random map seed, different difficulty settings...game can be paused to plan what and where to build... then put back into 3 different speeds of time flow... simple but nice graphics and calm music... you can run this game on very old pc, no high hardware requirements... recommend for players who like colony building sims
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music soundtrack and how it's done is unique and awesome, I love it.
