The insult to injury was this disaster was entirely my fault, much like politicians I roast constantly for their inability to balance resources properly I’d just done the same. Without a means to produce them quickly enough, expansion began to slow to a crawl and considering a good portion of that expansion was centered around farming and water it was dire. I’d expanded too far too quickly and as such, I stretched my most important resource far too thin. The SimCity comparisons on the surface are beyond valid, especially when it didn’t seem like I was encountering any alien dangers through my time on the planet.īut then, disaster did strike and it struck in the form of my own idiocy.
The beautiful forested and somewhat mountainous world of Vanaar seemed like a perfect place to put the colonization through its paces, and sure enough, it was! Starting from nothing, I slowly began to build up my colony as I saw fit while also following different mission objectives as they appear, such as increasing my colony population, my farming output, mining resources with better efficiency and the like. I had to ease into the game, so I went with a rather hospital looking planet as I jumped into the Sandbox mode. It may be like SimCity in that you’re managing a growing population center, but the similarities mostly end there. Whether that environment is welcoming or hostile, it’s up to the player to make sure the newly founded colony becomes a shining symbol of human ambition and prosperity. More is at stake than financial crises and PR blunders, this is to be a new home for those who would dare to venture beyond the cradling arms of the earth.
In my short time with Aven Colony so far, this is not a game of balancing economic booms with woes and the occasional disaster. It makes it sound as though it is a clone with an extraterrestrial backdrop. While that is true, it’s also an unfair blanket statement.
People have been saying it for months, Aven Colony is SimCity but in space.
