There is a great deal of fascinating dungeon exploring and combat.
The ability to solve the puzzle and construct an ideal structure that optimizes resource production.
It has a story that is both entertaining and endearing, replete with interesting characters.

It has a story that is both entertaining and endearing, replete with interesting characters.
Once a problem has been solved, the city builder loses all ability to be creative.
There is no mode in which the tutorial is not active; it is either completely dominant or completely absent.
The pace of spoken conversation cannot compete with that of written material.
Saves are both difficult and restricted for city builders.

The space Western atmosphere is on point, with fun characters and a compelling narrative
Robust city-planning mechanics are rolled out at an even pace and intertwine well with the mines
Exploration and monster-slaying in the latter is also an interesting wrinkle

No hotkeys for things like the individual game speeds
Items in the train station can feel unreasonably pricey at times
It's a bit unwieldy to see how many buildings have been built for a specific type
The narrative lacks that central protagonist to anchor on

Une gestion agréable et ingénieuse de la ville de surface et de la mine souterraine.
Bonne jouabilité générale, avec des menus accessibles, clairs et complets.
Plusieurs modes de jeu disponibles afin de s'adapter à tous les joueurs.
Des robots bien réalisés, avec des bruitages cohérents, notamment dans la mine.
