How it feels

A methodical space management sim where you balance resource gathering, crew assignments, and diplomatic decisions while guiding humanity through a cosmic crisis.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly call Base One an unfinished, buggy game abandoned by its developers. The crew AI constantly gets stuck in doorways, fails to work or heal, and makes progress impossible past the early campaign. Reviewers with tens of hours of playtime all report the same game-breaking pathfinding and automation bugs, with no updates since release.
