I like to call games that you can play offline for hours airplane games, and this is a great example of a good airplane game. There are also no ads, so you play uninterrupted. The economic system of the game is also very good. It’s neither too hard nor too easy, and the random events tie it all together by making you think ahead of the possibility of losing resources in the future! I really like the art and I find the music pleasant but not distracting. I really enjoy how you can have turn-base mode too, I occasionally like to swap it out and give a refreshment in the gameplay. Just the free version is really good, the amount of gameplay available is perfect, it makes you want to have more access but doesn’t restrict things to the point of forcing you to buy it! Very virtuous of the developer, especially for a
The game isn’t complete yet, and new.
My one complaint is how everything looks so similar, I think there should be 2-3 skins per object that each object has a probability of getting that skin, (I know that’s a lot of work) but it would make the game more visually exciting without having to add more structures. Anyway, great work dev team, you guys made a really cool game!!!

Thank you so much for your detailed and kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoy the offline play, economy, art, music, and turn-based mode. Regarding visuals, with the different factions, buildings do change appearance—for example, the Vikings have their own unique style. Your suggestion about multiple skins per object is fantastic, and we’ll definitely consider it for future updates. We truly appreciate your support and enthusiasm—it means a lot to our team!

Absolutely a work of art. The idea is absolutely perfect and it has a really informative tutorial! I love this game, people who are complaining about the full version being 5 bucks don’t understand that if there are no ads, the only way the devs can make money is in game purchases. In this case, a full version. But even with 0 dollars spent you could still experience so much of the gameplay, even the tutorial was so well put together!

One thing I would like for the devs to add though is definitely an endless mode, as a fan of roguelikes and roguelites, having an endless mode would just be the icing on the cake —the cherry on top. I imagine endless as trying to survive as long as possible, as exploring new land get more and more challenging as you progress! That’s my only critique. Thank you, Short Circuit Studios, for bringing us this amazing work of art.

Thank you so much for the incredibly thoughtful and encouraging review—it means a lot to our team! We're thrilled you're enjoying the game and really appreciate your support and understanding of the pricing model. As for endless play, Skirmish mode is our current take on that concept, letting you explore maps with adjustable settings and replayable seeds. That said, we’re always thinking about how to expand it even further. If you have more feedback, feel free to reach out at support@shortcircuitstudio.com or join us on Discord!

I haven’t really been applying for terribly long, but I’m already hooked, it’s just complicated enough for my brain to latch on and not so complicated that it makes me get overwhelmed, the perfect balance,its also one of the only games that makes me think about my choices to make sure that my civilization/settlement doesn’t fall into dissray, also the art is probably some of the best pixel art I’ve ever seen in a game, there have been a few others that come close, but this is just amazing, my only minor complaint is that there’s only four biomes, but that’s it, thank you for making this game and have a wonderful rest of your week!

Thank you so much—this absolutely made our day! We're thrilled that the balance of challenge and strategy is working so well for you, and your kind words about the pixel art mean a lot to the team. We hear you on the biomes too, and we’ll definitely keep that in mind as we plan future patches. Thanks again, and wishing you a wonderful week as well!
