主船不能升级,科技感不足~
Flotsam é um jogo divertido onde você basicamente constrói uma cidade flutuante. O jogo tem uma história principal (a main quest) e histórias secundárias (side quests). Porém para que você possa desbloquear certas tecnologias é preciso completar as side quests. Entretanto, você pode avançar direto somente pela história principal se quiser. Completei o jogo em +/- 50 horas (pois quis rearranjar toda a minha cidade - o arquiteto do jogo é meu pastor e nada me faltará!) e só lá pra perto do fim senti o jogo um pouco cansativo com o grinding. Vale ressaltar que o mapa do jogo é enorme e gerado randomicamente (procedural). Pra mim é um jogo nota 7.5 A questão maior mesmo é a falta de grandes desafios... ok, seus drifters podem morrer de fome ou até de doenças, mas é tudo resolvivel com um grinding básico. Fora isso, no começo você até consegue ter uma relação orgânica com seus drifters, mas qdo vc começa a ter 15,20, etc deles, as coisas ficam muito mecânicas. No geral eu recomendo pois não é um jogo caro e se você gosta de jogos no estilo Oxigen not Included vai se divertir (mas vale ressaltar que ele é beeeem menos complexo e por isso, mais fácil).

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Absolutely adorable and I feel was a great introduction into colony sim type games ! The main unique characteristic of it being a travelling colony makes it a bit more forgiving when it comes to the resource management aspects of it ! Would definitely give it another play if they do some major changes/updates along the way of its current development.
Flotsam seemed like a fun, cute, and easy to learn colony sim. It was disappointing. The mechanics are shallow, the story is forced where there is any, progression is arbitrarily locked behind odd material requirements... the game feels clunky and railroaded right from the start where in previews it looks incredibly interesting and flexible. Unfortunately there is not really any significant decisions to make, as every new encounter or problem that arises is a one-dimensional solution that is built-in to be your go-to, instead of allowing any creativity. It's a fun premise and a cool genre combination, but it falls short of being worthwhile to play for veterans from other colony sims IMO.
Solid water world colony sim with a fun loop.
Well made and it scratches the itch.
Muito bom.
Da pra perder um tempo se divertindo, curto porém gostoso de jogar.
Loving this game.
Mellow and very entertaining. It's a very laid back, floating city builder. I saw it first on Pirate Software, and picked it up a few weeks later. It's still in development, but I have had no issues with gameplay. It wouldn't initially start up on my pc (linux), but I did an update a few days later and it runs smoothly now. Dev seems to be working hard to improve it, but it's already a great game.
