Solar Settlers

Воркер-плэйсмент головоломка. Ничего выдающегося, всё несложно и очевидно. Лёгкая разминка для мозга в таком вот формате. Быстрые, по нескольку минут, партии. Никакой динамичности или сюжетных твистов :) Чем-то неуловимо напоминает настольный Race for the Galaxy в солорежиме) Лучше, наверное, играть на планшете/телефоне - в ГуглПлей она тоже есть.

Не предполагал, что от по сути настольной игры может быть столько адреналина. Игровая сессия может быть короткой, так что казуальная.

I had this game on my wishlist forever - not even sure why I had put it there in the first place, probably liked the theme and the tags that described it, so I finally picked it up in the last summer sale. Solar Settlers reminds me a lot of a board game, which is not bad and maybe the creators should think about releasing a board game version of it, too. I would definitely buy that, too. The concept is kind of independent of the theme and works fine on its own, although I appreciate the setting. I do like board and card games a lot, so I might be a bit biased and I like the game for other aspects than I thought I would like it - it is more a puzzle game that requires you to recognize the distribution of the different "resources" and then try to make up shortfalls in one by utilizing others to make up for their lack. It is true, that this is a game that can be picked up and played through in 15 minutes, however, this is obscuring the truth a bit... One playthrough can be done in 15 minutes. However, then this cursed popup comes up and asks you if you want to play again... which means a playthrough is actually at least 30 minutes.... when the damn thing pops up again and then it's 45 minutes. At the end a whole lot of time has passed... but at least I had lots of fun and will come back to play my next 15... 30.. 45 minutes... or more. Good game - go and buy it!
