    The game was not able to catch me from the beginning.
    Mainly because of the tutorial, because when I faced the campaign I found a really different game, with mechanincs not explained, construcion limit and a kind of rush to win that I was never able to beat with the concepts explained in the tutorial.
    Maybe it's a good game... if you invest enough time in external resources to learn how    The game was not able to catch me from the beginning.

    For a RTS where you do not attack the other player with units, there is a lot going on here. The raw amount of things to keep track of and options available, are in some ways overwhelming. The core of it all is great fun, and it is completely novel for a RTS to avoid just massing units and rolling out. The amount of stuff happening takes away some of the enjoyment, as playthroughs quickly get away from players if they are not using every option available to them. Finally, the pace is so fast that there is no enjoyment about surviving on these hostile planets.

    Interesting economic strategy bending the RTS genre in a proper way. Great ideas lack the elegance in design unfortunately, and authors completely overshot the price. [Issue #271]

    In the Offworld Trading Company business strategy you do not fight using strength, you use a money instead. You will be attracted by complex economic mechanics and exotic environment of planet Mars. The game, however, in its basic version does not entertain long enough. You can get a satisfactory game time if you choose to get not-so-cheap set of DLC packages.
