The gameplay involves managing a team of robots to grow plants on a distant planet, but it quickly becomes repetitive and lacks depth, with unclear icons and limited tooltip guidance. While the tutorial is comprehensive and the mechanics are easy to grasp, players feel that the game fails to fully realize its potential, offering only random contracts as challenges and missing key elements that could enhance the gameplay experience. Overall, despite some promising aspects reminiscent of management games, the gameplay loop feels incomplete and in need of refinement.
“Gameplay is easy to pick up and the tutorial is comprehensive.”
“But after watching some videos, I understood that the game is not a 'little game'; it actually has a lot of nice gameplay elements, some are comparable to RimWorld (working hours, priorities, commerce), and to pure management games, like Good Company (workers' skills, wages, contracts).”
“The demo time was limited, so I couldn't notice that there were many other parts of the gameplay that were not accessible in the demo (or maybe because I was too slow to reach that in the demo).”
“You're tasked with growing plants on a distant planet using a team of robots, but the gameplay quickly becomes repetitive.”
“The icons representing key concepts are unclear, and while some have tooltips, they only appear in certain situations, leaving players guessing at important mechanics.”
“The game promises 'mysterious challenges,' but these turn out to be little more than random contracts, offering no real depth or variety to the gameplay.”
