  Mechanically very shallow. I was fortunate to never work out how to make any of the buildings that make the camp self sufficient operate, which meant that I had a finite time to finish the game before running out of money which added some much needed intensity but otherwise its a case of training a soldier for a mission by assigning them to a building, waiting for them to get to the desired level, then send them on a mission. Repeat. No depth beyond that. It's surprising that this game hasn't already been made as military and management are two themes that both make sense together and are popular, yet this game fails to make the them synergise.

  First off: This is a recommendation based on the current state. I see a lot of potential and if they change some things, I'd probably recommend it wholeheartedly. The good: Great assets, animations and art style truely do continue the Evil Genius legacy. Good fence building implementation Solid foundation The bad: The gameplay is extremely linear at the moment. Yet, the game leaves it up to you how to research etc. (and doesn't help you either), meaning you can very easily run bankrupt when you need the next type of soldier to do a mission. Base building is more like a mobile game and less like Evil Genius. You only plonk down prefab buildings, decorations are fairly expensive and take up precious space. One feature that is dearly missed, is an easy way to see all your soldiers in an overview that allows progression. You will often want/need to take a very highly skilled "simple" soldier and upgrade them to something else, because training a total newby all the way would take forever. This means losing all their low level exprience. In Evil Genius you had the nice forward progression overview, where you simply specified the count. This worked well. Here we have indivduals with multiple individual skills that need to be progressed, with no natural progression through the different levels. This makes keeping track of who is what, how many you have and which one to upgrade very cumbersome at the moment. At the same time the game expects you to do mobile game tasks like "clicking on spies" so they don't blow up your base. Which you have to do even while micromanaging your staff. Also, most disappointingly you can not post guards (except on watchtowers) and there is neither a yellow or red alert. Even when you call out an enemy in your base, only the "guard" class of people will try to get them (This is a military base ffs). Everyone else just ignores it entirely. The enemies also don't get arrested or killed, they simply disappear in a smokebomb every time. I get that this was probably a choice to get the game a child friendly rating, but honestly I find it ridiculous in a game that is depicting a military force. The game should decide what it wants to be and preferably take more inspiration from Evil Genius and less influence from mobile games. Right now it's missing tons of details that made Evil Genius great and I can't recommend you buy it. I will probably revisit this review later if they actually improve the game.

  Waiting simulator. But don't look away, because you have to micromanage things while you wait and your soldiers aren't smart enough to take themselves to the hospital when they get hurt. Also, hire a billion security guards so you can watch every sliver of road to catch enemy spies. You will have more security guards than soldiers, because soldiers don't know how to guard their own base.

  Not enough content for 30€. Enemys are no threats. Game is to easy, you train your soldier to 100 on all stats, and you win every mission. That's it. You don't need a strategy, you don't need to think about your next step nothing. Building a base is okay, but it doesn't matter where you place your buildings. Those drone attacks are also unbalanced, the anti drone launcher does almost no damage, requires a second building to work and the radius is almost nothing. Ressouce management is also annoying and is nowhere challenging. You only get annoyed that you have to restock every warehouse every 2 minutes. Later with a tech it does it automaticly, which makes ressource management more useless. Currently you sit between missions and wait till your soldiers have all stats up and are ready for an upgrade, after that you do 1 mission and it repeats. Because the next mission needs another speciality. So you wait and train them again. There were no bugs, graphics are also ok but gameplay is 99% just waiting.

  I came across One Military Camp during one of the indie games fests, played the demo and immediately fell in love, eagerly awaiting the release into Early Access. Then the day came, I booted it up and... straight up had lots of fun. I easily poured 50+ hours into two full playthroughs and felt satisfied, especially with the devs being quick on the response and actively engaging with the community. But after that, I thought I was done, maybe I could squeeze another playthrough after the release. Devs kept working, they released updates to mixed reaction, enhanced missions were an amazing addition if it was my first time playing the campaign, but they weren't enough to keep me around and I abandoned that save third of the way through, self-sufficiency update sparked some controversy, for me the conveyor belts that they added look goofy but weren't a deal-breaker, for others it absolutely was too out of place and I can't blame them. But now? The long-awaited Sandbox finally came, the Battle part of it requires some work, but the Reconquest is simply brilliant. It immediately brought me back into the game and after coming to conclusion that I don't regret buying, but am pretty much done with OMC, it immediately shot up to one of those games I'll be back for another playthrough every couple of months. What's there? One Military Camp is a lighthearted management game, right up there with all the 'Themes' and 'Tycoons' of the past. In a world where hi-tech dictator suddenly overwhelmed military of a whole country, we take over a band of plucky resistance fighters in their abandoned, rundown military facility. From now on recruits from all over the place will flock to our Camp, where we will decide to reject them, recruit them or hire as a staff, as you'll need to balance the camp between soldiers you'll send on the missions and workers that will keep the camp running and take care of needs of everyone inside it. You'll slowly and painstakingly liberate the map province after province, getting access to new resource providers (Camp runs on Oil, Ammo, Food and Medicine, all of which can be made in-house now), towns (raising probability of new recruits showing up with various positive traits or being an extra income source if you squeeze them with taxes) and banks (because budget can be pretty tight at times and loans will be required). At its core, OMC is an idle game, you set things in motion and await results, Campaign missions have some very limited interactivity, but your Soldiers tend to fight without much input aside of sending them out in a helicopter and retrieving them after the mission is done (or what was left of them, if it failed). To help with that each building can be looked into, to see your men and women at work or leisure, each tends to have two or more stations, with own set of animations, so inspecting it all gives a pleasant distraction while waiting for next batch of decisions. I especially enjoy the little detail of your soldiers training, they fumble a lot at first, sometimes in cartoony ways, but the better they get, the more successful they become at those tasks. It gives them some personality and I feel like getting attached to your little guys is an important part of such games. If you come in looking for a hardcore milsim, it's not here. The writing is pretty comedic, although it doesn't try to force it, you'll meet people obsessed with cabbages, an evil lieutenant so bothered by her allergies that she brainwashes people and uses industrial methods to remove all the flowers from lush grasslands, you will get prompted to send off some of your soldiers as a music band to raise morale of population. Cutscenes and mission intel is full of small puns or larger skits like those, but it never felt intrusive thanks to the general writing direction, it's a comedy, but full of characters living in it, rather than being pawns in the jokes, so it has a good flow. And when the confrontation with big bad evil approaches, we get a right mix of epic and drama, for a climactic ending.

  Honestly it feels like an EA game for the amount of content and the complete decorelation of many game systems along with some extremely strange design choices. I have finished the campaign in 18hours approximately, and I might start a sandbox game one of these days but I feel like i've seen everything the game has to offer, and do not feel like getting through the slog of counterintuitive things again. I didn't unlock half the research tree because it's useless, and the game rushes you to complete missions because your cash flow is always negative and you have to stay afloat by completing missions after missions, which require hiring and training more guys, taking your cash flow even lower. It's also hard to see when you reach a balance point through the "self sustaining" buildings (production buildings for the main resources) since they don't factor in your finance report. Otherwise, it's polished, and the UI/UX are quite good, the style is good. It's just the core gameplay that feels like it plays against itself. The music is alienating though. Need more tracks, more variety. I had to turn it off. I'd keep an eye on future updates, and wait for a sale to get it if you're fan of the genre.

  Absolutely recommend this game. Good graphics, good story. Needs some finishing touches but these devs seem to really care about this games development.

  Promising but not fun yet and definitely not worth the price tag (yet). The economy part is non existent (the reason I bought it for) and there is no real tactical element at all. I hope they keep working on it so it becomes more fun and that it delivers the aspects they promised in the intro.

  Unfortunately I cannot recommend this. I tried to give it the full 2 hours before I refunded it but I gave up. It's a game where you just sit and wait. Hire a soldier, train it up in a stat, specialise it, send on mission. Rinse and repeat. I spent most of the game on the fastest speed just waiting for something to happen. When I dealt with that I'd just have to wait again until I was able to address that. It reminded me initially of Evil Genius but as I played it the similarities started to disappear. In Evil Genius you have hundreds of minions but you don't need to manage them. In this each soldier must be manually housed and sent to a particular skill training building. Then when you need to train another skill you have to manually re-assign the building. Also in EG you had enemy agents trying to force there way into your base and you'd have to make use of traps and security doors. I don't think this has that, I believe it has enemy drone attacks but from what I've read in the reviews they're nothing special. This plays like a mobile game. It takes a lot of time to get to a point where you can do something and that something you do isn't very involved.

  Nice and addicting city building/tycoon game. I wasn't sure the military theme was for me, but it is lighthearted and fun. It's a good game to just chill, build stuff and watch the recruits do their thing with some funny animations, but it also has some depth to it, especially with the new modes. The sandbox mode has been a welcome addition. The campaign can get repetitive after a while, but there's plenty of customization in the sandbox and even a new layer of strategy with the enemy being able to retake territories. However, I'm left wanting more. I hope the devs can continue to expand it (looking at the roadmap and previous updates, I remain hopeful)
