“A great game. Yes, the studio has closed, but it's very fun and quite addictive. Many many hours to still go for me to complete this game, or achieve what I want. So, do not be deterred knowing that it no longer…”

“Different take on city builders. Not a great tower defense game at all, but if you play it as an exploration/building game its pretty fun and can be challenging. The graphics are decent and the animations are pretty…”
“gives different senerios to play and challenge yourself”
“This is a somewhat challenging game, but stick to it. It's usually self explanatory or you can find the answers online.”

“Endzone is an enjoyable but mostly unremarkable colony sim. I think it's worth trying if you enjoy the genre, but at the same time I don't think it really stands out unless you really like the post-apocalyptic theme.…”

“Its fun when you play it through the first couple times. But eventually al the playthroughs end up being very similar. Lots to do though for your giant city, so will keep you busy for a long while.”

“The best way to summarize this game, is to tell you about the tutorial. I played for 5 hours, and i still didn't finished it, and there are 5 or 7 of them. The tutorial sucks, and the game sucks. Its slow in un-fun way,…”
“Almost impossible to get set up long term. Disease, famine, lack of resources, bad weather, every single citizen needing a piece of PPE and tool which degrade over time, and obviously the radiation. Not worth it even on…”

“This game is like a more open version of frostpunk, which is nice. It can be a bit difficult but once you have a good flow, it can be very easy/fun. A shame the studio shut down and hope the IP gets acquired somehow”
— a player, Steam review · 55 hrs played“Amazing challenge design. I really loved the mechanics and struggle with the environment. Every play is different and unique. I am glad tutorial took 3.5 hours, otherwise i wouldnt understand this game at all. Strategy is my favourite genre and i have almost 300 games in my…”
— a player, Steam review · 19 hrs played“I got fed up with this because my villagers were starving despite every warm body going directly into food production. I think the root problem is probably that food and water production is opaque. I had no idea how much food or water any given job produced. I had farms,…”
