Okay so while this game might not look like much because of its pixelated graphics. That's actually a good thing. This game is legit. I can't sing it's praises enough. Is it next gen? Nah Is it something you can't miss? Nah. But you would still be doing yourself a disservice by not checking it out. You're island shrinks slowly but surely and you needed to accomplish enough objectives so you can move on to the next island, rinse and repeat. Now while it sounds simple and hell...the gameplay is pretty simple for the most part. The game is so well made that I can't get mad at it. It's addictive, it's engaging, it's mysterious, it's challenging (But in a good way) and overall it's just really fun. Probably 6-12 hours of gameplay here (depending on how much you wanna play or accomplish) and for 13 dollars, this kind of gameplay and stability it's a great offer. I Highly recommend this game and even if this isn't normally your type of game I'd still recommend you check it out. It's a resource gathering, upgrade buildings and build up defenses against pirates kinda game. It plays really well, has a decent tutorial and a decent story with everything else about this game being almost perfect for what kind of game it is. But if that still wasn't enough then please check out the video on my YouTube channel (link below) for a more in depth look at the game. Otherwise, thanks so much for reading and I hope I managed to help some of you out there to spend your money wisely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9cqUYS22us

What you see in the first hour of the game is basically what you see for the entire game. The gameplay isn't interesting, and doesn't change throughout the campaign--despite adding a few structures that are very situational. The story, characters, and music really are not a draw either. This feels overpriced at $13 USD, and after two hours of wearing out its welcome, I finished it just to see if it got better. It didn't.

I just finished my first playthrough - saw the first 4 levels of the campaign (out of the 12 total) and 2 biomes (out of 6). What I really like about this game is the aesthetics and the unique gamplay idea. Each island you're on gets gradually flooded, which means that you have less space to build and need to be smart about building placement. Biomes have different features, so you have to adjust your strategy to individual conditions. You also get different commanders and relics (items) that help you with the challenge. The screen may sometimes get crowded and with many buildings on the island you may need to pay extra attention when moving around, but other than that it's a really fun an enjoyable game! Also, there are 2 modes other than campaign available, but I haven't tried them yet.
