This colony & city-state sim is peak "streamlined complexity": a large skill ceiling for those who like to experiment or min/max, but still extremely accessible to people like me who are usually turned off by complexity when it's not rewarding or feels like a slog to push through.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Don't let the graphics turn you off, the aesthetic really works and the simplicity allows for huge battles without stutters, lag or crashes.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Soundtrack: Good overall soundtrack, nothing crazy but not annoying and feels right for the setting of the game.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
