Utopia

I don't know why this game looks and plays almost exactly like the game Islanders, but seems to be developed and published by a different company, and to be honest, I have no interest in doing the research to find out. To be clear though, this game is incredibly dull compared to Islanders. There is almost no reason to build one building instead of another and the game floods you with copies of the same handful of buildings making everything quickly feel pointless. Utopia feels and looks like a straight up theft of Islanders, left to die half way through its development. It's not even worth its sale price.

It's an "Islander" rip-off just much worse. Refund @Developer: Please let me apologize for not understanding your magnificent game. I hope you will accept that my small mind requested a refund as I can not grasp the beauty behind your creation and thus it would be wasted on me.

In short - this game is a repetitive grind. Inspiration in the way of Islanders is readily apparent, though this game is anything but. The gameplay bears surface similarities, but whereas Islanders constantly has you figuring out best building placements, in this game the only decisions you make are a) where you put the hub for specific type buildings; b) how you fit said buildings on the grid around it. Oh, I'm sure there's more gameplay intricacies and buildings and so on. Trouble is, I have to keep playing the same-looking islands the same darn way every time so I can unlock ONE variety of building available on the next island, only to discover that it plays the exact same way as the ones I already have. Oh, the houses are stone now? Great. Doesn't change ANYTHING about how I place them. Say what, I got a NEW type of field... that doesn't interact with pretty much anything I've unlocked so far. Amazing. Such gameplay, much diverse. I have some notes on the quality of the graphics style and the chaotic UI as well but hey - it's not terrible and sometimes even does its job fairly well. Overall, this is an admirable try at a simplistic city builder and it might be worth the price if you're looking to take a break from Islanders and play sth hella repetitive while you listen to some podcasts in the background. I'd give it a neutral review if that was an option, but I can't in clear conscience give it a good one - it's simply not a good game. It's too repetitive and grindy for me to enjoy. Maybe it gets better later (I doubt it), but that doesn't justify the beginning being so dull.

If you haven't played ISLANDERS play that instead, it is the stronger game in every way. If you have played and loved ISLANDERS already and want a grid-based twist on its formula Utopia is for you! Just make sure to bring your own lo-fi beats to build/relax to :)

Facebook tier game play. Point and click nonsense. Can't even tereform to link villages.

Вся игра построена на том, что бы вы грамотно расставляли домики по границам, получая за это очки. Очки суммируются в уровни. Дома вокруг статуи, поля вокруг мельницы. Блин, какая же зубодробительная скучища! Просто хрень.

Если вы играли в «ISLANDERS» то данная игра покажется вам до боли знакомой, и вы будете правы – весь игровой процесс перенесён с минимальными отличиями. Концепция проста – имеется остров, который нам предстоит застраивать, расставляя домики таким образом, чтобы они, контактируя друг с другом, приносили максимальное количество очков. Набираем этими самыми очками на уровень – получаем больше зданий – продолжаем стройку. Даже звучит легко, потому полноценной игрой «Utopia» назвать сложно, но она отлично подходит для того, чтобы, неспешно расставлять домики и поля в промежутках между какими-то делами. Резюме: медитативная игра, чтобы ненадолго отвлечься.

Boring and dull. Looks like Godus a low-rent version of Godus. Nothing "soothing" about this game, just annoying.

Игра переняла от Islanders концепцию построения города по очкам. Дизайн напоминает Godus, В целом сама по себе игра неплохая, а в стиме слишком категоричная система оценивания. Но Utopia больше не понравилась, чем понравилась, так что оставлю так, как есть. Дело в том, что Utopia не такая динамичная как Islanders. И это несмотря на то, что и там и там при прохождении на новый уровень, ты начинаешь заново обустраивать остров. Просто в Islanders практически все здания доступны еще в начале, был бы талант их правильно разместить. А в этой игре приходится по крупицам выжимать из нее все соки, а дело это весьма скучное.

Nice, relaxing game. Similar to Islanders but I prefer this one for a few reasons: - Grid lines make for neater building placement. - Positive and negative numbers on buildings are easier for me to see. - Campaign and mission modes are fun. - Developer answers questions and patches bugs quickly.
