I played the demo of this game during Next Fest. It had stunning visuals, but the gameplay didn’t really grab me.
Same. I had my eye on this because anything that remotely looks like the next Pharaoh or Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom always catches my eye. There was also so. much. micro. I’d rather be shuffling citizens or buildings around than manually selecting what plants to harvest. Plus I hate the name, lol.
I’ll probably check it out again after 1.0.
Bought it and have played 10-15h or so. The game definitely needs something to add some staying power. It’s way too chill. I know there’s a subset of people that want that and they could still continue to offer it (like Dyson Sphere Program adding optional combat). Something to make you have to work for it other than the really non-issue of citizens being very briefly injured while picking if you don’t pay attention.
It is beautiful however. Graphics and UI are both very well done.
