    There has been some significant free changes and updates that have drastically changed this game from being monotonous to challenging. If you enjoy strategy city building games that have a lot of resources and micro management you will like this game.

If you enjoy strategy city building games that have a lot of resources and micro management you will like this game. Aven Colony is much more satisfying as a city building resource management game than let's say something like Annon 2070. Most of what i expect from a game that requires you to build a colony on a foreign planet happens in Aven Colony.

    Sometimes it is crisis after crisis and that can be annoying and if you're not carefully balancing resources and buildings you can get voted out quickly. I enjoy that challenge because it means I have to keep managing things. That could be boring to some people but to me I love it.    … Expand

    A simpler version of Tropico set in space. Good entertainment for about 10 hours. Voice acting is surprisingly good and adds some nice flavour to the campaign. The campaign is interesting. There are not many other city-building strategy games out there right now.

    Aven Colony; is very much as advertised. Pretty much checks every box for what you would expect from a resource management city building game on an alien planet. Recent updates have upped the challenge in a very positive direction. Keeps you on your toes and encourages a proactive approach to keeping your colony going in an environment that can be as much your friend as an enemy.

    A genuine pleasure -- the attention to detail in the art assets themselves is particularly impressive.    … Expand

    I'm quite a fan of this kind of game, so I let myself be tempted, and I don't regret

    not easy to quickly understand the mechanics but also after that it brings a lot of challenges the campaign is really well encrypted and the difficulty is progressive according to the progress of the story the graphics are really pretty for an unpretentious game, the soundtrack guilds us    I'm quite a fan of this kind of game, so I let myself be tempted, and I don't regret

    Es un buen juego, las valoraciones bajas es solamente hate de personas amargadas, y la valoración de las críticas, quién la tiene en cuenta, escriben según les pagan. Es un buen juego, cumple su función, entretiene.

    A decent, quite complex city builder that would benefit from more variety, larger scale and losing some unnecessary mechanics. [10/2017, p.56]

    Boring sandbox mode is partly compensated by the campaign: in each mission developers came up with new ways to complicate the life of the colonists, while at the same time unraveling a story about the imminent end of the world and the search for alien artifacts. [Issue#223, p.60]

    Tactical city-sim for the sub-menu-phobic. [Issue#265, p.58]
