A lot of unlockables, variative gameplay depending on the ship. Multiple enemy types. Very Fun

Pretty fun incremental game with several prestige layers and ability to earn Premium currency as a F2P.
Long-term progression will take months, so this is one of the games that will stay with you for a while. A lot mechanics unlocked as you go, most tedious tasks are automated later down the road.
Dev is active and regularly updating the game and adding more content, focusing on community feedback.
Can recommend.

Great Incremental game. Fun setting, unique mechanics, you can actually use different builds and strategies. A lot of humor in the story.

Really fun and worth your time.

Overall Score: 7/10

Final Factory is a unique mix of resource management and factory-like strategy genre with ship design mechanics, where players will have to design their unique space stations and ships.

Full Final Factory Review [game-vault.net]

Factory starts like any other Factory game, where player will have to harvest resources, craft building and place them in order to automate the resource harvesting process, but pretty fast it gets its own unique taste with unique mechanics like modular space stations, manned battleships, automated stations hovering around, dyson sphere construction and more.

I already have 50 hours in the Final Factory and will play it more. It's a pretty good mix of factory-like game with ship design idea and it works well too. I am really looking forward to seeing how it will develop through Early Access and get more features and game mechanics.

Fantastic game where you go from clicker to resource management and automatization. Worth the price and time invested. If you like progression focused games, factory games or incremental/idle games you will find something interesting here.

• I loved the game.
  
• I loved the gameplay shifts that changed the game mechanics completely.
  
• I love that there is an ending.
  
• Overall progression feels rewarding and satisfying.
  
• Graphics looks good which is rare in incremental/idle.
  
• I loved the cryptic story and you can see in the videos that at some moments things caught me offguard and I was curious on whats happening

• The weak points are early grind for first silos, I used autoclicker and was annoyed, cant imagine doing it without autoclicker (in the latest patch autoclicker mechanics was introduced when you build specific building).
  
• I want to play more so Prestige mechanics would be nice to make the game last for months, but it might be out of the game's concept.
  
• Managing base layout when you have some tall buildings is a bit annoying
  
• Cant go wide, so its a tall progression.

Solid game, great example of how Idle games with Incremental mechanics should be done. Even though gameplay might seem repetitive its pulling you in really fast and you cant get enough.
Character can be controlled manually or game can do it for you.
A lot of spell combinations that offers you several viable builds.
A lot of unlockable content further down the road.
F2P, doesnt require shop purchases in order to play properly.

Overall very solid game, I'd advise you guys to try it.

I've had tons of fun with Forgetful Dictator .

I thought I am good with geography, well I am not. This game will help you guys to get better at it, while going after a Dino rival.

Dont expect a lot of strategic decisions though, its more a quiz than a strategy, but it is very good and educational.

Very immersive 2D space game with a lot of progression. Huge research tree, customizable ship layout, interesting storyline.
It have very pleasant graphics to it too and will get you hooked easily, so be careful.


Starcom: Nexus an action-adventure RPG of space exploration and epic, fast-paced battles. You take command of your first ship, and venture into space doing various tasks, getting resources, research points and other things that will help you to improve your ship and make it harder, better, faster, stronger.
It have very immersive storyline weaved into the gameplay, so you will enjoy reading every exploration log. Even if you skip it all, game offers you great graphics, interesting space combat and those explosions that make you happy.

Game is very easy to grasp, you start small and grow big over time.
You will face various tasks as you progress, unlock pieces of story and, of course, will fight enemies of Starcom, who are not very friendly.

Gameplay is very addictice, intuitive and enjoying.

Graphics is simply gorgeous. Explosions, destruction, background, planets, textures - everything is very detailed and pleasant to the eye. It is done with realistic 3d models, which adds a lot to the immersion.
10/10

Use WASD to move and steer ship, mouse to aim and shoot.
Top-down, easy to grasp, intuitive and comfortable.
10/10

:Sounds are good.
Music is ambient and not annoying, also it changes based on situation.
Overall music and sounds are helping immersion and pleasant to the ears.

This is a spacesim sandbox game. Pretty good one, with interesting ideas, successor of X series.
I've enjoyed it for 30 hours even with all the bugs. At 50 hours I decided that I will take a break.
This game needs A LOT of work before it can be considered finished.


X4: Foundations is a game about space and freedom. It differs from other spacesims in a scale. Here you can be a pirate on a small interceptor, police officer protecting core sectors, owner of a trading caravan, goods manufacturer, fleet admiral, sector owner and whatever you can come up with. It have a lot to offer.


You start small and grow big over time. You can pick one of 3 starting presets, but after that its up to you what do you want to accomplish.
The game offest a great variety of gameplay styles, considering that it is a sandbox and I havent found endgoal so far, and only 1 story ark mission I feel that you can take your time and go from one playstyle to another (getting out of piracy would be hard though lol)
Trader/miner/mercenary/mission runner/smuggler/explorer... you can do a lot of stuff, but not all of them will be equally rewarding.
Although I am not really fan of the gmaes without actual goal, so storyline might be expanded or maybe I havent found it yet.
8/10

Graphics is good. It is really good and immersive. I like that you can get out from your ship, I like that you can allow pilot to do the flying and walk around the bridge watching others work. I Like putting custom logos on the ships.
Exploring and finding something interesting rewards with breathtaking visuals too.
It is good.
9/10

I used mouse + keyboard. It was good. It just needs some time to get used, but once you did, you will feel pretty comfortable.
Never tried controllers, so cant talk about that.
8/10

:I like the music that is in the game, ambient sounds and SFX. It adds immersion.
I just would like some background music when I am just in space travelling and exploring. That silense is immersive, but I got boring of it after a while.
6/10

This game can be pretty good if all the issues will be fixed. At current 1.20 build I am still getting crushes once in a few hours, some quests dont work, some textures looks wierd. Game needs more polish.
When it will be done it will be fantastic. Cant wait for that.

I am pretty sure my savegame bugged out cause I havent encountered any hostiles but stations in the past 10 hours :'(
Current state of bugs is causing -2 to overall score.
I will still reccomend it, because I enjoyed it even with all those drawbacks, enjoyed a lot.
5.6/10

When I first got the game I didnt put my expectations high.
I was very wrong, this game is fantastic experience and have a lot of depth and randomness in it.
After an hour playing the game I was so deep in it, that my imagination have build all the graphics :P
So if you want to have some oldschool text based adventures you should give it a try.


Warsim: The Realm of Aslona is a text based game, so dont expect any fancy graphics with it.
When you will start your game you will have to read quite a lot of text (tutorial) to get the game basics, and I highly advise it, so you will know what your options are.

After that all this world is yours to explore, conquer and rule.


As mentioned above at the beginning gameplay may feel challenging, but in about an hour you will get the game basics and realise how to progress properly.
You can do wars, politics, trade, management of your kigdom, gambling and god knows what else, so options are wide and various. Game also have quite a lot of humour to it, which makes it even better.
PSA You can skip boring throne room visits by telling the guards to keep rabble away, so you will get only business offers.
Overall gameplay is various and interesting.
9/10

Well, you have a lot of randomly generated text faces, some maps and other illustrations.
I think this cant apply to a text-based game :P
1/10

You will barely use mouse, most of the stuff is done with the keyboard, and by that I mean picking an option with 1-15. When you'll get used to that you will feel that controls are pretty good. Just be careful with ending your turn prematurely with "0", happened to me several times, so it would be great to move end turn key to some rarely usednumber, like "99".
Overall controls are good and easy to grasp.
8/10

:Game features background music, which is quite epic, but repetitive.
Game sounds are minimal, but some of them are quite fun.
I think thats more than enough for text-based game.
4/10

Since text based games are all about gameplay and deph and not about graphics, we will only count gameplay, controls and SFX for this title.
This is a very good game, especially for an early access title. I can and will recommend it for people who are into those kind of games, I hope in time we will see even more content and variety.
