One of the best games I’ve played in recent memory, even during EA. Extremely polished and well designed, it’s worth every cent and if this doesn’t convince you I think it still has a free demo you can try.
Yeah seriously. Amazing devs who kept on their update cycle and listened to their fans. A lot of the QoL improvements were suggested by the community.
I bought it during last year’s Steam Winter sale and it’s one of my most played games.
I started playing it around May 2023, and it was pretty solid.
So to see a massive list of changes since then, just wow!
They have been amazing in terms of updates - regular meaningful updates every 2 weeks, it was amazing to see the game evolve so fast. I hope it means they just had a really good codebase and established workflow rather than they were crunching though.
Superb is right! Absolutely a delight, it’s become something I keep returning to on a regular basis. Each time, just enough balance between “chilled out,” familiarity, and freshness of relevant judgment/choice-making. Definitely helps that the UI is absolutely on point throughout and the music is a delight.
Is this like Frostpunk?
Kinda. Frostpunk, I felt I had to choose between multiple bad choices. Where this is a bit more optimistic.
It’s more RTS-feeling, where you can CHOOSE to go to that route, and just roll with the punches. And it’s so sweet when your choices line up to the danger.
Yeah!
Been playing it the last few weeks, pretty addicting
I have played that game in early access and it was pretty good. The devs really listened to the players to make it better.
Did it arrive on gamepass yet?
Yep
I love city-builders, RTS and roguelite… this looks like a fun game.
You’re gonna love it
I am loving it!
Did they ever add gamepad support?
According to the Steam page, it does not have controller support.
I’m waiting for that too, so I can play on the Deck or on the couch
Yeah, I guess I’m gonna dogpile here a bit, but can confirm it’s pretty solid on the deck. I thought I’d hate track-padding, but it’s actually pretty pleasant. Just had to remap a couple things, like wood-cutting & a couple back paddle buttons and it plays surprisingly smoothly. I’ve played on both PC & deck and oddly I’m starting to get to like playing on the deck a little bit better actually.
Give it a try!
Ok, yeah I’ve tried trackpadding other games on the Deck and it was a thoroughly unenjoyable experience for me. Maybe I’ll try to push through again with this game
I’ve played almost exclusively on my Steam Deck since early access. I’d argue it’s actually easier to play on the Steam Deck with all the hotkeys and whatnot mapped to buttons.
That’s my current wish. After 50 hours on my computer, Im excited to take it with me on a keypad.
You can play it on the Deck if you just use one of the trackpad as mouse, I do it all the time :D
Yeah I’ve tried using the Deck’s trackpads in games. I’m ok with it for an occasional menu, but I haven’t been able to enjoy it enough to use it as a primary gaming input device
I don’t have too much time to play because of parental duties but every second I have goes to this game now. Looking forward to the next time I can sit down and play a map, solving the puzzle, gaining some resources for meta progression. It is so good.
