    Decent 3D graphics and a breezy soundtrack accentuate the game's tone, and there are plenty of different scenarios to keep you coming back, though the underlying gameplay gets to be pretty predictable after a while.

    A simple economic strategy game with plenty of pick-up-and-play appeal. It isn’t all that complex, but it’s enjoyable in short bursts and offers plenty of reasons to return from time to time.

    Fast-paced and often challenging, Outpost Kaloki X is one of the few Xbox Live Arcade titles that actually makes you earn your Achievements.

    Outpost Kaloki X features a lot of depth and offers some challenging play for fans of strategy games. Shame there’s no Live multiplayer though.

    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.

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.    … Full Review »

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!    … Full Review »

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

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