Early Access Review
Underwhelming at the moment, there's just not that much to do. It seems fun in its premise, though.
It has some dangerous bugs (upgrading the church? No one can go into it until it is finished, and they will keep trying to go. All day long. Making them starve.) and weird problems (monuments often have a sizeable part underground).
Walls are free to build, which seems... too easy?
Canceling a building (or destroying one) doesn't refund the resources, which seems silly.

Anyway, good potential but I can't recommend it for 30€ in its current state.

Buying early access is some sort of funding a game, not buying a vision of a game.
I don't pay for visions as way too many publishers came up with visions and abondonned everything after a while leaving you as an investor with a messed up "game" in an unplayable state and without something worth your money.
I don't pay 30 bucks for something in this state, not any more.

It's baffling how eager people are to defend a game that they have no stake in. It's great that you think the game is worth the current price, others do not. This review is marked as an Early Access Review, and simply states the current EA state does not warrant the price of the full game.

This is a fine review, Dok. Tells me exactly what I need to know.

Early access is not a cheat code to be able to sell a game for a price beyond what it's state justifies.

@DarudeoSandstorm when you buy an early access game, you're buying the game's current state, because the game might be abandoned in any moment.
That's why early access reviews are automatically deleted when the game leaves early access.

It's labelled "early access" for a reason, you can't just say it's not worth it due the price..

He didn't recommend the game with this price tag in its current iteration (2nd Feb).

If you use the space between your ears you may figure out that this review will be irrelevant in one year when the game changed, but holds true for now. What the heck do you guys expect? Review on vision and anticipation? :squirtheh:

No, you're pay for EARLY ACCESS to the full game.

Yes the game should be in a playable state and with reasonable amounts of content with a clear development path available, all of which this game has.
