  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a polished set of mechanics that create an enjoyable click-fest experience, though it may feel overwhelming for those not accustomed to real-time strategy games. While the core gameplay loop is fun and engaging, involving crafting and trading, some mechanics are considered questionable, leading to a perception of simplicity in the overall gameplay.

    • “+ fun core gameplay loop (2-3 hours/game)”
    • “Questionable game mechanics.”
    • “Gameplay-wise, the game is fairly simple: craft X, trade for Y, keep upgrading.”
  • replayability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers around 15-20 hours of enjoyable gameplay, particularly for fans of resource management and trading, but it suffers from limited long-term replayability. Players note that replayability is primarily tied to 'knowledge' points earned through winning, which may restrict the experience for some. Overall, while it is entertaining, the lack of diverse replay options may leave some players wanting more.

    • “A simple yet entertaining resource management game with around 15-20 hours of replay value, well worth the price if you're looking for a fun management/trading experience.”
    • “I am a bit sad about the lack of replayability.”
    • “Limited long-term replayability.”
    • “Replayability is locked behind 'knowledge' points obtained by winning games.”

    • “The soundtrack is quite nice, and the graphics are good enough to really sell the Palace of Knossos as a place worth decorating.”
    • “The graphics are very well done, and it's got catchy music.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is not the primary focus, but players find enjoyment in the trading system, which features lootboxes that appear after sending ships on trading missions. This adds an engaging layer to the gameplay experience.
