About
Build a new home for humanity with Aven Colony.
Discover Aven Prime - an alien planet of deserts, tundras, and jungles light years from earth. Aven Colony puts you in charge of humanity's first extrasolar settlement, where you build and expand your small colonies into massive, sprawling cities while dealing with the challenges faced when settling on a new world.
Build your colony's infrastructure, look after the well-being of your citizens, manage your resources, and guide your colony to prosperity against the backdrop of the harsh and often dangerous realities of the exotic world of Aven Prime.
COLONIZE AN ALIEN WORLD: Build a new home for humanity on a world with a low-oxygen atmosphere, extreme electrical storms, shard storms, dust devils, deadly toxic gas eruptions from geothermal vents, and days so long they have their own seasons. Explore a variety of biomes, from the lush wetlands environment to the much less habitable desert and arctic.
MEET THE LOCALS: Encounter a variety of alien life forms, including giant sandworms, deadly plague spores, and a vicious fungal infection known as “The Creep.”
SUPERVISE YOUR COLONISTS: Settling a new world can be stressful. As a new Colony Governor, you’ll need to work overtime to help your colonists deal with their new environment. Using the 12 distinct "overlay" modes, you can mange your colony's Crops, Citizens, Happiness, Crime, Air, Electricity, Employment, Resources, Commute, Structures, Drones, and Water. Earn the respect of your colonists, and rise in rank from Colony Governor to Expedition President!
DISCOVER THE PAST: The world of Aven Prime holds many secrets. Play through a full single-player campaign and participate in a story that reveals some of the many secrets of this brave new world.
BUILD THE FUTURE: Use construction drones to build dozens of types of structures to house your colonists, establish trading routes, welcome immigrants and much more! Enhance your existing buildings through several upgrade tiers to push your colony to new heights!
EXPEDITION SYSTEM: Deploy your crack team of pioneers to explore alien ruins, recover artifacts, repair crashed vessels and rescue lost explorers. Get ready to take on plague and creep spore nests whilst fending off splinter groups, rebels and Aven Prime's remaining robot guardians which threaten your new civilisation.
PREPARE FOR WINTER: A fully functional day/night and seasonal cycle. During the winter Aven Prime freezes over - farms will not grow food and solar panels will generate far less electricity. Take measures to survive this harsh climate!

good gmae
É um jogo com uma excelente dinâmica. Os detalhes dos mapas são incríveis, tem transparências, reflexos, sombras iluminação dinâmica e ainda assim não sobrecarrega a placa gráfica. São vários os desafios entre gerenciar os os recursos e defender as cidades de ameaças. Com certeza, recomendo !!!
6奥,一群傻逼就没水了我派他们全去水泵工作,结果这群傻逼站在里面大喊“啊啊啊,不行了!没水了!要渴死了!”在里面喊了好几天就是不干活挑水,活生生把自己全渴死了,太6了!
Crashes Colony.
I wanted to like this game but I just don't. Its repetitive, unintuitive, and lacks the depth or control that really makes a good city builder. The auto save function is terrible and only allows for 1 save slot. Therefore if you do have a colony collapse disaster and the game has saved within the last few minutes, you're SOL because you have 1 save option to load from. 3/10 There's better options available.
It's not a bad game, looks nice, but really no unique flavor to it to play over something else. You can do just about everything in this game very fast.
Buen juego de construcción de ciudades y gestión. Ligero para pasar el rato
Неплохой симулятор колонии. Отличная графика. Нормально идет в портативе, если не учитывать мелкий шрифт.
Aven Colony is a science-fiction city-building game developed by Mothership Entertainment and published by Team17. The game transports players far beyond Earth to Aven Prime, a hostile alien planet where humanity is attempting to establish a permanent foothold. Rather than focusing solely on urban expansion, the experience blends colony management with survival mechanics, creating a constant struggle against environmental dangers and limited resources. From the moment construction begins, players are challenged to transform an unforgiving wilderness into a prosperous settlement capable of supporting thousands of colonists. One of the game's greatest achievements is the way it uses its setting to influence gameplay. Aven Prime is not simply a futuristic backdrop but an active force that shapes every decision. Different regions feature unique climates and terrain, including frozen landscapes, barren deserts, wetlands, and other hazardous environments. These conditions affect food production, energy generation, and population growth, forcing players to adapt their strategies rather than relying on a single solution. The need to constantly respond to changing circumstances helps keep the gameplay engaging throughout the campaign. Resource management is at the center of the experience. Players must carefully balance essential needs such as food, water, oxygen, housing, healthcare, and power while ensuring the colony continues to expand. The game introduces a variety of futuristic technologies and production systems that gradually unlock as research progresses. Managing these interconnected systems becomes increasingly rewarding as settlements evolve from small outposts into sprawling futuristic cities. The progression feels natural, offering a satisfying sense of growth without becoming overwhelmingly complex for newcomers. The campaign mode does an excellent job of introducing mechanics while maintaining player interest through a structured narrative. Missions gradually reveal more about the world and its mysteries while presenting new objectives and challenges. Instead of overwhelming players with every system at once, the game carefully expands its mechanics over time, allowing each new feature to feel meaningful. This approach makes the learning curve approachable while still providing enough strategic depth to keep experienced players invested. Beyond the campaign, the sandbox mode significantly extends the game's longevity. Players are free to experiment with colony designs, optimize production chains, and build large-scale settlements without the restrictions of story-driven objectives. This mode highlights the strength of the underlying city-building systems and provides an enjoyable space for creativity. The flexibility offered by sandbox play ensures that those who enjoy perfecting layouts and maximizing efficiency will find plenty of reasons to return. Another standout feature is the variety of threats that can disrupt even the most successful colony. Alien infestations, toxic environmental conditions, severe weather events, and other unexpected disasters force players to remain vigilant. Citizen happiness also plays a major role, as colonists expect adequate services, employment opportunities, and a high quality of life. Ignoring public satisfaction can have serious consequences, adding a political layer that makes effective leadership just as important as economic management. Visually, Aven Colony presents a vibrant and believable vision of extraterrestrial colonization. The environments are rich with colorful alien flora, unusual geological formations, and impressive planetary vistas. Buildings and infrastructure are detailed and functional, helping colonies feel alive as they expand across the landscape. Combined with atmospheric music and polished sound design, the presentation successfully reinforces the feeling of building humanity's future on a distant world. While the game excels in many areas, it is not completely without shortcomings. Some veteran city-building fans may find certain management systems less intricate than those found in more simulation-focused titles. As players gain experience, a few mechanics can become somewhat predictable, and portions of the late game may emphasize expansion more than innovation. However, these issues do little to diminish the overall quality of the experience, particularly because the setting and environmental challenges remain compelling throughout. Aven Colony delivers an enjoyable blend of strategy, survival, and science-fiction worldbuilding. Its alien setting, engaging resource management, diverse environmental hazards, and accessible progression system combine to create a memorable city-building experience. Whether players are drawn to the narrative campaign or the freedom of sandbox mode, the game offers a satisfying journey that captures the excitement and difficulty of establishing a civilization on another planet. Rating: 7/10
