Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Seems like a super fun game but we are struggling to get into more because it takes so long to get started and the tutorial isnt as helpful as it could be. The design is top tier, but we wish things that make a huge difference take less time (rovers, some construction, credit accumulation, etc.). Its not as fun when we were to play more but we have to sit here and wait for our rover to travel 45 minutes back and forth. We want to love this game and we think we can, just with lower time constraints.
We just got this game and we love it and its been like 5 minutes.
Excelente juego, grficas excelentes.
Just started playing, but so far it is amazing.
Put it like this, we forget exactly what we were doing before playing the game, sometimes during the game. Its immersive.
We have completed free ones. We would temporarily offload as we are out of spaces until we could afford purchased one one day to purchase or payback through other apps.
If youre like us and often wonder or worry about the themes and setting of TerraGenesis or Landfall, youll really love these games. Not only are you actively learning and having fun, youre contributing to a global decentralized network with the goal of the continuation of the human species, our fellow species that inhabit our planet, and the rights of the planetary bodies we live on theirselves. Anyone want to put some sand trout on their skin with us? Call us Leto II and lets all donate to Tilting Point. We love the name of the LLC even – Turning Point/PragerU but for an actual good cause? Brilliant.
This game has great graphics and is a good sequel to the original game. The only improvement that we would like to see is a pause feature. There are times we would like to pause the game so it doesnt just continue on while we are at work or asleep. We are puzzled that the original game can be paused but not this one since this game requires more micro-management than the original.
We can attest to the fact that cust. Service is exceptional! We had to quit playing for awhile but we love the improvements to the game. 5 stars for Cust. Support.
Landfall in our opinion is better than the original Terra genesis. If you have terra genesis and want to try this game out we would absolutely recommend it. If you have read other reviews about this game, they might say that the game is too hard and there are never a sufficient amount of resources to be successful. But those reviewers arent realizing that this game is about strategy. Landfall isnt supposed to be one of those games where you can just beat the whole app in one hour. Its supposed to engage you and teach you how to make a right choice. The reason landfall is an amazing game is not because it might be hard for you, it is because you can play it for so long and you basically cant be bored of it because if people admit its so hard, then youd want to solve a problem, find more resources for new settlers, build high tech facilities or finish up research, youd want to keep doing one thing, then the next. What Im saying is, if youre a quitter, then you wont be capable of being successful in this game.
It needs a little bit of updating but overall its really fun so far. We also like Terra Genesis. These games are not only fun, but educational.
Awesome but its like basically impossible to get credits, make that easier.
The nuclear reactor research has a problem, we have everything required for the research but the game tells us "insufficient resources" we hope they can fix it soon.
First off, Id like to say that we really like this game. The base designing is challenging yet fun. Things take a very reasonable amount of time to complete. The resource gathering is very satisfying. Because we like this game, we want to offer a few recommendations. 1). The controls for rotation are kind of inconsistent. Similarly to the option for gridlocking, we feel like there should be an option for rotation lock for 45 and 30 degree angles. 2). There is no way to discard items. There are certain events in the game where you may receive more items than you can hold, and it costs moral. For example, we got a bunch of Uranium early game that we could do nothing with. If there was a way to sell stuff with the rocket at a very discounted price, that would be nice. 3). Workers get into fatal accidents too often. We like the mechanic, and it is a cool challenge in gameplay, but it feels like every in-game day Im replacing the engineer working on our solar panels. 4). We play the game on a small screen, and a UI option to make some of the button sizes a touch bigger would be convenient. We remember playing the other TerraGenesis game years ago, and we really enjoyed it. We can tell this is a very talented team working on this game, and we wish you people the best of luck. Thank you for making entertaining games.
After a rocky start, this game grew on us. Absolutely recommend it.
We like space exploration games and base/colony building games, and this is a very good mix of the two. We tried it because Terragensis was pretty good so we wanted to see what else they made. If you liked Terrgenesis but wanted it on a space-base building scale, you will love this.
This is a rad game! We started with TerraGenesis, and then got into this as well. We like using the tech to build and survive on the planet. Its simple at first but then you can build some cool stuff. And we love the self automation with the factories as you ours more resources and turn it into chips and vehicles to use. Once you build up your city you can get really creative. And we like that money can be made easily through researching, we usually hit those up first to start the income to build more.
We have enjoyed the game this far, but its not a game that will hold attention for hours on end. This is a great game for those little moments, break time, before bed, etc.
The game was awesome. It was kind of realistic, but that wasnt the problem. We liked how the game wasnt too hard but it wasnt easy either. We also like the idea of living on another planet.
Im enjoying the game. Im beginning to understand how to go about building and sustaining the colony. We hope to be playing this game for quite awhile.
But we would LOVE it if you could align buldings better.
The games real nice but dont watch adds it just crashs.
So far Im enjoying the game, but it is quite challenging.
Its just kinda peaceful in a way we cant describe.
We love this game but it could use a thing or two you driving cars and walking around like in SimpleRockets2 and like in ever tech sandbox where you build your own car and if you read this thank you.
This is a very fun and interesting game. We love astronomy and technology so this is perfect for us.
But too early to tell whether it will remain fun, or if it will turn out to be just another endless money hole that is designed solely to get you to spend, spend, spend then spend some more. But we currently have high hopes for this game. Plenty of initial fun.
The customer service dept may be small but they are light years ahead of other games. They are helpful and respond quicker than others with larger cust. Support staff.
A bit of a learning curve but just about add free.
We played terra genisis and it was fun besides the fact you couldnt see what you built. Seeing what grand civilization you have made feels like an accomplishment, especially after making a goal.
This is almost exactly what we were looking for.
Its a really good game, good time killer. But the game hasnt been updated in 7 months.
So far really enjoying the game. It did a great job getting us into the mechanics of the game and the play is engrossing.
We love this game can you please send one more update.
We just started playing but so far its very interesting and its fun if your into this type of thing.
Game Is fun to play, interesting, all around excellent.
This is an interesting game. Just enough details to make the game interesting but not so much too bog it down.
We thing the game is on fire but only one problem we keep getting kicked out of the game when we watch ads.
We dont know what to say because it just told us to write a review but we think it is a great game.
Customer service : can you add to the game to see inside the rocket going to mars.
We havent played a lot but from what we have it was really good.
Im always looking for that rare, unique game for the ipad. Theres way too many cookie cutter, copy and paste, games out there where graphics are different but overall its the same old boring type of game. Theres also way too many games that look great, but the downloaded game isnt the same. False promotion and or advertising. This game looked awesome. Downloaded it. Played it for about five minutes and so far Ive discovered that its one of those rare games thats IMO unique. Dont know how stable it is, too early to tell but anybody out there looking for a good game thats unique then this ones a definite winner. We give it a solid five stars, which we dont do all that often. Ill see with time how this holds up, but for now two thumbs way up for this one. Update: Im holding off dropping this app down from five stars because frankly, it deserves it, but we do have some issues: 1) Bad events are waaay too common, especially in your first colony which SHOULD serve to allow you to learn about the game, its functions, etc. Maybe it would be dangerous to set up a real colony on Mars but hey, this is just a game. Sure, some danger, even in the first colony, Im ok with but IMO it needs a serious reduction in frequency. Beneficial events should heavily outweigh bad events in the first scenario/colony, and then introduce levels of difficulty you can change in later colonies. 2) Too many settlers required to run things. IMO, by the time we do reach Mars, we can imagine most things will be automated. Rovers and shuttles, ESPECIALLY shuttles should be automated requiring no settlers to run, or have a hub requiring one settler to run all shuttles by remote. We think we see this in game as something to be researched and thats ok, but at least reduce the starting requirement to run shuttles from we think its five engineers down to one (MAYBE two) to start, than zero required after research. The factory and lab, maybe the cafeteria, maybe the crew reqs for those are ok, but most everything else so far should be automated, or have a reduced crew required to one. 3) After you reach 40 settlers in your first colony, you shouldnt be forced to automatically start a new colony. We know, you can return to the first colony but really, after completing the objective for the first colony the option to start a second colony should become available, and not just drop you into it. Thats it for now we think, but gotta say good work so far. Just needs improvement here and there.
A lot of games made by this company are super fun. They are complicated but we love complicated games. It keeps things interesting. We would definitely recommend.
Its pretty fun to like go around the planet and evolute our planet and the other planets in this game we would say it a pretty awesome game.
Would be a 5 star if they didnt abandon the app 2 years ago.
Simple and decent. Rover hiccups in the beginning lead to a slow start but interesting.
This has been going on for about 2.5 to 3 months since we first discovered the problem it wont let us play the game every time we Press the button for it just a few seconds after It reaches what we Would say is 30 maybe 35 percent loaded it says Sorry an error has occurred and gives us two choices copy it to the clipboard or Quit and It wont even tell us what went wrong. Please fix it.
Enjoyable this far barely new player not sure what to expect nor the learning curve. At this point we want to know if this is the typical pay to play or an actual game that can be played without spending a small fortune in line with ..ASA.
A little complicated but good on how realistic it is.
You need to add more planets in dwarf planets, and moons.
