Very fun. Good if you like Slay the Spire and looking for something new.
This is a great game if you like building / management sim games like Transport Tycoon, Sim City, Transport Fever, etc, although the game stands apart on its own. It's a lot of fun to research your techs, plan out your industries, etc. Eventually as you grow a lot, the game gets a little noisy and frustrating, like if you have a lot of farms, water sources, and factories, you have to get the supply chain just right, or you'll have too much water, or not enough. Have too much water, you have to curb your water siphoning , or add more things that use the water. If you don't have enough, then you need to build more water siphoners, but not too many so you have too much water. ALl thsi can be calculated out, but there aren't really any in-game tools to help you other than clicking on each buliding and examining what their monthly inputs and outputs are. This can be tough if an industry produces something twice a month instead of every month. I feel like there ought to be some more in game tools to help with that. Eventually I just say "screw it, I"ll produce more water than I need", and turn off the alarms that beep at you every few seconds. Also, the game makes it a bit tough to figure out how profitable something is. If you produce wheat and only use it on animal farms, it will show a big net loss, since the wheat is never actually being sold for money. Similarly, i'm not sure the stuff you sell accounts for the cost of the input source you're buying. Sometimes I wish that the game gave you a litlte more control over what industries you actually go in to, because you are a slave to what the shops want in the towns you're building at. The tutorial is partially broken, but will get you far enough in to it to figure the game out. The developer and others on Discord are very responsive to questions. Despite the shortcomings I mentioned, it's still a very fun game and can be quite challenging, but not exactly in the areas I was hoping for.
