What players say

Players praise the game's unique first-person colony sim formula where you assign jobs to villagers and defend against nightly zombie attacks. Reviews consistently highlight the developer's long-term dedication through years of updates, though some note the mid-game can become imbalanced after losing soldiers and that performance lags with massive colonies.
