  Only played this game for 15 minutes and loving it. The game has the same feel as Evil Genius and Two point Hospital. I think i will be spending many hours playing this game. RECOMMENDED.

  So far, it's been really entertaining, and surprisingly more complex than what I'd expect of an Early Access game, so I'm looking forward to further content. I really love the aesthetics of the game, specially the illustrations and character design. The dialogue is really hilarious, and it really sets the tone of the storytelling. I found all the infraestructures, paths and even energy source management really complex and interesting, this paired with the characters having their own stats and perks, and also the investigation tree, gives the game much more depth than what I was expecting. The game surely lives up to the resource management genre and I think it got to a great start, so I really recommend it!

  As an experienced player in the genre, I have to say that One Military Camp is one of the most promising games of the year. This year has been amazing for strategy game enthusiasts, and One Military Camp stands out as one of the 10 best. I've been following this game since its earlier betas, and I've always loved how it distinguishes itself from other games in the genre. The game's progressive difficulty is well-balanced, and the content is rich, providing players a campaign with probably more than 30 hours of gameplay. The graphics are cool and clean, the attention to detail is impressive. The animations are fluid and smooth, adding a level of immersion that's hard to find in other games. The tutorial is perfect for beginners, but if you have played it previously you can always skip it. I love that they don't force you to do it. I am a discord community member and I was amazed with the game's focus on community feedback. The developers have been listening closely to what players want, and they've been implementing changes and updates based on that feedback, in addition to keeping a healthy community. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming sandbox mode and challenges. Overall, One Military Camp is a game that any strategy game enthusiast should try out. It's got everything that makes a great game: a solid gameplay loop, stunning graphics, and an engaged community. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us next. --------------------------------- PROS: The art and animations are exceptional. The game has been running smoothly, it seems to be quite well optimized. Campaign with clear goals. Solid gameplay and mechanics. Wide range of options and languages available. It doesn’t look like an Early Access game at all in several aspects. --------------------------------- CONS: Sometimes there may be a lot of text. If I don't prepare all the soldiers well, I may have to wait a little longer. I would like to know more about the ongoing missions beyond a loading bar.

  UPDATED: Please see my original comment below as I'm not altering much here in the update. I just want to point a few things about the game and address the top negative review. The game does have some little quarks, but nothing game breaking or that I would think even should constitute a negative review. My primary gripe with a game that challenges you to optimize your base, at the same time does not allow you to swap job positions. This was purposefully done from what I can ascertain as I mentioned this in a community thread and received a response from the dev. I can see the purpose in this. But in reality, any employer can change the position of an employee. In my opinion, this is a major area of the game that needs a slight bit of polish. I think most players are in agreement that they would like to see that feature implemented. Now as far as the negative review. They called the game "extremely" linear which I'm going to argue is at the very least over the top and an extreme critique. It is linear as far as a story campaign, but it offers some forks in the road and allows you to choose along which path you are going to proceed. It branches off in different directions once you get past the initial phase of setting up your base. The other reason this is a bad critique is because as soon as you open the New Game tab, you can clearly see that there is a sandbox mode in development. As I mentioned in my original review, there is plenty to do and keep your eye on in the main campaign. And I even think that there is a little bit of replay value as you are without a doubt going to identify things that you could do better or perhaps just differently. I saw a lot of likes on this review, so I thought that it is worth pointing out not that I'm meaning any disrespect to their opinion about the game. I have no dog in this fight. I'm just a fellow gamer. Original Post: I'm really enjoying this game so far. I saw Raptor play it yesterday and it drew my attention as it adds a very unique dimension to the base building/city management genre. It does well at what it represents. I don't think I have played a game where you develop and hone a military base in such a way. The script coupled with the cartoonic graphics provides good humor, but don't be fooled - this is still a thinking game. There is also already plenty in the game for design and optimization even though they are prefab, they are some of the best prefab you will see. I don't mind the prefab in this game because that is typical of military encampments. The primary concern of a military base is not posh architectural arrangements with some exceptions which the game very well accounts for, such as statues and entertainment venues for the troops. Even in the early stages of development, you will find plenty to keep your eye on. Below I will outline the pros and cons for easy reading. PROS: 1. The UI is clean and intuitive 2. Management depth 3. Though presented in a lighthearted way, still provides plenty of realism 4. Characters with a lot relative personality traits so that it's diverse but not overloaded 5. System requirements are minimal 6. Tutorial and story mesh well CONS: 1. The only con that I can mention at this time is that I couldn't officially swap staff positions. You can move them around, but they will keep the tag of the original position hired for. Miscellaneous: 1. There is a sandbox mode in development. Right now there is only the main campaign. But there seems to be plenty in the campaign already that you will enjoy the game plenty while knowing that sandbox is on the way improving the replay value of the game. This is not a half done early release. It just gives the players the opportunity to start playing the game as it continues to develop from its foundation which is the point of early access. So, this should be viewed in a positive light so long as the developers stay on task.

  Played for 5 hours first run. Very good game. Lots to do, easy enough learning curve and different from most building/city games. I like that you have missions and lots of things to keep you busy....never a dull moment. Loving this game! Good Job Devs.

  A good resource management game, I'm not good at this kind of games and my camp is broke after the first 4 days, but nonetheless the game is fun, simple and easy to learn.

  We have waited and waited and we are not left wanting really, sure the roadmap has the coming features, but the core game is here and its as good as they tote. The graphics are beautiful and very well drawn and detailed. The characters are believable and fun,(can we rename them soon?) And the general mechanics of the over world map is cool, being able to take territories AND having them have specific resources adds a whole new layer of strategy to this title. Get it, i doubt youll want to refund it, its that COOL. The devs are very responsive and the discord is alot of fun to be part of, so pick up the game on sale(more than fair price) and then pop into the discord and join the rest of us as we enjoy this unique cool little title.

  Wow I have to say, I'm really impressed with the game. The graphics are super cool and you can tell that the developers put a lot of care into them. I can get lost in the animations for hours just exploring the camp, I really need to get all the buildings just to see what each NPC does, it's hypnotizing. The game itself is really addictive, I want to play more after the first hours of gameplay. It's hard to believe that it's still in Early Access because I feel it's already polished. I'm really excited to see where the developers take this game in the future. Keep it up devs, this is the right path.

  Honestly great game, it's got some fun dialogue and very much feels like a better evil genius game. Keep up the good work devs :)

  Enjoyed the first hour very much, I think this has a lot of potential! The Graphics for sure are on point and have a lot of charm! :-) Also looking at the tech tree and the global map there is some depth to it! Looking forward to spent more time with it!
