The story of "Oasis Mission" revolves around a sci-fi colony simulator where players manage a settlement amidst a slow-burn machine uprising, facing challenges from the antagonist, the Oblivion Network. While the game offers depth and complexity in its mechanics, the narrative and variety of scenarios are criticized for being limited, leading to potential repetitiveness. Overall, it presents an ambitious concept that may appeal to players who prioritize strategic management over narrative richness, with hopes for future updates to enhance the experience.
- “From the moment you begin selecting your colony type and map seed, it becomes clear that Oasis Mission aims for depth and complexity rather than a simple casual management experience.”
- “The looming antagonist of Oasis Mission is the Oblivion Network—a spreading infestation of machine nodes and virus-corrupted units that expand across the map.”
- “The real point of the game, though, is to manage protecting your base while you are trying to do research to unlock the whole tech tree to launch the Oasis Mission.”
- “Additionally, although the mechanics are deep, the variety in scenarios and story events remains limited, which may cause the experience to feel repetitive after many hours.”
- “Game received a number of new mechanics since then, but sadly it also changed from mini missions with building fleet in between to a colony sim focus with negligible colony sim improvements.”
- “The real point of the game, though, is to manage protecting your base while you are trying to do research to unlock the whole tech tree to launch the oasis mission.”

Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of intriguing mechanics and significant shortcomings. While players appreciate the depth of systems like modular ship building and the potential for replayability through varied maps, many find the tutorial inadequate and certain mechanics poorly explained, leading to frustration. The shift towards a colony sim focus has also drawn criticism for reducing the variety of scenarios, making the experience feel repetitive over time.
- “The replayability will be good once you consider the different maps and all the different gameplay levers you can adjust.”
- “From the simple but user-friendly menus to the nice, relaxing music, from the really nice art style to the surprisingly deep gameplay, Oasis Mission: Colony Sim is a game that you just should put on your radar.”
- “What I like the most about the tutorial is the fact that it facilitates guided discovery of new buildings and gameplay features, and now you can also gain points for scientific research and buy upgrades one by one.”
- “Some mechanics—particularly the distinctions between district types, module behaviors, or logistics chains—can feel opaque, leaving players to decipher systems through trial and error.”
- “Additionally, although the mechanics are deep, the variety in scenarios and story events remains limited, which may cause the experience to feel repetitive after many hours.”
- “Don't get this yet unless you want endless frustration with basic mechanics that aren't even there yet, dead ends where automation breaks the game and forces you to restart, and UI elements that have no explanation and clicking them makes the game unplayable.”

- “Clean up the terrain visuals because they don't fit in with the rest of the game.”

The game's stability is a significant concern, with users reporting numerous bugs and functionality issues, particularly with gameplay mechanics like ship movement and a problematic tutorial. While the foundation shows promise, many recommend purchasing the game at a discount rather than full price due to its unfinished state and the need for substantial quality of life improvements.
- “I wasted so much time troubleshooting why my ships would not move engineers from the landing pad to my secondary base, only to finally succumb and build a second landing pad (which worked).”
- “It's buggy, does not function properly.”
- “Borked tutorial, buggy as hell and in desperate need of UI and QoL improvements, but there's a solid foundation here and this is very obviously a passion project, so I'm sure the kinks will get worked out.”
