Reception
The PC version of the game received mixed reviews on Metacritic.[10] Reviewing the game while in early access, Jonathan Bolding of PC Gamer said that the game's difficulty distinguishes it from other city-building games.[5] Rob Zacny of Vice recommended the game to people who enjoy micromanagement. He praised the game's balanced survival mechanics, which allow colonies to thrive but are a constant, deadly threat.[11] In a review for Gamepressure, Alexander Eriksen rated it 8/10 stars and wrote, "Sound design, user experience, and gameplay all just flow and make for an enjoyable, if a bit laidback, experience."[12]
