Game was great but they disabled Multiplayer as of August 1st. Cannot recommend as storefront still promotes it with Multiplayer.

Its a very simple industry management sim that focuses on meeting supply and demand for almost static prices in cities with very little fluctuation. The game mostly is a "Set up and forget" type game. Once a supply line is established to a city where there is demand in a shop, you can basically forget about that line and move onto the next advancement.

Not a bad game, but not revolutionary.

Pros:
- Interesting supply/demand game
- Can be challenging early on before all mechanics are learned in depth
- Simple interface design, quick to learn
- Great auto-management system of warehousing
- Incorporates transport costs into the game, not usually seen beyond the usual resource sink
- Traffic system provides a unique difficulty aspect and really focuses on encouraging players to move onto other transportation mediums.

Cons:
- AI is more of a nuisance then a competitor. Its impossible to lose to the AI
- No Corporate Capitalist aspects (No Stock Market, Very simplistic Corporate ownership of companies)
- Economic fluctuation is simplistic (items you build almost never become unprofitable, except maybe during temporary singular events)
- The difficulty increase sucks, its more of a time-sink change then actually making the game harder
- Warehouses seem to "break" once in awhile, stopping all deliveries, requires game restart to fix
- The Region system sucks IMHO but my guess is it exists because you wouldnt be able to compete with the AI otherwise. It gates you into a small area and to sell to a single market, transport costs make competing in another companies home territory unrewarding

I still recommend this game. There is enough gameplay to justify the cost. It is a fun game but the replayability is minimal. Unless you are doing full achievement runs in this game, id expect to get half the time I have played on this game in actual gameplay.

Its basically the same game, more futuristic tech tree. Wish there was more to the mechanics for pollution. Stuff like being able to farm organic crops if pollution removed, etc.... Needs more flavour to mix up the game.

Great Game. Avoid the Community. Get 5-6 friends and play. Community is toxic.

I give up, this game is just bad. For all the detail the developers put into the world, they over-complicated combat to the point of stupidity. Archery is just damn frustrating and sword fights are more fights in guesswork and attempting to change hit direction to no avail. The NPC's downright cheat the system, with archers being able to do an instant swap weapons, while your own character has to do a good 5-6 second swap animation.

Whats more insane is the asinine combat system with melee weapons. You are taught feints that dont work half the time, your enemies can block every attack you make, even quick succession ones but god forbid you need to block. Switching swing direction would be effective but NPC's can still pull off blocks most people have no chance of performing. I am at a bandit encampment portion of the game and the guy im supposed to 1v1 duel is so insanely difficult to fight, ive finally thrown my hands up. Combat is the worst part of this game.

Its a shame the combat had to be made so frustrating given the detail the devs put into this game. But its not fun from a player perspective. I gave it a chance but I dont recommend this to anyone. You will have an easier time in Dark Souls.
