Load/Save sometimes and very careful planning, but a lot of fun. Challenge scenarios are very hardcore.
