Terraformers: First Steps on Mars

Minus 10 stars

The worst thing about this game, is not that the makers mislead the users to think it is a free and full game, by not stating it in the tile that it is a demo. If that was the only problem than it deserves 1 star. No, it doesn't even worth 1 star. You start playing the game and it give you a leader. Every leader has one particular strength that boosts one type of structure you can build. So you start building up the colony focusing on that particular type of buildings. E.g. you build up a "farming" type colony. As you play the game, at some point, you have to choose another leader with different strenght, that force you to build those type of building that this new leader boosts, and even destroying what already builted up. Firts it doesn't seemed a problem, I was like "Ok. This must be somekind of turorial, that introduces you the abilities of the different leaders." But as you play more, the game again FORCE you to choose different leader, even if you don't want, because you build up your colony focusing on one type of building that your current leader boosts. It FORCE you to destroy whatever you build up, just to give place to the new type of buildings, because of the extremely limted spots where you can build. No matter how many times I started over, the game always softloked me, beacuse I can't keep building the type of colony I already has. After countless times of restarting the game and running into this exact same problem, beacuse the game won't let you build whatever type of colony you want, it really pissed me up. This FORCED annoying choosing another leader, destroy whatever the previous done, made me hate this game as much as it is humanly possible. I think even masochist will be pissed up by this. A "game" should be fun to play, not annoying. This game is one of the worst and most annoying management game that I ever played. Avoid it. There are countless of other free-to-play fun and great games out there to choose from.

The dice rolls are unabashedly CHEATING!

The makers stated on the Steam community page, that the dice rolls are "physics" based. See: https://steamcommunity.com/app/323060/discussions/0/458605613413328493/ While they seems doing that, but this "physics" is definitely come from another dimension, not from our reality. The dices moves so awkwardly, that they doesn't follow any rules. They most of the times flips to a side so incredibly unrealistically, just to be sure you can't get good numbers. Many times they flip awkwardly to one side, and you get a number that is literally not the one that is really on that side, you can see it! It just change to a completely different number, just make sure you can't win in that given situation!!! Too bad, because the graphics are really great, and the game-play is very unique, and deep. But this cheating dice rolls are just ruined everything... I wouldn't recommend it, don't buy this, unless you are a masochist...
