Stranded: Alien Dawn

Stranded: Alien Dawn is what happens when The Sims and a colony builder have a baby, and that baby is deeply unbothered by the apocalypse. I breezed through the Droid DLC scenario feeling more like a suburban HOA president than a survivor. The droid attacks? Performative drama at best, the alien equivalent of someone ringing your doorbell and running away only for you to shoot them in the back with a sniper rifle and loot their corpse for materials to make a new lamp for your bedroom. The UI is an eye sore that took some getting used to, but despite its quirks I finished the whole thing. Solid replay value and the most stress-free existential crisis I've ever had.

If this is a finished product, then I cannot use the excuse that this title needs work. Instead, I must compare it to other finished titles that it is directly competing with, such as Dwarf Fortress, Rimworld, etc. Stranded: Alien Dawn feels like someone realized there was money in this genre, and threw together something incredibly basic in order to cash in. Both DF and RW are cheaper than this title, yet offer significantly more replayability. The price tag does not make this title worth it, the gameplay makes me feel like this needs to be put into Early Access. Please take a look at the complaints people have about this title, pawns have zero self preservation, priorities are lopsided, difficulty scales too quickly, and the environment feels static and fake.

Mira que el juego me estaba gustando y he ido aprendido a gestinar todo, pero la IA de los personajes es nula

Basic mechanics are there and work reasonable well. Building mechanics are extensive enough and are probably the most fun part about this game. Where the game fails is progression and content-volume. Progression is painfully slow. Colonist move at snails-pace and every activity takes ages. Reason for this is probably how little content there actually is. Even compared to vanilla Rimworld. Mods might have saved it, but for his there needs to be enough in-game content to create some buzz to begin with. Overall there is little reason to choose this over other colony builder, unless you like to build nice looking colonies. Especially with the normal price-tag.

Such a great game! I just wish it wasn't left as is.... please pick the game back up.... or make a second

Played this for free on console and now I played this on my PC. Highly recommended if you're in to strategy survival games. This game is best played on PC.
