  • Engaging base building and management with a fun and quirky story and humor.
  • Unique blend of colony sim, RPG, and survival elements with challenging combat and exploration.
  • Good progression and automation systems with a lot of potential for growth and enjoyable gameplay.
  • The game feels unfinished and buggy, with quests that can break and technical issues like disappearing bases.
  • User interface and menus are cumbersome, particularly crafting and trading interactions.
  • Limited content and slow updates, with some parts labeled as work-in-progress and lack of procedural generation or variety in maps.

  • story

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The story is engaging and quirky, blending humor with RPG elements and base-building, but is hampered by bugs, slow progression, and incomplete or broken quests. Despite these issues, many players find the narrative charming and entertaining, though some quests may feel unfinished or frustrating to complete.

    • “Absolutely wonderful story.”
    • “Wonderfully engaging base building and management, scavenging for resources in the wasteland, fun combat, and great RPG elements and storytelling.”
    • “The story so far is fun with just the right amount of comedy thrown in.”
    • “It's buggy, it gets slow, quests can break, base disappeared once, and I got stuck on 'find the west cave' when I already found it and visited it, but the main quest wouldn't progress. In several places, you see 'work in progress' labels, and sometimes you encounter stuff that's like 'proof of concept', e.g., there's a tab for 'traps' but there's only one type of trap in it.”
    • “I actually haven't reached anything close to what this would be; I wouldn't say I'm stuck on a story quest that I'm not even sure can be completed at this point in the game's development.”
    • “I actually haven't reached anything close to what this would be; I wouldn't say I'm stuck on a story quest that I'm not even sure can be completed at this point in the game's development.”

    The music in the game is well-received, featuring memorable and enjoyable tracks that enhance the experience, including surprising and fun moments like an NPC singing the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme.

    • “It can be a bit grindy at the start but you'll be making millions in no time from trading.”

  • graphics
