The inability to change the size of UI makes this game impossible.
Game was abandoned a couple of months after releasing a very unpolished and buggy version. Shameful behavior.
Abandoned and not finished.

Автор забил на игру, не доделав самое важное: ИИ, его тупо нет, комп двигает юниты полученые со старта, но сам не развивается. Так что игра максимум на один вечер, развиваться с нуля интересно, но дальнейшая игра не имеет смысла.
I expected a lot more from this game, considering its creator, but despite looking unfinished and suffering from balance problems, it's very pretty and has interesting mechanics. If you catch a big promotion, it's worth it.
mai finito , da evitare
One of the hardest games I have ever played. Think FTL or Hotline Miami in scale of difficulty but worker placement. If you want a real challange or just want a game that you can reastart over and over for fun this is the game for you. With little space, alot of enemies and a few neutrals around you, You need to survive. There is a few different strategies that you could try, useally depending on the autogenerated map you get, but in the end what will be the hardest challange is to get food. To live like scavanges will not really work and the resources are far from infinate. You need to build lasting building with stone to build a real economy and even when you do that the hardest challange will still to get enough food. Even when your tribe is small in scale you will consume around 50 food a turn and to produce half that is a challange. To really grow you need to produce hundreds of tons of food each turn during the warm months to last a year. With an income of one or a few thousand food a year you can think about growing for real and taking land.
I really like this game but that's in spite of its many flaws. I've had fun with it but I don't think most people will. it feels more like a puzzle game then a 4x. the difficulty is a joke but the harder ones work if you play with self enforced rules to avoid broken or simple solutions. if you do get this game, try playing as a vegan ludite that hates trade. diplomacy is a mixed and leaking bag. both romes will just declare war on me for no reason even if i manage to get them at a high rep and stay far away. being at war doesn't game over you. they mostly just smash your things and it takes some resources and 2 turns to repair. most tribes don't attack me and they're much easier to deal with. i usually just piss a few off to get +5 global rep for being a bad ass and the rest will turn 1 ally with you after that. I've had fun with this game but it's not worth more then 5 dollars imo (edit just double checked the current price its 29.99 lmao this game is broken and hasn't been updated in 4 years) . dead game too so is there even a reason to buy this in the year of our lord 2025?
还没玩,总之先AI汉化了一版: https://github.com/TsuTa-hl/AtTheGateChinese 差评是因为我有理由怀疑这游戏原生只支持英文,完全没考虑任何本地化导致我的汉化成本超出预期。
Très prometteur, mais pas beaucoup d'évolutions ces derniers mois et surtout, toujours pas de Français. très dommage.
