I gave it a try the other day and really enjoyed it! Really nice cartoon art style / setting. The above-ground portion of the game feels like a solid clone of the Anno series games. Then below ground adds a fun twist of exploration / resource gathering into the mix.
Really looking forward to when it releases now!
Yeah I really think they did a good job with having a lot of systems, yet still being pretty straightforward to understand. There were only a couple things that I didn’t immediately understand (even without reading tutorial text).
Definitely can’t wait to see if the full game holds to that pattern!
Completely agree. Usually with these colony builder style games, I run into several problems where I just don’t understand how the systems are implemented, and the game does a poor job of explaining stuff. But on this Steamworld Build, I never ran into that. Everything made sense, and I loved expanding and placing my buildings, and moving stuff around etc… REALLY well done on their part. Very much looking forward to the release.
