Reviews
This game defined the genre for its time. It is a good city builder - even today. It is challenging though and not at all relaxed so be prepared for a struggle. It's part of the fun though. Can't believe this game is nearly 12 years old now.
Schönes Spiel, habe viele Stunden gespielt, aber leider nicht mehr am Zahn der Zeit der Aufbauspiele.

I am addicted to this game. The challenges, planning my town, seeing how it grows and just having fun is why I keep coming back. It's my go-to game to just relax, have fun and see what happens.
hunderds of hours of gameplay, then you start to mod
hands down one of the best city builders around. i pirated it years ago and loved it so much that i bought it. the start of the game is all about strategy and taking it slow. the first hour of a new save is exciting but nerve wracking. making crop farms and hunters cabins are your best bet to keep on top of food. after you have food sorted out, its onto clothes, tools, firewood etc etc. its not difficult once you get the hang of it, but definitely take it slow and dont be too ambitious when you first start. after you have everything sorted production wise, its a great game to just switch off your brain and play. i love this game, highly recommended to any city builder enjoyers.
Definitely worth playing. I have played this a fair amount. I'm currently working on another city. I can say, if ya like city building this is pretty good. I recommend it. Stay sharp with your tasks of fulfilling the people's needs or else it can be hard to gain ground after, but is still managable. Your people don't live forever, and there's a trade of where sometimes the old pass and the young ones don't age as fast as you would like to be used for labour. LOL .... Keeping vigilant will have good rewards with building a huge metrolpolis.
The tutorials are very fast and after you finish them there is very little direction given to you on how to proceed. I have played further and you can figure it out just trying different things. I am actually making some progress now, and I find myself enjoying the challenge.
Von 3 Spieldurchläufen hat mich in allen davon der Hunger heimgesucht. Während sich meine ersten beiden Kolonien nicht davon erholt haben, scheint die 3. momentan wiederzukommen. Macht auf jeden Fall Spaß, werde mich aber wohl demnächst auch mal mit den Mods auseinandersetzen :)
One of the best city builders ever made. Still holds up over a decade after its release.
still one of the best colony sims
