Mercury Fallen

So im torn. Im recommending cause there is long term play value even though was released in 2023. SOme major needs are a start tutorial. The AI seems to work very well but some of the issues are the constant clicking just to mine one thing at a time and then it gets overhwhelimg to figure our whats needed for what because things happen totally out of order. But i still recommend. So some of the issues include running out of resources to make more items before you even get to the planet. This doesntmake sense considering the QUANTITY of items under the planet and the ability learn new things doesnt happen till after something else so the balance needs to be adjusted.

Normally i would give a recommend because for a small games its well made. But there is one thing that is really frustrating: In game logic / missing explanations. Normally in such a game new machines, buildings, etc. are either explained how they supposed to work, or its made obvious / logical. Here, unfortunately, it's neither. You build certain things, but it's not explained how they actually work. Sometimes you have to look up the steam discussions to get ahead (as people have asked that before, but the devs didn't fix it/integrate better explanations). Sometimes you can build machines that you cannot use because for that you need to get to the surface and solve something else first (for example for the aquarium, you need 50 bio-research points to unlock a fish to breed. You cannot generate them, so you need to wait for something on the surface to happen (to get the bio-points to unlock the fish), despite the fact that you catch the fish constantly in the water trap and its eggs as well). Why there is such an artificial barrier is beyond me. If it would at least be explained how this is supposed to work, but its not. So as this is not explained at all, you are just dumbstruck and wonder if you have missed something. So progression is all over the place, most things are only vaguely explained or not at all, and often the next step is not obvious/logical, so you have no idea what you need to do to actually get a machine working, which means look up steam discussions. What irks me most here is that these things are really easy to fix, just add explanations to the machines or add more info to the info-overview. It's a small text to add, nothing more, this could be done with a hotfix. Unfortunately this game has very few players and request for support are not really answered mid term. Asked a question a few days ago, no answer. I found out by myself eventually. Until the progression logic is explained better, i cannot recommend this game.

Одни баги, топливо антрацит не загружают в генератор, как не ставь приоритет. Генераторы пустые электричества нет и капец ничего не работает, раньше до обновлений все работало.

gave it just under 2hrs and so far progress seems very slow Awful graphics buggy interface and not much fun, got the game cheap from a Fanatical bundle no way would of paid full price for this.

I'm really enjoying Mercury Fallen. Excellent base building and exploration game. Easy enough to pick up but still challenging enough to keep you interested.

Poor tutorial, just kind of boring. Not terrible, but nothing that plenty of other games in the genre don't do as well or better. If you absolutely have to get it, wait until it's on sale.

1. Woke everyone 2. Marked a few tiles for mining 3. Got stuck in some weird UI mode and couldn't do anything useful or get out 4. Uninstalled Maybe that's not giving it a fair chance, but I don't care to be frustrated by a game right now.

Interesting story, relaxing building sim. Some times a little too much waiting for things to produce, but overall worth trying
