Surviving the Abyss

Takes a bit of trial and error to get the hang of, and some things could be better balanced than they are, but on the whole an enjoyable and challenging base builder that's worth a look by fans of the genre.

the game is fun and intresting

Took my sweet time with this, didn't really go for the achivements until second playthrough but managed to take them all in 35 hours in total. That says something about this game: it lacks challange. The concept is great though, I love the deep sea theme although it seems a bit off having sunlight dependent vegetation in the deep sea. It lacks the claustrophobic feeling with the large window and well lit buildings, sure it's pretty but I'd rather have the feeling of tight spaces and darkness. When it comes to game mechanics I miss some features like seeing how many workplaces are vacant, the ability to see details about, and navigate to discovered habitats. Also, why is there really a research option for an outpost when it gets built automatically when exploring a new biome? Here's a short list of what would make the game better: * No automatic outposts when exploring new biomes. Instead: Let the player build one of those submarine landings and assign a tranport submarine to that landing to get access to that new biome. * Make the tunnels cost resources. Powerlines cost resources, why not the tunnels? Concrete and Quartz would be proper materials, perhaps even steel. * Deeper tutorial. I discovered by random that I could shift-click a building to the place down a copy of that building. I also had to discover by myself how to switch off a building entirely or by just temporarily disable a working slot, and for that matter changing the priority of the building. Resource and worker deligation should be taught through the tutorial.

A bit buggy (ran into the unhoused employee bug) and had performance issues mid-late game which required restarts to fix, plus I think some of the game play mechanics are a bit shaky (just using outposts instead of lamps was a bit of a game breaker, and mining subs rapidly lost their usefulness) but overall I quite enjoyed this. Pity it looks like its wrapped up - very pretty, good premise, setting had plenty of opportunities to expand. Worth a play.

Too laggy

cool, unique survival city builder. story has its pros and cons, and not everything is well explained ingame, but the athmosphere and uniqe mechanics really make it up

I like it, but I wish it had more updates. Once again, a game with a premis unique enough that it keeps me engaged far past what the gameplay or mechanics normally would. Difficult early game that is largely trivialized by the time you reach the end. I say largely, because you CAN still become royally screwed if you expand without taking account of all your needed resourses. I think it deserves better reviews than it has, given the fact that there is no other game like it rn. That said it's not for everyone, but there is fun and enjoyment to be had here
