~I guess I'm just a dumbass, but the tutorial tells me to do things that don't exist. The music is awesome though.~ Ok it's true, I am a dumbass. My son picked up this game and he's loving it.

The game is fun. Mechanics are easy to understand and follow a complexifying tech tree that's classic for the auomation games. The "island" configuration, coupled with the requirement of having a tower defense for every single island stops any "crazy" factory plan. Recipes are usually capped at 3 different source ingredients which is a welcome restriction given said island configuration. Weapons are bought, not built, with incremental cost to keep the game balanced. You must alternate between set ups according to the ennemies of each spawn point instead of just providing overwhelming firepower of a mass built turret. The game effieciency is not quite up to par though. You can fnish the main scenario successfully, but trying a new game + with crazy ideas to mass generate spawns and killzones will just make the game lag and generate errors.

It is a fun short game! I was expecting a lot more to it honestly, like Factorio or Satisfactory, maybe they will keep putting out content!

有点一般 主要是23年的游戏现在入手玩起来依旧是和评论里说的一样 并且我半天找不到那个黄带红的碎块在哪个 半天做不出黄色药水 给我整麻了 虫子蜘蛛骷髅史莱姆老鼠宝箱怪都打了 没一个提示的 而且地图上的障碍物也请不掉 就是来恶心产线的

So this is basically a tower defence game with automation, you use the resources the enemies drop to build and progress, and the different enemy traits are a bit of a puzzle as well, it's a clever idea and well executed in my opinion. I wouldn't say there's tons of replayability but I definitely got my moneys worth.

This is a good game and also a better game for this price point. If you are new to automation game this would be a good start to get into the concept of genre down without having too many processes to maintain and rebuild at times. It will easy you into the grind of optimizing your system to your liking while proving you a pleasing art style. Long story short, It fun when you processing system works when you don't forget to block off an access leak leading to your death. If you are familiar with automation games you will see some quirks that make the process difficult in a bad way like in my opinion an over reliance of raw materials to create anything and some items being obsolete. For example sand worm in my current out of the game are useless outside of using them to purchase early game weapons. They are mainly used to produce conveyors and walls but I've produced enough to cover every square inch of 14 islands so as of now its almost no reason to process sand worms and sorter are not used to make advance sorters so outside of one recipe its no reason to create sorters or use normal sorter. I'll be looking forward for any future updates and Mob Factory 2
