Really nice distillation of Civ formulae. It captures all the essence of a 4X really well. The format is really good for short games of a few hours. Decisions are meaningful and you dont get bogged down in crazy micro-management, even in endgames. Some cons is that the UI can use a few QOL. Overall, very impressive game design and execution.

This is an interesting game, that I first tried early in early access and came back to once it was released. As a deckbuilder and 4X game it covers two of my favourite genres and kept me entertained until I got the last achievement on the hardest difficulty. As others have commented it does seem to be resource heavy, especially once you get GPS on a higher hex difficulty. And sometimes crashes rather than closes on exit. The game can feel difficult at times early on, but as you learn the technologies and what works well together it becomes easier. Personally I think Hex level 0 is perfectly doable with no meta progression. If you are struggling the following may help:- - Make sure to kill the scouts that come snooping around, this slows down barbarian attacks. - Attack from hills where possible and make use of flanking bonuses, by keeping your combat units at least paired up. - Don't send your main combat units to far from your cities early on, inside your borders you have more options for healing them between turns. - Learn which cards are good for deck management and flow, and to a lesser extent library management.

I love that each difficulty level introduces some new change! Very original! Also, the fourth leader makes the game a bit RPGish. I love that I can play through a 4x within a few hours gameplay. And all of this is created by a solo dev!

It’s fun! Kind of like Old World and Civilization, but as a fast-paced 4X. Not at all simple or easy. I spent 4 hours on the first map (“tutorial”) — the enemies remind me of Old World: tough! I definitely recommend it to any 4X fan.

Looks like crap, but the game design is crack. I just wish there was more. More map types, more leaders, and whatever else. The music soundtrack is actually really good too.

Cool and unique mix of 4X strategy and deckbuilding. It's got some rough edges, but it kept me playing for 60 hours over the course of the first four days of me owning it.

Sadly, while the gameplay loop is moderately fun, that's about the end of the "good". The dev had a cool idea with adding rogue-like elements to a Civ style game, but ultimately failed to make it fun. The Barbarians (the main and I guess only enemy) always seem to be ahead of you on tech no matter what you do. Have fun fighting tanks with swordsmen. The game also uses emojis for in-game icons almost as if it were designed to be a mobile game which detracts a lot from the experience for me. Is the game worth $20? Absolutely not. If it seems like something you'd really enjoy, maybe spend $5-$10 on it. Maybe it will be improved upon in the future and be worth more, we'll see. I think the game has a decent foundation, so there is potential here. I'm also certainly not trying to take a dump on it as I have mad respect for solo developers. I hope things work out as I believe the game only recently hit 1.0

It's an interesting idea, but just isn't very compelling in the end. Too fiddly, not well-balanced, and the AI rules are annoying. Particularly the one where you build a space shuttle and therefore the enemy is going to summon literally dozens of units from out of nowhere. OK idea, poor execution, bad design.

I wish there was a "maybe" button, because while it's a fun game, but there are some glaring flaws. Here are the pros: Its a Roguelike deckbuilding Its a Civilization game There's Ascension for each characters and each characters unlock new things as you play with them (relics and cards) The last unlockable character has an interesting gameplay gimmick that changes how you build your deck and how you play the game. Cons: Early game is too difficult and require grinding to unlock some metaprogression to make it possible to even win the game. For the last 2 characters, if you manage to destroy all the barbarian encampmennt, no more barbarian can spawn which makes the game boring (no more threat) and can softlock you for the last unlockable character since one of his units needs to level up to win the game. No workshop (for the time being) Religion seems shallow (only used for rerolling cards, relics, researchs, breakthrought and some units). It could be better. More characters, having a workshop, a deeper use of religion or a new type of resources (culture for exemple) would make this game a better version of Civilization 6 and that shouldn't be hard.

The game is interesting as a light-weight take on a Civilization style game, but also an interesting experiment in use of AI. There's appeal in AI enabling a single (or small) dev-team to produce a small game at a cheap price. Maybe cheaply made is fine, if it's a cheap, and decent game. Well, that's the issue. It's not a cheap game. This is before getting into the separate debate about AI-ethics and artistic labor: AI is used to produce a game more cheaply here, but ultimately it's release price is 14-16 ish Euro/GBP/Dollars. That's just ridiculous. On top of that, the “surprise 1.0” release is undercooked: [list] [*]Game lacks any graphics settings except resolution [*]No keybind settings and generally few hotkeys [*] The game is also a CPU-hog, even when idle on a turn (given how simple it is, it has no business using so much CPU in relatively idle game situations: it'll jog your CPU as much as civ6 on a large map midgame save). [/list]
