Cute but harsh settlement builder

This game is Anno 1404 mixed with Timberborn. Your pioneers start a settlement on an island of choice, collect resources etc. But here is the twist: You have to pay taxes to the "claws" in form of resources, gold etc. Tax ships come to collected, every 2 days or so. The long you are able to pay your debt everythig is fine. But once seasons change, collecting food is getting harder, the winter is absolute brutal. Soon enough you struggle to keep your wiskers alive, and payoff your debts. Missing your payoffs means that your settlement will be destroyed. (shot to pieces). So far I'ven't been able to do automations. I've quit two plays (early) so far, As I didn't liked the difficulty. Then there are some annoyances; your warehouse fillsup with rock very quickly, which makes it impossible for for other resource to be stored. So make sure that you limit or reject rocks (debris) early on. to get rid of the rocks, stone cutters to make stones from rocks; nope you can't asign workers, you need apprentice to do the job. Some goes for fishermen, requires apprentice. (good luck with the brutal winters). How the create apprentices? school them, you need one skilled whisker to teach other whiskers.... How to get them: RNG (every x days new whiskers are shipped, which you can "buy"). Let's hope with the full release, those subjects will be coverd with some kind of tutorial. I did like the game's concept, didn't like playing it... At the current state: 3.5/5 stars.

Manage a colony and pay taxes.

Don't let the the cutesy graphics fool you. This game is about survival. And on normal difficulty it is quite hardcore. It's a mix between Against the Storm, Timberborn and Frostpunk. It has the verticality of Timberborn, the heat managment of Frostpunk and resource gathering and shipping of AtS. The entire plot is - you are sent to establish a colony and pay taxes. There are 3 scenarios currently, each changing what kind of difficulty you will face. One has the tax collector show up less frequent, but pirates more often, another - the inverse. Apart from these scenarios the difficulty can also be customized. To what extent the ''cozy'' difficulty removes taxes and pirates I have not actually tested. ;( My main gripe with the game, surprisingly, is it's slow pacing. I'm into the second game year and I'm making progress at a snails pace. Instead of smelting copper into bars and making logs into planks so that I can advance into the tech-tree I have to stockpile those resources because the cats don't accept refined resources as payment... Essentially ~33% of what I make I have to return as payment for ''having granted me the privilige to establish this colony in the first place''. Apart from paying taxes there are also pirates that come by every now and then to extort you... It's a harsh life. You're still making progress, but it's just slowed down because of the entire aspect of giving away your resources. There are remedies. You can only send 25-50% of the taxes requested of you at the cost of worsening relationships with the cats. But this also has the drawback that - if you send 100% or even 150% or 200% of the requested taxes - the cats actually grant you some hard to come by resources for free; and maybe even a technology or two. Also... there's only so much they will tolerate this postponement. Every now and then they also give you optional quests that either lower the taxes or give you something in return. ''A cats love is harsh, but fair'' as they say. You may also trade some refined materials to smugglers. Essentially... what all of this does is - give you a challange, but also makes your progress real slow and tedious. It is a good game. Still in EA, so I'm surprised how it will turn out. The devs have acknowledged the difficulty is a little on the harsh side. Just a few examples of things that were changed in the few days since it appeared: *Reduced production tax by 33% across all difficulties. *Reduce Admin tax by 8 per day. *Nerf pollution generated by all heaters by half. *Speed up stone mining by 40% *Increase the capacity of all warehouses by about 60% It is, very much, a work still in progress. Playable & enjoyable though but difficult - and what the ''cozy'' difficulty does I cannot tell, but it is there.

Challenging and cozy

Other comments already mentioned that this can be seen as a mix of gems like Timberborn, Against the storm or Anno. Starts off cozy and let's you get comfy with the basics. Up until this point I was wondering why everyone mentioned the difficulty level of this game. Don't let those fat cats fool you, they are pure evil! Must have if you enjoyed any of the mentioned games. Kudos and keep up the good work!

Mouse Dystopia Experiment

Looks like a cute cozy colony builder, but it is actually pretty harsh! You play as colonial mice sent by the cat crown to set up a colony on some rocky islands with harsh winters and a race to obtain enough resources to pay the crown's rising taxes while meeting the also rising expectations by your mouse colonists. Fail to make tax payments multiple times and the crown will send a man'o'war to periodically blow up random buildings in your colony. Fail to keep your colonists happy and you won't have the happiness to bring in more colonists and use policy boosters - happiness is a currency in this game as "approval". The endgame of rebellion and declaring independence doesn't seem to be in yet but the core gameplay colony builder, survival, and tax loop is in. I enjoyed the verticality offered by the islands as you can build buildings on top of each other, linking them by stairs and platforms as well as go underground in the search for ores to refine or pay as taxes. I am building what I call the "shackscraper" with multilevel housing/work places with bridging over to the mountains where I have farms and mines. Looks like a Dickensian industrial nightmare ;-) The devs are active on Steam and discord, taking in tickets and making bug fixes and balance passes. They wanted the game to be harsh and with some of the balancing it seems like they realized they went a little too harsh - I strongly recommend toning down the difficulty settings in your first playthrough until you get a feel for the game and start acquiring some of the mid-late game automation tools. Once you start obtaining more advanced structures, you will probably feel like you want to bulldoze and rebuild your colony. This is a great start and I am confident that the devs with Hooded Horse backing will make this into a great game.
