Recente recensies door Innocent Traitor

The concept is great, having the ability to brew potions in any direction is fun.

Review is based on mid game completion -
Seeing how its alpha, there are a few balance issues:
Anything other than the 4-5 basic herbs, seems like a waste of effort, and are only nice for "random exploration/experimentation".
Herbs being so costly, hurt experimentation, so you end up just save/reloading if something doesn't work out. Eventually I just went to the wiki because margins felt so thin even for Tier 3 potions.

Hopefully ALL herbs will be more plentiful/cheaper, and experimentation might get rewarded (maybe instead of just xp on map, have an unlock placed randomly where you have to brew to it.)

I was concerned about the bad reviews about bad AI, however patch 10 changed it, so I didn't have to see any of it. From what I can tell, they did an awesome job.

This game has done well fixing bugs too, as I was only able to spot a couple GUI (easily work around), and 1 where a person was stuck in a pod (reload current save fixed it). Nothing game stopping.

The only valid annoyanaces one could get is from some sort of gameplay imbalance/unfair rules, however those have been so small compared to the large amount of gameplay.

This game is worth it.

Unfinished game... unplayable:
Save system is beyond broken in multiple ways, your save files revert hours, or just dont save. If you look up the workarounds, they sort of work, then you realize how janky the save system works.
Not a big deal, until you want to: continue your game, or rollback a few minutes because of the below bugs

Rocket '100%' this is where it will land, slams into a wall
99% hit rate is a complete miss... sure "rng"... but since when did a 100% hit/100% crit miss AS WELL? That threw me back mentally. I can only assume I was 'too close' or something? But why bother telling me anything....
Unbeatable 'whale' mission... everyone knows about this, first play through game expects you to know its unbeatable. It gets more difficult as the mission progresses to lure you in. Then 3 spawns a turn. This mission can be given to you within the first hour of gameplay.

Game was AWESOME until you find yourself repeating the same several hours because it lied to you about something and you just want a fair game. I would buy xcom 2 if I knew it fixed these bugs/issues, but I see people still have issues with their saves in that game.
I would say 10/10 if save showstopper was fixed, but 5/10 because it discourages you from playing.


Other bugs I found personally - cant use 2nd story of building, you are forced onto the bottom floor when giving movement commands, annoying but not completely game breaking.
AI will choose to ignore your players - maybe this is 'pity' from the AI, but game loses its realism when they just stand next to you, and attack the furthest unit away.

Then if you read the forums, you will notice about other 5 game breaking bugs, and 5+ really annoying ones.

Well optimized (and planned to be further optimized before release)
The perfect base building game. Definitely worth trying if you've enjoyed Factorio.

The spiders... truly terrifying with the sound ambiance.

When you complete most of Vanilla, definitely look into the mods. Most are balanced and feel like they should be a part of the core game. Devs are still updating, so its worth checking back too.

I wrote a long review, but steam considers pointing out flaws a problem with their guidelines and won't say what specifically is wrong with my in depth review.

Garbage UI, font is fuzzy and small. Official dev response is "won't fix".

First stardock game to extremely disappoint..

Game isn't bad, although gets frustrating at times:
Duplicants refuse to eat, some feel like doing jobs is better than breathing, so they suffocate, despite you micro-managing them back to oxygen. The game used to break down with memory issues at about cycle 40. Now the duplicants themselves just give up on life.
Clutter like no other (vents/pipes/transformers/pumps) taking up too much space.

I've played since public release, although always end up quitting for months due to clutter/duplicant suicides. I just hope the devs stop adding features, and fix a few QoL issues.

Really fun and cool idea. Unfortunately it involves a lot more "clicking" than it tries to lead on.
The matchmaking is either not existent or its too easy to create low level accounts, as you get curb stomped frequently.

Which leads into another point: learning, even more difficult becuase knowing where to go, and doing it fast becomes hectic.
You aren't rewarded for VSing AI, so your choice is to be super casual or play in a frantic against players who can do 4x your damage in the first few minutes.


Then the item finding, which I'm not sure how the formula works, but simply finding a blue item could change your outcome drastically.

I think watching competitive players streaming might be enjoyable and more educational, but trying to learn through PvP (as the game seems to push towards) is frustrating.

This game type is for a very specific group of players. It's an IDLE game.

That given, this is perhaps one of the best IDLE games, it has many unique mechanics that get introduced during play.

Progression is generally linear in duration, however can have a few 12+ hour periods of nothing noticeable happening.

Every month, a $20-40 set of new content items gets released.

The game (demo?) is "free", but any new content must be bought. Expect in a year, with all this exclusive content, to have half the content. While the rest can't be unlocked because it was exclusive during a time period.

Every month, you are playing less and less of the entire game content, unless you pay $20-40 a month that is...

Updates are promised monthly (and have been for over 13 months) but no actual content makes it. Complaining on the forums leads to censorship (deleted posts) or bans (IN GAME).

A lot of veteran players have quit, because of this, but some were forced to quit for simply "being too strong" (ie: bloops, who had full mythical everything, and ran quests too quickly, so he was banned for: saying 'chinese' on a forum post, "thats racist" was the reason they gave everyone)

2 of the worst community moderators, the 2nd being the worst, who, as an employee, says "bring it on" but hands out bans the second someone disagrees with him.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: The original creators who developed this game, are no longer working for this company. These creators worked for S&P, and S&P2, they were the original designers of this type of gameplay, and CC had bought them to develop this game. They were forced out a year ago (hence the "updates are coming") speech.

REMINDER: repeating anything here on their forums will give you a deleted forum post/permanent in game ban. Share at your own risk.
