A colony building game with an emphasis on unexpected events, online co-op, and managing a unique community. Build your colony, feed your colonists, research technologies, craft advanced weapons, explore the world, fight enemies and defend your property.
Players can construct multi-story buildings, extending their colony underground or into the mountains. The game offers a large selection of furniture, pictures, and other decorative options, allowing players to customize individual rooms to their liking.
Effective resource management is crucial. Players must gather the right materials to support their colony and colonists. The technology research system features over 50 individual fields across 4 ages, unlocking advanced weapons, items, machines, and construction elements to aid the colony's development.
Each colonist is an individual with unique expectations, moods, skills, talents, and traits. Players must fulfill their colonists' needs, such as providing suitable living quarters and amenities, to maintain positive moods and prevent dangerous situations. The game also features a relationship system, enabling players to strengthen the bonds between their colonists.
The colony frequently receives visits from various groups, including wanderers, traders, and potentially hostile individuals. Players must be ready to deal with unexpected events, such as attacks from hostile colonists, dangerous animals, or intelligent insects, which can threaten the survival of their colony.
The online co-op mode allows players to control their own colonies in the same world. Cooperating players can trade resources, provide medical assistance to each other's colonists, and work together to tackle events and attacks, adding an extra layer of strategy and coordination to the gameplay.
Reviews highlight the game's solid foundation and the developer's active engagement with the community. Players praise the 3D building mechanics, customization options, and the unique co-op experience. The developer's responsiveness in addressing bugs and implementing player-suggested improvements is also highly regarded.
