    Unless comical mischief is disallowed in your household, Outpost Kaloki X is a great family game that can teach the kiddies about resource management and making (instead of spending) money at an early age.

    While certainly not as in-depth as some other games in the tycoon subset of the strategy genre, Outpost Kaloki X does offer plenty of bang for its $10 price tag.

    The clean graphics, quirky music and amusing characters and situations you’ll run into help keep things fresh.

    Plenty of strategic meat on its 3D bone. [Issue#5, p.120]

    While there's no online play, OKX is definitely an entertaining and surprisingly deep experience. For anyone looking for a quirky, unique XBLA experience, it's worth it to shell out the MPs to drop this onto your hard drive.

    This is a shame, because a management game is a good idea for Live Arcade, which is currently filled with puzzle titles and coin-ops. But Outpost Kaloki X just doesn't have the qualities of Rollercoaster Tycoon - it never feels like you are in charge.

    Very fun game and has a increasing amount of downloadable content being offered. Worth the buy if you like tycoon / strat games.

Not to hard on lower difficulties and a real challenge on harder setting or even trying for all the achievements.

    It may be simple and small, but this little XBLA strategy game is worth a purchase, or at the very least a try.    … Expand

It's like those old shareware game that you got from a friend in a worn out diskette when you were in school, played a couple of hours and the forgot about it. In this new world of crappy but fun little games, don't bother with this tittle if it costs more than $3.
    The graphics are crap, the sound is crap. But it is entertaining, and has a bit of humour to it. Doesn't crash and will work properly. Wait for D2D to sell it for $1.99 on a Tuesday.    … Expand

Perhaps, in those years whenThis game was recently distributed around Gold, but it's more like a spit in the face, quite a full-fledged game. Perhaps, in those years when the game came out, it was a novelty - all sorts of cheap games for less than 5 bucks, which took place without fail, but complaints about them are not excluded - it's worth a penny. But the logic here is fundamentally wrong.

    City-building simulators are great, but simplifying everything to the level of a casual game is already an excess. Terrible graphics, disgusting game design, annoying music, and original gameplay, which is artificially complicated by very tight time limits - all this greatly spoiled the impression of the game. I have nothing against small and unpretentious toys, but they should be tastefully implemented and they should be pleasant to play with, the OUTPOST KALOKI X is unfortunately cheap and not worth my time. Glory to Ukraine!    … Expand
