Nova Lands

Nova Lands doesn’t really give you anything new in the management genre, but it is charming, colourful and addictive. I wasn’t bored at all. Really that’s all I want in a game like this, and I think it’s a great introduction to the genre for anyone who might be interested.

Nova Land takes you to a remote galaxy to create the best settlement in space using your wit and tons of robots. A perfect inde game to get addicted to right away.

From a humble start to developing a massive network of automated islands, Nova Lands is one of the most rewarding games of its kind.

Nova Lands avoids nearly all the pitfalls of the ever popular sim genre, providing a charming and accessible experience which is hard not to like.

Nova Lands is an adorable base builder with a hint of RPG action. Can you open every island and automate your base? Explore every piece of land and rub shoulders with some friendly aliens. I adored it, but clumsy controls and limited replay value hold it back.

Nova Lands is exactly what you need if you need a less stressful session of gaming. That is not to say it is not frustrating as at times you will feel like an underappreciated supervisor when the bots are not doing what you are expecting them to do. But you are the master of these bots and they are as only as good as your strategy. It is a neat little game but something you will only play through once.

Nova Lands has won our hearts. The heaviness at the start of the game quickly fades away, giving way to a desire to go as far as possible. Progression is fairly well balanced and the title is never frustrating, even going so far as to make you think about how to improve your productions once you have turned off the console. The experience has been quite enjoyable. Provided you enjoy the genre, Nova Lands is well worth a minute of your time.

With its resource management proposal, material collection and construction evolution. Nova Lands delivers all of this in a way that's satisfying, simple, and fun. The use of robots to do the boring part makes the game less tiring and boring. After hours and hours of work, you see that everything was built thanks to your robots. They are the basis of everything and will help you with most tasks in the game. Protect them, evolve them, and always be willing to fight with them and for them.

The gameplay of this farming-style game is highly addictive. The automation mechanics are straightforward and simple to grasp. It would have been more enjoyable if there were larger areas or additional islands, even if they maintained the same themes. In summary, this game provides a relaxed experience where you gather, construct, and enhance various elements. The gameplay loop is incredibly gratifying.

Pros: - Clear progression system. - Each resource has at least 1 use. - Easy 20+ hours of content. - Fairly relaxed game, rewards idleness via the player house which is a nice feature. Cons: - Sometimes crashes when autosaving, will still save but a minor inconvenience nonetheless. - Had a bug stopping my produced lubricant / super lubricant / biofuel from being transported from the island it was created on unless I was not near the island. - Controls can be slightly clunky. E.G. having to drag an item to the bin everytime you want to delete something, autotargeting not prioritising enemies / progressed tame, no copy paste for storages.

El juego parte de una idea que podría ser interesante, fusionar Forager y (en menor medida) factorio. Pero desgraciadamente el resultado es un pequeño juego en el que tendremos que luchar contra el inventario y los baúles durante el 95% del juego. El sistema de almacenamiento es tan desagradable y atrasado, que el resto de factores dan igual. Un ejemplo es que NO podremos almacenar directamente del inventario al cofre, tendremos que abrirlo, bajar 3 veces, seleccionar el objeto y pulsar un botón... así todo el rato. Ojo, y además de todo esto, SOLO se pueden apilar 100 unidades en los escasos 4 huecos de los cofres... hay que ser memo para diseñarlo así de mal. Además, lo limitado de nuestra mochila hace el avance pesado. Se te quitan las ganas de visitar islas o hacer las escasas misiones. Solo con el enorme problema de gestión, el juego ya no vale la pena en absoluto, pero a esto hay que sumarle: Un estúpido sistema de oxigeno que te hace regresar sin motivo cada pocos segundos. Un movimiento desesperadamente lento. Un sistema de combate de principios de los 90. Nulas mecánicas de "calidad de vida" que faciliten muchas tareas. Una gestión de Drones poco trabajada. Etc. Lo pongo un 2 por que me dio 2 horas de juego antes de mandarlo a la papelera.
