A comfortable and challenging strategy-managing game, that I finished in 16 hours of interested engagement.
While not as wide and expanding as bigger games in the genre, it is very concise, dynamic, adaptive and with some good surprises every now and then.
It does everything it promisses, being very well-built and calibrated, not wasting time or space.
I wished it was expanded, given more depth, more models for buildings (!) and even mroe politically interactive. Cuz the gameplay is even addictive sometimes, even if it is somewhat simpler than other managements.
The theme is well handled, the writing is good, the tone finely tuned. Few management games do this well, and even better, let you shape it. I just wanted more of it. I'll be on the lookout for this studio!
Not a brand new bleeding-edge manager, but super competent and with a level of detail and interaction that sometimes surprises. For management and industrial revolution games, I can recommend.
