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!

A vapid, pretty cutscene

Wow, they're selling this thing for 30$? I got it for free and I can't even be bugged to play it. It is not complete trash - I noticed no bugs, it was mostly streamlined and the tutorial mission was only occasionally confusing. At least in this respect, it's better than most citybuilder or strategy releases I've seen in recent years. And it's a finished product with no gated content or microtransactions! That's rare. Unfortunately, all that praise is wasted on a game with so little gameplay. Most other building games quickly deploy tiered systems and layered choices, exploration, something other than just straightforward plopping down one more building. My entire experience consisted of a single core loop: need X, build X. It was a dreadful, vapid experience. Pretty and colorful like a children's book and about as engaging. Not recommended.

Crashes after 1 minute on GTX 3090

The game looks extremely promising but crashes at the title selection screen after 1 minute. I tried clicking straight into a game and then within a minute of playing the game, it freezes and crashes out. GTX 3090 with latest drivers.

Crash crash crash

Crashes on the opening screen, crashes during the opening naration, crashes when you select the first mission, crashes when you load the first misison. Maybe that's the game, how many crashes before you give up. Shame because ot looks like it is very nicely done - if it decides to work.

A lesser strategy game

This game is aesthetically displeasing. This game has quite mundane gameplay, where design choices restrict your options at almost every turn. The actions you can take are limited, the maps are small, the economy is simple and the UI has a way to go. The plus side is the concept, which is fun. I was sufficiently intrigued that I played this longer than I should have, hoping there would be some awesome aspect of the game I had not discovered. However, I do not think they have succeeded. For the price you can get several other strategy games which are far better. 2/10 would not buy again.
