Gra jest uwstecznieniem w stosunku do tytułów których miała być następcą. System logistyczny to nieporozumienie które odbiera przyjemność z gry.

Jako fan Zeusa i innych tego typu produkcji strasznie się zawiodłem. Gra jest strasznie uboga w content, każda misja polega na tym samym, aż dziw bierze, że jest to pełna wersja, a nie early access.

Za bardzo przekombinowana a jednocześnie za prosta. Przez mocno ograniczone zasięgi większość czasu spędza się na ustawianiu karawan by przerzucały towary z magazynu do magazynu co bardzo szybko się nudzi.
Gigantyczny minus za BRAK sensownego narzędzia do tworzenia map.

This game is a waste of time. One single mistake during city building causes your city to die. One disease, one fire, one of anything causes you to lose since the economy is balanced on a knife's edge. Prestige system is terrible, not explained well and all around ♥♥♥♥. City watch is useless, you need countless of them around houses, warehouses, farms, produciton buildings, you basically won't have enough workers for them. Water pump is enough for like 7 canal tiles which means you will be spamming them all over the place. No road blocks is just ridiculous. Warehouses and markets have so small radius you are gonna use caravanserai all over the place sometimes just to move goods two tiles away. The UI is a mess. No basic functionalities like get maximum, empty (there is a way to empty warehouse but it makes you delete your goods). The premade temples are so ugly and require so many resources it's unbelievable. Making your own design would be fun if not for clunky mechanics and need to basically do a brick instead of a cool looking temple. Not to mention the bland looking colours and brown water for some reason.

Dramat. Zasnąć można przy tej grze

Niby wszystko działa jak trzeba, niby się fajnie gra, ale jest dużo idiotycznych mechanik, które po pewnym czasie potężnie wyprowadzają z równowagi. Np, budujesz farmę, krowy dają mleko, ludzie doją krowy. Niestety magazyn jest jedną kratkę poza zasięgiem farmy no i niestety już nie można składować w nim surowca, trzeba wybudować osobny budynek, który będzie przenosił surowce - i generalnie tak ze wszystkim. Zdecydowanie nie polecam, idźcie pograć w Faraona.

Zeus to to nie jest. Cała gra opiera się na głupim systemie magazynów i wciskaniu budynków jeden koło drugiego. Zero przyjemności z budowania miast. Nie da się zbudować ładnego miasta z podziałem na dzielnice a jedynie wielkiego bloba gdzie wszystko jest obok siebie :<

Very sadly, I ended up uninstalling and requesting a refund. There is the base of a great game here, but unfortunately it's just not yet ready. Their is far too much content missing to be considered a full release. Chiefly their is only a single campaign of a dozen missions, with half of them being tutorial missions.

No military.
No religion.
No entertainment.
No crime.
No taxes or upkeep.
No building fires.
No building collapses.
No natural disasters.
Small maps.

It isn't all bad. They allow you to specify hauler paths giving you control over the distribution of goods, however it adds a significant amount of micromanagement as you must specify a path for every single good, at every single market.

This game's primary focus is more a logistics puzzle game than anything else. You have to figure out how to set up all the production chains in a very limited amount of space and get it distributed to all the citizens.

If that was the goal, that's fine, but the developers made a big error in making their game so heavily similar to the Impression Games titles for which in reality there is very little in common.

Ouff, this is a tough one.
See, on one hand i admire the energy they put into shaping this game as an attempt to make it a great city building title.
It takes inspiration from Pharao and other "Impression" Games of that time.
But thats basically it, an inspired attempt.
Basic things like crime and fire, typical social aspects, were only implemented far later.
And even with those basic mechanics its still far behind the standard of the games you know in this genre.
There is no military branch, no defenses, let alone city walls.
One of the iconic features, the temples that you can build the way you want, dont serve any purpose besides giving a good look and "prestige points".

They now, more than a year later, are getting to the point where they will fix that flaw and implement gods and festivals.

And yet and again, even with that, its still just barely at the same level of these 20+ year old games that made it far better.
All Nebuchadnezzar does, is getting me into the mood to shut it down and instead play Emperor or Caesar.
They were far superior, in both sandbox/scenario and campaign, in features, mechanics and depth.
The only thing Nebuchadnezzar manages to do better, is providing modern resolutions and UI.
But even the presentation of the city is lacking.
The only people you see moving are your carriers. You are not seeing people in buildings, or on courts, there arent any leisure buildings that have an animation going on when they become active.
You know, like Caesar having large buildings like schools, the forum etc, that had little people sitting there and doing things or artists doing their craft?
You wont see these details here although it technically should be more advanced.

Nebuchadnezzar has a hard time catching up with a genre standard from more than two decades ago and thats just embarrassing in a way.
I am still somewhat ok with buying it for the campaign, even though the story presentation is lacking and there isnt enough depth to it (you cant for example choose a military or economic campaign as in caesar).
But only because it was on sale and only because it received post-launch support.

My hope now is, that they will drastically improve the game further and add proper diplomacy and military.
Right now there isnt much to do after you beat the campaign.
The scenarios dont receive any options to tweak your experience with or gain more depth.
Load up Emperor Rise of the Middle Kingdom and you will find that scenarios give you plenty to do besides just building and puzzleing.

It also has some weird issues.
Loading up the game takes several minutes (yeah really) on high end specs.
It should basically just be demanding on the RAM, yet loading it up takes so freaking long that people voiced that issue on the forum.
Other than that i noticed that they scrapped some songs that were present in the beta and were actually really good, only to be replaced with some generic music.
Only an occasional track manages to catch the theme and i wished they brought back the beta songs.


Conclusion
Nebuchadnezzar is a somewhat ok-ish city builder, but not only far behind the genre standard but also other current iterations like Anno 1800.
In that sense the only positive thing i could say about it is the theme they picked as its underrepresented and i love it.
Besides that?
Lacking, far too lacking.
Certainly lacking too much to recommend it at full price.
If its at around 13€, sure, worth a look.
And maybe it will someday form into a good city builder.

Take everything you love from Pharaoh and/or Zeus, and get rid of about 75% of it. Fantastic base/mechanics, great idea, but there is just too much missing here. Somehow decades after the fact, we still can't even match those old Sierra/Impression games.
