Adam banged everybody and then died, Legendary experience.
This game is amazing! I've been following development through its early access (watched like all the JessiMew playthroughs she did) and the development team rlly took in the feedback and polished the game to what it is today. The ui may be a bit hard to understand at first, and the tutorial is a bit sparse, but the fact that the mutation menu has locked items helps ease you into the multitude of genes that this game has. I rlly like that they have genes that exist irl, including the mode of transmission (like with hemophilia being X-linked)! The nicheling models are absolutely adorable too and you can make quite a fun variety! It's a fun game loop for me, you travel island to island, mutate your nichelings to fit your new environment, rinse and repeat. I like inventing stories for each island, adding colorful gems to represent certain beliefs, tribes and other events (it's also nice that the game files let you add extra gem colors). There's a lot of food options, dangers and climates, making the game loop not feel repetitive. I also like that it's turn based, giving you time to think through mutations, match ups and stories, it feels nice and calm. All in all, if you're looking for a chill game with cute critters that you can evolve any way you like, look no further. This might just be the game for you <3
eu gostei bastante apesar de ate hoje não entender como o game funciona mas é legal muito bom
funny furry eugenics game
I like this game, I play it sometimes
oh my god this game is soooo fun!
This is a super cool game! You create a nation of these adorable creatures called "Nichelings" and each indivisual is super unique! They're are a lot of diferant genes that your Nichelings can have and you're goal (in Story Mode) is to get back to your home island.
Мне хватило 10 минут игры, чтобы больше никогда не захотеть в неё заходить и вернуть за покупку деньги. С самого начала нас обязывают в качестве туториала пройти историю ГГ, что неплохо и исчерпывающе показывает механику игры. Я понимаю, что генетика - это бесконечное повторение действий во время селекции, но давать 3 действия в день с самого начала (при этом каждый шаг - действие, не говоря уже о сборе фруктов), после которых персонаж обязан пойти спать, это интересное решение... Тебе нужно как-то заставить персонажа выжить, а он даже дойти до еды не может за день. Игра превращается в симулятор ходьбы. Ведь до генетической части игры нужно ж ещё добраться. Видимо, пешком.))) Дальше - управление. Для 3д-игры с шестигранными клетками управление неудобно абсолютно. Приходится каждый раз тупить и мучительно вспоминать, как же там совершить действие. Какие-то поиски, забагованный поиск других животных, а верхнее меню с жизненно необходимой частью параметров, как оказалось, я вообще у себя на макбуке не вижу... Попытки самостоятельно исправить это недоразумение ни к чему не привели, и это и стало толчком к возврату игры. Дальше процитирую себя из текста с причиной возврата: "Возможно, это просто не мой тип бесконечно повторяющегося контента плюс проблемы игры на маке". Субъективные 1/10, балл за идею.
