Microcivilization Reviews

Better than most Civ games. Addicting and fun.

It was a fun little game when I bought it. But instead of polishing, slightly expanding and releasing it in promised «Between 8 to 14 months» developer decided to go bonkers with all unnecessary mechanics and features that change game genre. Every second item on EA roadmap not implemented instead we received glimpses of what Tiear 3 and Tier 4 should be, and nobody asked for that. Waste of money

Fun little game, but I played it before the most recent update.

this game really needs a screen saver / idle mode. i can only click so many times before my finger literally hurts. great game tho...

Can't say I'm a fan. I like idle games i can just come back and check on, games where i can grow or advance at MY pace not having to babysit non-stop. With the way the population in this game grows, you have to be always juggling food/housing, as you can't stop the growth one way or another, you're either making pop or starving pop, and if you overpop your buildings, you just create vagabonds which eventually leads to a plague that just kills everyone, so there's no just letting the game run and coming back, it needs you to hold its hand the whole time. Seems charming enough, there's some good stuff under the hood from the hour or so I played, but again, it doesn't feel like an idle game since I have to constantly manage it. Maybe make it so players can choose to create a population, instead of forcing it to happen, otherwise lose the idle tag?

It's a difficult game in the beginning as there is a few traps you can fall into. The game loop is a bit boring since some things just take time and there's not a lot you can do to speed it up. I highly recommend an auto-clicker if you want to play this, it will help you tremendously. It's a fun enough game if you like management and rogue like progression, though like I mentioned it can be a bit frustrating.

It reminds me of flash games. The game is well made, it's just interesting enough for the high price. Get it when it's on sale if you really want to play the game

It's early access and I'm fine with the rough edges that come with that tag, but the few updates that have been released since it's launch have made both the gameplay even more frustrating (for an idle game no less) and has the ability to set fire to your CPU, because "optimization" is all over the place, and not in a good way. It looks like a really great game and I have enjoyed it at launch, but after 16 months I can safely say that this game is not going in the right direction for me (and probably most people seeing the tags clicker/idle).

Difficulty completely unbalanced! The gameplay is never pleasant You're either overpowered or loose a 4 hours run and get stuck because the difficulty just jump for no reason 50 times. If you want click just go a cookie factory free browser game.

Not presently playable. Barely alpha quality with random progression deadlocks in research tree, and impossible victory conditions. Dev is unconcerned about user reviews or retention so DO NOT BUY. Will try again at 1.0 and report back.
