Colony 37

Fun to play game. Cheap, basic but with many hours of game to play. Lots of upgrades for equipment available. Developer currently highly engaged with players.

very good game

A fine and surprisingly content rich addition to the “Hole Digging” subgenre. Instead of just being a dude shoveling through his backyard, you play a contracted miner working to pay off debt. As you dig, there are sub levels that challenge you with Deus Ex/Half Life exploration and environmental puzzle solving to complete objectives. Resource management adds to the tension. Hunger, thirst, and oxygen management all play roles in how far you will go before doubling back to safety. Lots of tool unlockables and meta progression with stat boosts add to the experience, making it less shallow and more engaging than other digging games. An absolute steal for $3. I strongly recommend!

This is a fun little game from a developer who seems to care deeply about crafting an enjoyable experience for the players. This is a game about exploration; one that definitely does not hold your hand, so it is important to simply go and explore everything. I personally have had fun playing it and continue to watch for every update that comes along. If you like crafting, mining and survival with a decent amount of challenge, then this game is for you. To any one who decides to pick this game up, give it some time and be patient. There are some really nice moments in the game so far and worth the effort.

I like the steam review system because it doesn't ask you to rate the game as good, bad or neutral, it asks you [u]"Would you recommend this game to other players?"[/u] And for this game I honestly would not recommend it to other players unless they [b]REALLY[/b] loved "digging down" games (yes there are a few of these). It's not a bad game at all, it was merely "ok". This price is very reasonable at $3 US, so that's not an issue at all, even $5 would have been fine, $10?... I don't think so. I did run into a few software bugs where explosions camera shaking pushed me outside of the map and that also happened when exiting some of the quest areas below behind the doors that open and close, just adding some feedback. I will say that the first half of the game was much more enjoyable than the last half of the currently available content. The last several biomes just felt like a chore and I didn't have anything to spend credits on past the Permafrost biome. The developer does promptly answer questions in steam discussions which is a nice plus. If you're on the fence about buying the game I'd recommend watching a video on YouTube to get a better idea if you think you'd like it. If you're really dying to dig a massive hole then it's probably worth your $3.

Рекомендую.

Its a great game, worth so much more then the dev is asking for. and the dev is stil working hard to improve it. However, because its a single dev who has big plans for the game i get the impression he is overwhelmed with the amount of work. the bug fixes are slow, and there are game breaking bugs that need fixing. so is it worth playing: YES. do you need to have patience when game breaks: yes. but you wont regret buying or playing

This isn't a $3 game, its a $30 game. Yup, its a digging in a big box game like we've seen, but the developers make it feel like a REALLY deep box with fun tools and weapons. There are LOTS of tools, weapons, perks, equipment, different environments. The radiation and hazardous environments are fun and dangerous and yet manageable. The graphics are on par with the original game Unreal. The soundtrack seems to be EVE Online inspired and enjoyable but limited. It clearly is an early access game but it hasn't crashed yet on me. I wish Hardspace: Shipbreaker had the variety and wider scope of this game, while I wish this game had the physics of Hardspace. But I'm already having more fun with this game. I wish it leaned harder into a storyline, especially a prison one. I absolutely loved Escape from Butcher Bay and feel like the developer has the chops for a great game like that. I write very, very few reviews even though I play hundreds of games. This is worth MUCH more than I bought it for and I'm still having fun with it. (Get the flaregun, its really good!)
