The gameplay of this game is characterized by a slow-paced, strategic approach that emphasizes planning and resource management, often requiring players to engage with external tools like spreadsheets for optimal efficiency. While some players appreciate the depth and economic simulation aspects, many criticize the lack of content, a brief and ineffective tutorial, and the minimal interaction available during gameplay, leading to a feeling of being disconnected from the game world. Overall, it caters to a niche audience that enjoys meticulous planning and economic mechanics, but may not appeal to those seeking more immediate or action-oriented gameplay experiences.
“But once I got over that initial hurdle and dove into the key elements and gameplay loop, I was totally hooked.”
“There is so much depth in the gameplay, and I find it completely captivating, so I am thinking about it throughout the day.”
“For some people, this will be a dream come true in the form of building a galaxy-spanning supply chain over months of real-life time by engaging in a market and commodities simulation game that rewards careful planning.”
“Seeing the videos/pictures, it looks like a nice/fun game, but I just started playing it. The tutorial is too short and useless; I still don't know how to play the game. There needs to be a better tutorial that explains everything and not only the menus. It taught me how to open menus and scale and open/close menus, but it taught me nothing about the actual gameplay. If I want to build stuff, I need resources, and I don't know how to get them. I just sent 2 fleets off to some place but don't know what it does, and also there is no sound at all. This can be a great game, but it needs a lot of work.”
“The gameplay encourages extensive planning - even outside of the game interface, so only very few will tolerate this style.”
“This is very much an efficiency simulator and a slow-paced trading game. The gameplay is simply trying to find the niche in a market of players to get more money so that you can spend more money to make yourself more money.”
