This game is very addictive - TRY IT ! you wont be sorry :-)
Fun game. Real fun :)
Worth it on sale if you want to dump a few hours, gameplay is repetitive after first playthrough.
I love this game, I bought it from Greenman as part of a bundle and didnt think much of it at all until I started playing it and then ended up spending a good 5 hours non stop. I love RTS games and this is like no other, mechanics and graphics are literally out of this world, every bit of detail is pixel perfect. I really like the guassian blur around the edges as you walk around and pan the camera around it is a nice touch. I will be following this developer and hope they come out with new stories with the same engine of this game because it is one of the best in its class.
Anno im Wilden Westen. Fun!
I would categorize this as a "cozy" game along with typical farming games, so the "relaxing" tag is very appropriate. It is not difficult or stressful, some may find it boring, but it has certain elements that make it satisfying, like reaching milestones and the mining activities. It does get a little repetitive after a while, but all in all, it's a nice polished game to help you chill for an hour or two. The graphics are also very nice and cute, like a little toy town.
Is good
Tohle byla skvělá hra, skvělý relax. Kombinace her Anno 1800 a SteamWorld Dig je kupodivu velmi zábavná a oba herní styly se průběžně prolínají celým hraním. Nejprve je potřeba postavit prosperující městečko a postupně se postarat o všechny druhy obyvatel. Každý z nich má své specifické potřeby, každý chce jiné zboží. No hotové Anno. Po krátkém čase se vám zpřístupní důl. Tady se dostáváme do zajímavé těžící části hry, kdy v podzemí stavíme ubikace pro zaměstnance. Jedni těží, jiní opravují, další nosí suroviny. Po vytěžení prvního patra dolu se zpřístupní temnější patro, kde poznáme první nepřátelé. S nimi si poradí nová třída důlních pracantů – stráž. A také nové zbraně. Po celou dobru hraní je důležité dbát na blaho svých obyvatel, jelikož jejich počty souvisí i s důlními stroji, které se nesmí zastavit. Hra obsahuje menší doplňující příběh a vaším cílem je opravit poškozenou raketu, jejichž součástky jsou právě ve všech patrech onoho dolu. Posledním krokem je sehnat raketové palivo, což je dost pokročilá mechanika hry. Odletem rakety hra končí a příběh také. Nechybí ani tradiční obchod s okolím. Tady je ovšem poměrně zjednodušený tím, že co pět minut přijede vlak pro zboží, které máte nastavené na prodej. Součástí obchodu jsou i speciální předměty, které slouží na vylepšení výrobních i komerčních budov, nebo důlních strojů. Vlastně něco podobného jako v Anno 1800. Grafická stylizace, hudba, to vše se povedlo na jedničku. Hra je opravdu chill, nikdo vás nehodí, vše jde dělat pomalu relaxačním tempem. Což oceňuji. Pro: Parádní grafika, hudba a zvuky, dva herní styly, spousta možností co dělat a co vylepšovat. Proti: Příběh působí tak nějak navíc.
Really fun game. great to play mechanics of the game is good as there are a lot of mines and your world running in the background. Definetly very grindy towards the end. Was a bit dissapointed with the dlc doesn't really add much. 8/10 overall
This is the last one of the Steam world games I hadn't played. Every steam world title really is great and worth your time. This one is a great little game that is a crossover of a townbuilder, digging and tower defence-ish game. The townbuilding bit is not that super in depth but easy to pick up and play. I liked the combo, it is addictive. The story is about 10 h long, a bit predictable but OK. After completing the story there are several scenarios with some special situations that will keep the game going for longer. The game is polished and I didn't experience any problems, but I would have liked to have some analytical tools, like to be able to highlight important roads to upgrade etc. Some features were not introduced that well, so it took some trail and error to get some of them. Some of the bulidings I didn't really get why I needed to build them, especially late game. Like the one for Art, maybe the artworks ware going to bring in a lot of cash if I sold them, I don't know. I will still continue to play it to beat all the scenarios. I give the game a 7,8/10.
