Uagi Saba is a beautiful and relaxing game that you can and will get lost in for hours. I have followed the creation of this game for a while now and I have to say that the game does not dissapoint. 10/10

A fascinating setting and a unique artstyle on top of relatively simple gameplay with an effective tutorial. I highly recommend this cute-monster breeding game if you're at all interested in how to solve staffing quarters issues in a massive series of underground ruins and cavers.

One of the best creature breeder's I've played. Also has some base building elements like what you would find in something like fallout shelter. The art is gorgeous and the game has such a cozy feeling to it in general. Def recommend.

I enjoyed this game a great deal, but encountered recurring bugs. At some point in every game, I got a white pop-up window mentioning some sort of fatal error that then crashed my game. I think this was well worth what I spent for the journey, but it would have been nice to be able to see the ending, as well.

I have very mixed feelings about this game, but I feel inclined to express my inner critic.
Uagi-Saba is a great game on paper. A little, chill, slow-paced colony sim about raising giant creatures and trying to rebuild society in a deep underground world. Plus, its module-based base growth system similar to fallout shelter is easy to understand, the little tidbits of lore scattereed around show a fully fleshed-out world, and the art style makes it a dream to look at. It's defenitely a nice cozy game.
However, it's only that: a nice cozy game. Not a good cozy game, not a memorable cozy game, JUST a NICE cozy game, and even that's stretching it a bit thin.
The gameplay is very slow, which is a mixed bag depending on who you ask, the noble guardians you raise are about as sturdy as a card house with several needs and heavy resource drain, and the module-based expansion makes correcting your mistakes either nigh impossible, very costly, or both.
I feel somewhat bad about saying these things, because this game is clearly a work of passion with enough charm and style to choke a horse. With a bit more polish and balancing, this game could've been great. Instead, it's a mediocre digital slog priced at a whopping $15.00.
5/10
Built like a cheap chocolate bunny: Boundless charm, hollow interior, and not very filling.

The same song and dance that we hear so many times before. The games good BUT..... it needs some tweaking , minor bugs , blah early access , blah , blah. To me its like trying your luck at slot machines or something like that. You sink your time and money into some game and you hope to hit a jackpot of fun for awhile. That sums up a lot of games in this stage of development. The price is fair and if you cant afford that then you might need to find a new hobby really. The bottom line is for me yes i like it and since i already bought it im in for the ride to the end and i hope it turns out for the best.

So... I just got off the game after an hour and I'm still not quite sure how to describe my experience with it. Just think a 'dafuq' expression of that one Professor Snape meme and you would get the gist of how I'm doing about now. So where to start?
I've been looking for a game like Uagi-Saba for a while. A game where you can interact and have a grand ol' time of raising and nurturing some fine creatures down a series of generations for funsies. Creatures, but with a more modern artistic update if you will. Uagi-Saba does that.
It sets you up with a possible line of story about 'an ancient race going off and colonizing a world while keeping a last great creature in slumber... Yadda, yadda, yadda' (which is actually pretty intriguing to think about as you realize by the designs the sort of pseudo-advanced tribal stone lifestyle going around throughout the game) and then throws you straight into the little modular base management gameplay. From there, it's essentially a balance between pumping up your resources (or so far, as it is in the early access) and keeping the denizens of your underground world safe and happy.
Very straightforward stuff and I usually would enjoy a nice game to kind of veg out to while casually enjoy the children of my first Mystics running around and proclaiming their superiority to the rest of the inhabitants of this brave new world.
But, really, the game is very clunky right now. The screen movement even with the intuitive WASD keys were way too slow for my taste and manueverability to keep my oven and fermentation thingy going with as little break as possible was deterred by said slow screen movements. As I was trying to rename my Mystic, pressing 'P' paused the screen even though I was already in the 'naming' field. Manuevering from inhabitant details to base movement again is not very intuitive. While the game itself is an interesting game in a genre that I love to explore, the game as it is right now still have some more polishing off to get rid of those few bugs and some more tweaks to do.
Moreover, I'm impressed that this game is made by a single person. Keep up the good work, dude!

I was excited upon finding this game that seems inspired by the old game Creatures, though I didn't play it, I like genetics games. Currently I do not find this game very engaging. The pace is extremely slow, made slower by the lack of speed options. There are some design choices that limit my entertainment. The creatures cannot walk around or interact with each other or the environment. They sit in their room, being animated simply to breathe and not much else. Additionally I notice it's been a long while since the game was updated...

Uagi-saba is one of those games that makes the world better for existing. It has such an amazing art style that has been expertly hand painted and is unique to this awesome developer. There is an great amount of depth to the games mechanics but its easy enough to get going once you understand the basics. The mystics are incredible and the genetics system is really unique. The sound and music is also extremly well made and adds to this immersive and relaxing game. You can tell that the developer loves this game and that is always a pleasure to see.
I have watched this game being developed over several years on the developers Twitch channel and its amazing to play something I have been following with such interest for so long.
I strongly recomend this game and cannot wait to play the finished version. Support a great developer and buy this game.
