Incredible game, but low replayability.
This game is outright awesome. The steampunk cold apocalypse shown just right, visuals, sound and music in this game is the main selling point. This is true art right there. Gameplay is solid as well, its a very time limited city builder with strong emphasis in resourse management and foreplanning. It offers original map of the city where it is necessary to build around core Generator. Keep your citizens fed, healthy, warm and calm. Hope and discontent add a good headache to captain you play as on top of everything else. The minmal goal is to survive for 50 days, by any means. Sounds exciting and it really is! But this is clearly a spiritual successor to "This war of mine", another game from the same developer and sadly, it has the same problems. First is replayability, game offers several scenarios with various goals and starting conditions. You can even play in the greenery of the Last Autumn. But after first playtrhough you dont really have to play it again to see something new. Most likely you'll visit all the map markers, build most useful buildings and upgrades, try everything except for one of two mutually exclusive path of restoring hope which you pick every run. Second is keeping your citizens calm. This war of mine had very big issues with mental health of your characters. Same happens here, poor captain tries his best to keep everyone ALIVE yet these morons nag and cry about horrible living conditions. In 'A new home' scenario there are even Londoneers who want to go back to dead city they barely escaped from! WHY?! I understand game design decision behind this player task, but it's really stupid. Or my expectations from people in such dire situation are way overstated. So you quickly find out the most effective ways of running the city and abusing several exploits in the game and thats it. Still, compared to 'war' and on its own, this game is worth taking a look and several hours of your time. If not for gameplay but for style alone. Very well done 11bit
