New expeditions and difficulty

I don't if it's just me, but the new expeditions are pretty rough. Most of the time, you start with basic ressources pretty far from you (wood, food) and there's often 2-3 infestations right at your doorstep. It's kinda frustrating on some expedtions, especially when there are still some objectives that are stupidly impossible (like goal 3/7 : stockpile 30 stones). I'm not again a bit of challenge, but I think not all expeditions have to be an harrowing trial, forcing you to restart multiple time until y...

Early Access Review

These are just all personal opinion based on my own gameplay

Pros
Challenging even at the casual level
Pretty Graphics
Its like a mini version of Strategic base building meets Civilization Tile Gameplay
Upgrades are interesting and matters
Love that weather plays an important part, makes it seem more realistic.
Love that there are events (Fires or broken infrastructure)

Cons
-Every stage feels like the same progression and you just work around the objectives.
-Minor changes are immediately affects morale, too punishing even at the casual level.
-Certain resource generation balance feels off as you will never achieve a middle ground, its either you never have enough no matter how you develop the infrastructure for it, then its turns into, you almost never need to use it ever again.
- Combat is questionable, you can never micro manage combat to put yourself in a better position, even if you start out stronger than the enemy, RNG can still make you lose. The only part you can control is having adjacent support/terrain support.
More indepth comments:

To be quite honest, the game did not play out the way I imagined it would, in terms of, it feels like a game that you can only do in stages and not an endless version (at least if there is an endless mode, I never got that far to see it)
I was hoping for a more interactive combat design.

The game play is quiet linear although with each stage completion you unlock upgrades/perks but its tied to Tech Level that you level up in game, and for me, it feels like its a barrier that should not exist. You unlock the perk, I feel like, it should be available at the very start of each game.

In terms of what I said in the Cons part regarding resources mainly is about wood. While playing the game, you struggle to keep up with wood demand and even if you unlock 2 or 3 forest tiles and get their respective lumbermill upgrades, you never have enough wood unless you wait it out or scavenge with the use of Stamina. And you never really end up not needing wood until you finish the stage. Other resources are questionable, you never have to worry about water, its just there, but its so easy to keep on stock. Food on the other hand is relatively the same, however, the storage is supposed to keep food from spoiling with each upgrade, but no matter how high you get it, It doesnt feel like food will never spoil. Herbs/Medicine doesnt really feel like it makes a difference, its another resource you get almost towards the end of a stage and you just get it to prevent morale from dropping/ to meet stage clear requirements.

Combat is so RNG based even when based on numbers, even if you are stronger than the enemy, you may still lose and the only way to counter that is to have a 2nd team as support on an adjacent tile.

Conclusion:
Overall the game is not bad, I expected more from it, some may say its unrealistic expectations considering I could watch the videos in the store page, but I was hoping for something that was easier/simpler than They are Billions but not dumbed down to this level. I guess its mainly designed for mobile so to expect more from it would be me setting the bar too high.

5/10

After Inc went from being an enjoyable game to being unbalanced and less than enjoyable. The soldiers are weaker than they used to be and cannot be relied on to help bring down the claim cost of lands, which are now over priced and under produce. The introduction of the zombies coming from off the map and now wastelands that cannot be claimed have finally tipped the gameplay into overly annoying and not enjoyable. You also have sudden increases in difficulty that come out of no where and only exist to frustrate you.

It isn't a game you can pick back up after awhile and play where you left off and the season 2 pass only enforces that. Perhaps get this game if its on sale unless you are a casual gamer in which case don't even pick this one up.

Best thing Ndemic has put out, in my humble opinion. Scratches just the right brain itch, satisfying difficulty curve with interesting, thematically-fitting mechanics. The Seeds of Hope campaign, the newest to come out at the time of my writing, is phenomenal. One of the few games I actually log in and do the daily content for.
