Settlement Survival Reviews

Terrific fun

just a bad version of The Universim

good game the tech area is very good too

First town failed when happiness plummeted and my citizens began murdering each other. Before my sheriff died, she identified one of the killers as a 5-year old girl.

Very difficult game to play, to much info and understanding how it all works. Built a town hall and got hit with as plague. Lost half my population. They need to get rid of plagues and hunger in the game. Requested a refund.

Funny, easy to understand, hard to master. The normal difficulty is challenging. Recommended if you like the genere.

its fun but so fun is the tiny icons, i can barely see them (I have vision issues) and that tutorial was useless because it was so tiny i couldn't make out the words can you make it so all the icons can be made bigger for us folks with vision issues

Game needs a lot more polishing. Besides that it has a basic and boring gameplay loop, it also has a lot of bugs. The amount of content isn't really worth your money either. The game somewhat works and functional but it isn't really enjoyable, and it probably wouldn't be even if there wasn't so many glitches. I would suggest to look for many better options for city builder games.

I want to give this about a 6/10, so if it's a recommend/not recommend type of situation, I'll recommend it. I'm a casual gamer and this has just become a little too much complexity to stop being fun for me. There is *a lot* to manage. I'd say it's very close to the feel of Banished, if you've ever played that, but I think this is game is slightly better. I'd say I usually play until *just* when I get to mid game. Games that become too complex become unfun for me at this stage and so I stop playing, but I can see I've probably only played through 25% of this game. I'd give any other game of this genre and complexity a 5/10, but both the rough poly ui and the controls to play (pretty intuitive) add an extra point. I think I bought this on sale, but I normally would not pay for a game like this for regular price. It's not really my niche, but I like to dip my toes in, get my feet wet every once in awhile. This is a game that I can come back to though, should I ever feel the itch again. However, it reinforces my ideas about this genre and the ideas of what fun is for a game like this. My suggestion would be a better tutorial mode where it basically just tells you the optimal building and the placement to teach you about the game, *while in the game*. I think it's really easy to be overcome by disease or broken bones or whatever that you essentially start over with like 2 citizens and you're just holding out until immigrants can come to boost your population again. That isn't fun for me and when it keeps happening each game (despite different build priorities or different settlement spots), I have to then go outside the game to learn about the game and how to play it. I don't want to continue to keep building settlements which keep failing at "stage 4" when there are "100 stages" (analogy). Show me how it's intended to be played, why the choice to pick that building and why it's being placed where it's being placed. I don't know if a system like that can exist, but it would make the game more accessible, I think. TL;DR: it's a little too complex after a certain point which causes the game to be unfun *for me*. 6/10

Would love to recommend this game, but the developer has never gotten the save feature to work right. It is like playing Russian roulette when you save your game, or if the game auto saves. The game will randomly crash during auto saves or manual saves. Just lost an hour of game play when I clicked save. I won't even bother with any games from this developer or publisher if they can't get even the most basic feature of their game.
