stability6 negative mentions
  • Deep and engaging colony simulation with complex systems including building, research, combat, and economy, offering a lot of content and replayability.
  • Developer is very active, responsive, and dedicated, regularly pushing updates and quickly addressing bugs despite being a solo dev.
  • The game's detail and simulation of daily life, interactions, and environment immersion create a living, dynamic kingdom that players find enjoyable and addictive.
  • The game is currently buggy with issues such as AI pathing, UI/UX problems, save/load errors, and unresponsive colonist behaviors that impact gameplay and cause frustration.
  • Some core mechanics and features feel incomplete or unpolished, including combat, job prioritization, quest content, and building controls, making the game feel rough and unready.
  • Performance problems like lag spikes, memory leaks, and infrequent updates combined with a steep learning curve make the experience daunting for new players at present.

  • stability

    The game currently suffers from numerous stability issues, including frequent bugs, colonists getting stuck or starving, visual glitches, and occasional save game problems. While the developer is actively fixing bugs and improving optimization, the game can feel slow and unstable, especially in longer sessions or with larger colonies. Players seeking a polished experience may want to wait, but those willing to support ongoing development might find its potential rewarding.

    • “Pre-review: this game is very complicated [even more so than RimWorld in some cases, even if you are used to colony sims. The menus take a bit getting used to, especially the construction menu], buggy as all hell [pink traders - a bit harsh on the eyes but just a visual bug, enemies sending traders to you I don't mind this one too much, it's free food! Your colonists not doing what they're supposed to and getting stuck. This is the major bug that frustrates me sometimes. One time when I was playing and a colonist got stuck, I didn't realize it until after they starved to death. That colonist? My faction leader. Needless to say, I restarted and tried again. LMAO.] and needs a lot of work and optimization fixes as I feel like there's a memory leak if you play for too long but I can't confirm it.”
    • “Can't recommend this game as for now... buggy, slow and boring for what it costs. It is a small developer and the game has potential but it just takes too long and some stuff keeps happening.”
    • “1.0 game is so buggy I don't know where to start.”

  • grinding

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is described as tedious and unrewarding, with farming and hunting feeling insufficient to sustain progress. Players often lose motivation due to repetitiveness and frustrating mechanics, such as awkward controls during building adjustments. Overall, the grinding aspect detracts from the enjoyment for some users.

    • “No matter how much farming and hunting you do, it's almost never enough.”
    • “The feature for this is to left click and drag, but it wouldn't stay in the direction I needed and so became incredibly tedious.”
    • “It was fun until suddenly 4 hours in everyone decided to stop farming and hunting and cooking and just starved to death.”

  • graphics

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users praise the game's detailed and fun graphics, noting a charming art style that enhances the experience. While performance on ultra settings is smooth, there are some UI scaling issues at higher resolutions that require adjustment to access buttons properly.

    • “Great building mechanics, everything just 'clicks', with fun graphics and a lot of detail.”
    • “Great graphics and runs smoothly and I used ultra settings.”
    • “Cute art style (although seeing NPCs cry after another villager dies makes me sad lol).”
    • “Graphics at 3440 x 1440 settings are cutting off buttons; had to change resolution to make everything fit so I could click on buttons before even starting the game.”

  • story

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The story lacks depth and meaningful progression, with minimal quests beyond repetitive tribute payments and unexplained game mechanics. Users report inconsistencies and unclear elements that detract from immersion, such as unreachable resources and ineffective citizen behaviors. Overall, the narrative feels underdeveloped and poorly integrated into gameplay.

    • “Resources appear out of nowhere in your storage with little explanation. Hunted or killed beings end up in unreachable holes in the map, leaving them to rot indefinitely or spawning directly there. Corpse textures get stretched. Citizens don't prioritize eating perishable or cooked food and do other tasks over assigned jobs. Job assignment is a mess and also lacks explanation.”
    • “You have to pay a monthly tribute early on when you barely have a way to get money. In the first year, there is still no quest except the tribute.”
    • “I've completed the only available quest, which is paying tribute to other kingdoms, but their relationship with me remains at zero.”

  • optimization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, -33% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game features impressive graphics and runs smoothly even on ultra settings, but suffers from significant bugs impacting colonist behavior and potential memory leaks over extended play. The complex menus and frequent optimization issues detract from the experience and require further fixes.

    • “Great graphics and runs smoothly, and I used ultra settings.”
    • “The game is buggy, with colonists frequently getting stuck and not performing their tasks, which can lead to disastrous outcomes like important characters starving to death.”
    • “The game needs significant optimization fixes; there are concerns about a possible memory leak if playing for extended periods.”
    • “Menus, especially the construction menu, are complicated and take time to get used to, which adds to the frustration alongside the bugs.”

  • gameplay

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The gameplay is praised for its engaging and well-designed mechanics that seamlessly blend new and classic elements, offering enjoyable and detailed building experiences. The developer’s passion and responsiveness contribute to the game's strong potential and ongoing improvements, focusing purely on gameplay without any distracting agendas.

    • “Great building mechanics, everything just 'clicks', with fun graphics and a lot of detail.”
    • “The developer is very responsive and willing to listen to your thoughts and possible ideas. I shared my thoughts and saw for myself that this solo developer has a real passion for this game and wants everybody to enjoy it just as much as they have making this game. It's clear to me that this game has so much potential, from the mechanics (new and old) built into the systems to the possibilities of what could be added for more in-depth construction and stylizing/cosmetics to make your settlement how you like.”

    The game's humor shines through its quirky character interactions and unexpected, amusing events, like villagers comically struggling with disasters. Players appreciate the lighthearted, goofy moments that add charm and laughter to the experience.

    • “I love the personality of the game and characters so far. I was laughing because I put the campfire in my villager's wooden house and it started burning down!”
    • “My pregnant villager was trying to put out the fire, and I was like, 'Girl, it's far past saving, get out of there!' Then another villager was sleeping in there while the fire and all the supplies burned. It was so goofy but made me laugh a lot.”
