- epilepsy warning on strobe light effects.
+ unique game permutations, mostly Anno+Rimworld (Dwarf Fortress only by Theme)
+ very fast and simple and sufficient procedural map generation. (detail is added when needed. Does not write a thousand novels of world history before the game starts, unlike DF)
+ Fantasy-humanoid racism/segregation/slavery/cult/genocide simulator.
+ Many meaningful short term and long term choices, but also a lot of freedom in terms of style+priority.
+ Great UI full of bars and buttons. very clean visuals in unique aesthetic.
+ Good minimalism in terms of having not too many resource-types in total (short production chains).
+ Micromanagement entirely optional, with space to simulate 100.000s of citizens.
+ 2d sprites with normal-mapping for some basic shading.
+ Good pacing all around, pacing reminiscent of sim-city1, except you wait/optimize for food reserves+transport before you are able to expand (without risking starvation) where expansion in most city builders is more limited by more abstract wealth-coin (often only taxes), but here you also lay-out interiors, and can copy-paste and blueprint.
+ Great accessibility by a game dev, who is smart enough to boot games into a windowed settings-launcher, where too many dumber games insist on a too low-res fullscreen splash screen, that not all monitors will display AT ALL.
+ can make screeen-shots of the whole city in many detail levels, largess makes a 12000x12000px png (over 50 mb big)
+ looks like very high long term replay-value: Feels like a game, that you come back to once per decade, in the spirit of "colonization (1994)" in terms of replaying an old game, and the only party, that changed is you and the computer (and you notice how games changed during the decades), but with more replay value added by mods an a long road-map of updates by slow development.
