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!
I loved it and it’ll be a day 1 purchase for me. Amazing how they’ve nailed every one of their games considering how differently they play (e.g. Dig, Heist, Quest).
I’m happy to support the devs and the SteamWorld “universe” they’ve built.
Yeah I was impressed by how polished it seemed. Looks like it is by a different developer than the “Dig” games - https://store.steampowered.com/search/?developer=Thunderful Development
Still impressive that they’ve never made a City Builder before though!
Interesting, I looked into it briefly and found this:
2020 - Image & Form, Zoink and Guru Games are merged and fully integrated in Thunderful Development AB
There was a merger, but maybe not entirely different developers.
Good find! Definitely looks like they integrated the previous developer into their main team.
