About the game

Outpost Zero blends the genres of Multiplayer Base Building Survival and Simulation games in a Sci-Fi universe. On a lawless alien world, robotic scouts are tasked with building an Outpost for human colonists. Command AI minions, colonize the planet, and survive the perils of Gaiya.

The value story

Across all 81 discounts in the 8 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 95 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Out of Reach ($14.99, scores 2) and Voidtrain ($14.99, scores 37) both outscore it.

More about Outpost Zero

To be completely fair, they exist and they work. It has as much charm as the ugliest house on the block. Is it constructed? Sure. Do you want to vomit when you look at it? Yep. If this was my college project, I would be...

Game is so bad i thought it was EA so i went on store page to find its a full release of a terribly programmed game. The so called AI is so much dumber then Trump sounds "not saying he is but he sure sounds it" So these bots die if outside ur base no matter the setting. Not sure whom is most useless the Bots in this game or the devs whom programmed them. They never do as they have been told to do and always wander...
