SpaceSlog

A great little colony sim, very reminiscent of Starship Theory but deeper and grittier. Whilst it shares the same 2D top-down style as RimWorld (who borrowed it from Prison Architect), it's not RimWorld and has a deeper simulation of air pressure, and space flight - things RimWorld can't pretend to do even with the Odyssey DLC. This is the advantage of a dedicated space sim over a mod. If you're coming from RimWorld, have a little patience to learn how to do things over again, then you'll start to really appreciate what it has to offer. If you love a survival challenge - this is for you! For an Early Access game it's remarkably complete. The solo developer has been working hard on it for 5 years, and there're more features on the roadmap. It'll be interesting to see how it develops throughout Early Access. A great addition to the colony sim lineage. The world needs more! :)

Has potential, but the content just isn't here yet to justify the $22+ price tag. It is a very early alpha. Having it on Steam right now is more about helping the dev out with developing the game much more so than it is having an enjoyable playing experience. That's fine as long as the consumer knows what they are getting into. There's no researching, so you don't get new tech or things to build. There's no moving of placed items (you have to deconstruct and reconstruct). There's a limited amount of things you can actually make. The tutorial is incomplete. This game DOES have the potential to be something special, but it is just too early in its development for the asking price IMO. It needs to cook a lot more.

This game is Early Access, but it has a LOT of potential to reach the popularity of the giants in the genre. This is Rimworld in space and the inspiration it takes from that and other popular IP's is very evident. Just be aware Spaceslog is still in it's infancy. Looking forward to it's ongoing development.

Edit: After a couple not so successful runs - I would start with "Resourcefulness" for now. I think the start is pretty challenging, and you want to give yourself every opportunity for success. While not required, engineering 6 also lets you deal with basic needs. Heat is an issue near stars, so make sure you have vents. Overall, definitely Rimworld in space, I would echo in another six months there should be enough content to really flesh out your ship (though it looks like the workshop already has items, which is crazy.) Short version: Rimworld in space. This has the bones already. If you haven't played Rimworld, the tutorial is pretty short right now, so some advanced mechanics may be more challenging to figure out! Long version: This game is certainly inspired by Rimworld and, to its credit, does a good job of creating systems and mechanics that feel intuitive, much like Rimworld. Right now, a lot of the core mechanics are there, but without a more significant initial tutorial system through flight, some may struggle to get into the rhythm. I would guess this will be huge in six months, it scratches a very similar itch to Rimworld.

A really good game. I enjoy it a lot, and I definitely recommend it to many people.

Very promising colony sim

Hier fehlt einfach noch so gut wie alles – Early Access hin oder her. Mehr als 5–6 Module lassen sich nicht bauen, und das Erforschen neuer Inhalte ist nicht möglich. Die Ressourcen zum Überleben sind nicht einmal ansatzweise ausbalanciert. Die Idee ist gut, aber für eine spielbare Early-Access-Version ist das so nicht geeignet.

Pretty fun so far and has the bones to be a worthy successor to Starship Theory.

This game has potential and the author is very responsive and open to hearing what you have to say and take suggestions. As of right now, there is'nt to much in the game, and is insanly slow paced but still enjoyable. I've come over some weird issues here and there, but that's to be expected in a early access game. I think this in the end will become a very playable game and replayable.

Pretty challenging but fun colony sim. I really enjoy the ship building system. You could say the game is a bit rough around the edges, but it's enjoyable regardless. Cool to see native Linux support.
