Not a bad game, until you've experienced the random burning down of your outpost... which is the reason I give it a thumbs down. In this game, you are given an outpost from which you start building everything. I spent hours building everything from citizen housing, to entertainment, goods and even a forum. Everyone was happy. My approval rating was outstanding. I was making money and gearing up to attack the enemy...
I mean, it's not a new game, but it will play on anything, the graphics still hold up, at least for the buildings, and it's still fun.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
