Description
The Colonists is a settlement building game inspired by classic titles like The Settlers and the Anno series.

You take control of a team of self-replicating robots who have escaped from Earth and are searching the galaxy for a new home where they can fulfil their dream: to be human.

You'll advance through three different Ages as you build infrastructure for your colony by constructing road, boat and train transport systems.

Harvest natural resources, set up farming and food production, create expeditions to discover new lands and research new technologies.

With two separate mission tracks, The Colonists lets either you create sprawling settlements in peace or race to compete against AI colonies in military winner-takes-all scenarios.

Explore, research, manage, tweak and refine to your heart's content!

The Colonists is cute and with a stronger campaign, it could have been so much better. Sadly repetitive tasks and some finicky management means that some levels feel more like a chore than a challenge as your robots fumble over themselves.

These little robots, although not perfect, found a way into my heart. With the developers actively listening to their fans, if The Colonists grabs your interest in any way, jump on it. You won't go wrong!

Packed full of charming robots and thoughtful gameplay, The Colonists is a great city builder that controls great on console.

At best a puzzle game

The game is lacking in complexity though it is aesthetically pleasing. There is no skirmish or free play mode which is a major failing.

Cute, fun and addictive.

If you liked Settlers you will especially love this, but if not then you will still love it.

universim clone

just another clone of universim ,(which is in ea alpha elsewhere, and is far far better.) nothing positive to say unfortunately,shame these indie devs dont have ideas of their own and need to copy each other all the time. changing tiny bits of someone elses game doesnt make it yours... :(
